New software, Straglr, uses PCR-free long-read sequences to detect Short Tandem Repeats (STRs): "Until recently, read lengths were short; sequencing technologies were not a good replacement for conventional STR detection methods,” says Dr. Inanç Birol. https://t.co/6RoMaqjbuZ

Developed by @BCCancer_GSC's Birol Lab, introducing GapPredict, a proof-of-concept language model that can fill in gaps left from de novo genome assemblies: https://t.co/sUFuA0APY0

'Another solution that has been suggested is to develop animal-only antibiotics. Timothy Walsh [...] said it was “bonkers to use the same drugs in animal feeds as you would to treat neonatal sepsis”' - we couldn't agree more!

Also works for bulk RNA-seq :)

@KarsanAly Well done Dr. @rdocking

Well done, Justin Chu!

A news article describing our latest addition to scalable bioinformatics tools is out.
The tool, miBF, is available at

[Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre @GSCofBC]

In a new study published in @PNASNews, @InancBirol and his #bioinformatics and technology lab at @BCCancer_GSC developed miBF, a fast classification tool with high sensitivity and specificity, and low demand on computational memory. Read more here!

@WarrenRene @cbcnewsbc Are those two who I think they are?

[Inanc Birol @InancBirol]

Think saturating Bloom filters is bad?
Think again!

[Inanc Birol @InancBirol]

Our tool miBF for "Mismatch-tolerant, alignment-free sequence classification using multiple spaced seeds and multi-index Bloom filters" is published now.

It provides #mapping without #alignment

@ianbosdet @BCCancer Awesome news Ian. Hope quickly it becomes a distant memory.

The pun with the frog intended.🐸 The manuscript describes how bullfrog defense peptides can be discovered using genomics resources. The project was a multi-institutinal collaboration. #UBC #UVic #GSC #BCCDC

We have the preprint of our paper on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) discovery at @biorxiv_bioinfo https://t.co/DaonKDqIW6
#AMR is a global problem bigger than the current pandemic, but it is a classical case of a frog in slowly boiling water. AMPs and #MachineLearning to the rescue!
