In our late night deep dive into the octopus that builds a biological stroller for her kiddos-- we also found this helpful illustration on how argo mamas maintain their position in the water column carting her eggs & body around!

I've titled this phenomenon "bobbing for buoyancy" and I'm Obceph'd!!!

super happy to share our latest work @niceyeastlab on the evolution of shared alleles across yeast species led by @nicolo_tellini (with Elena, Jonas, @andersbrgstrm) now in @NatureEcoEvo: https://t.co/nblhRyxWmV
super merci @AgenceRecherche @FRM_officiel @MaRegionSud

[Gianni Liti @liti_nice]

Today, we further exploit the jury and organise a @NiceSeq workshop on domestication across the tree of life, which was super interesting (someone said except for the third talk…). Thanks to @Univ_CotedAzur @ircaninstitute for support

[Gianni Liti @liti_nice]

Last couple of days were intense and exciting, yesterday Nic become Dr @nicolo_tellini after a long journey that culminated with a brilliant defence and a fantastic buffet, big thanks to the jury @TatianaGiraud6 @DelphineSicard @andersbrgstrm @edanchin

Dear bioinformaticians, is there a repository for bed files of whole-exome sequencing data (for GRCh37 and GRCh38)?

delighted to see the ScRAP out:

(very) long project largely founded by @AgenceRecherche #phenovar with @G__Fischer & @jo_schacherer & great interactions with many people, beyond the genome resource produced, new insights on how yeast genomes evolve

Visto che i negazionisti postano ritagli di 60 anni fa de "La Voce di Pizzighettone" per dimostrare che in estate faceva caldo, riporto i miei "ritagli" preferiti degli ultimi 100+ anni che mostrano ben altro. La selezione è arbitraria e incompleta. 🧵 1/n

We have a 2-year postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab! Join our yeast evolution and genomics team @Stockholm_Uni in Sweden @Zoology_SU

[Emilios Tassios @ETassios]

This paper is a lot of firsts. It is the first paper of the Evolutionary Genomics Lab, of course with the valuable input and help of Christoforos Nikolaou (@guilderstern), Nikos Vakirls' (@vakirlis) first last-author paper and my first first-author paper.

Dear all, there is anyone that knows because the distances as the crows flies calculated in Google earth/maps and those calculated by R packages are like 25% off? Like: Nice Marseille is given as ~160 km by Google and 214 by all R packages. But the _driving_ distance is < 200...

[Matteo De Chiara @MatNamo]

@galselo @lorenzotattini But package sf, using st_distance() after st_as_sf(..., crs=4326) -thanks @nicolo_tellini- gives 159... 2/2

Thanks for the insight! :-)

[Matteo De Chiara @MatNamo]

@galselo @lorenzotattini In fact, the problem is the coordinate reference system. distHaversine() from geosphere use a sphere (214km), but even with distVincentyEllipsoid(), using parameters for the WGS84, result is wrong (213km). 1/2
