Science and investing

[John Lawson, PhD @OmicDataScience]

I offer consulting services for statistics, R programming, machine learning, and biomedical research. Whether you need advice on the statistics of a research study or help creating a data analysis pipeline in R, I can help you achieve your goals. You can send me a DM to learn more.

@tanya_shapiro ggplot also just has a lot of options for modifications!

@MariaNarino99 @TrumanLab I modified my settings so you should be able to now.

I haven't tried PS/Illustrator so I can't compare to those but Inkscape has general functionality for modifying svg figures. I generally do much of the work with ggplot then combine panels of a multi panel figure in Inkscape. You can select items and align them, delete extra lines/background lines, move legends, group and ungroup objects, change colors/font/line thickness etc.

@chydorina I believe beta blockers can interfere with melatonin production. They have been tested for treatment of the sleep/genetic disorder Smith Magenis Syndrome which has an altered circadian rhythm

@GRomePow It would be interesting to see change in working age adults compared to change in retired individuals/individuals supported by social security. Probably a smaller ratio of workers supporting retired over time.

@JanetDafoe @JanetDafoe why is it by invitation only?

Want to annotate sources of epigenetic variation in your DNA methylation, ATAC-seq, or multi-omics data? Check out the paper on our Bioconductor package, now out in Genome Biology. @shefflab @UVABME @uva_biodatasci @Bioconductor

COCOA: coordinate covariation analysis for epigenetic heterogeneity, from @OmicDataScience, Sheffield and co. Analyzes covariation of epigenetic data across individuals eg can predict ER status of breast cancer from methylation. Also can use ATAC-seq etc https://t.co/VXffpkbNnJ

[John Lawson, PhD @OmicDataScience]

Check out our new preprint! A method to annotate epigenetic heterogeneity across samples with biologically meaningful regulatory information. Thanks to the other authors for all their hard work! @shefflab @UVABME @uva_biodatasci
