Excited to share a synthetic biology episode this week! My guests @thegassymicrobe and @MilleniemFulkon did a GREAT job explaining several core, introductory concepts in synbio like biosensors, circuit diagrams, and reporters. Find it now or just click https://t.co/rOFTQADeDS
Last but not least, huge thanks to all the co-authors! Tor Savidge lab (Tor & Qinglong), Villapol lab (@svillapol & Sirena), Mendling lab (Werner, Partick, & Enid), Dilthey lab (@AlexDilthey & Alona), & my group @RiceCompSci: @michaelnute, @QiMariaWang1, Libby, and @kristendcurry
Join us for our anniversary event, a free virtual symposium on March 31st featuring 16 talks on all aspects of #COVID research from COV-IRT scientists plus keynote talks from Dr. Sharon Peacock (@CovidGenomicsUK@Cambridge_Uni) & Dr. Duncan MacCannell (@CDCgov@dmaccannell) 1/n
Thrilled to share latest work from my group now out in @NatureComms titled: "PlasmidHawk improves lab of origin prediction of engineered plasmids using sequence alignment", led by PhD student @QiMariaWang1, along with @BKille, @LeoElworth , & @RiceCompSci undergrad Erin Liu. 1/n
Power restored just in time to share our new paper now out in @genomeresearch titled "Hidden genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2" led by my 2nd year Ph.D. student @SapovalNicolae in close collab with @sedlazeck @MedhatHelmy7 @mason_lab@dposada_ & many others! https://t.co/Zb3Khi8u6e
This week, listen to @traingene discuss analyzing SARS-CoV-2 diversity within one individual, COVID-19 diagnostics development, and the @Covirt19 international research organization. Listen on Spotify, Pocket Casts, and other major platforms, or just click https://t.co/x8eg9TB0us
The Bioinformatics And Beyond Podcast has officially released! Check out our first batch of episodes featuring Dr. Luay Nakhleh, @agladdenyoung, @DrMJoyner, and @Rickey_Carter. Click to listen now on Anchor (https://t.co/UWNsbyxJkc) and Spotify (https://t.co/vrezhO4mMu).
Happy to announce I've partnered with Great Basin Scientific (https://t.co/OCBRCMU6zS) to design a novel SARS-CoV-2 test, led by lab members Nick Sapoval (@SapovalNicolae) and Dr. Leo Elworth (@LeoElworth). Olivar software package available at https://t.co/6oMJwjdsj6 @RiceCompSci
*Final 24 hours*, few seats remain, don't miss out! Register now to hear Dr. Peter Hotez (@PeterHotez) discuss "COVID-19 Vaccines for Global Health" and Dr. Fiona Brinkman (@fionabrinkman) present the "Canadian COVID-19 Genomics Network" & many more talks! https://t.co/hGEFcdUZqZ
Latest preprint from my group now online: deep dive into SARS-CoV-2 intrahost variants to investigate "hidden" diversity, led by my PhD student @SapovalNicolae & in close collaboration with @sedlazeck@mason_lab@dposada_ and many other @Covirt19 members: https://t.co/COk3GSREU9
also v happy to share another preprint from my group that describes a new tool for alignment-based characterization of synthetic plasmids, led by my student @QiMariaWang1 w/ major contributions from my postdoc @LeoElworth & @RiceCompSci undergrad Erin Liu. https://t.co/r46PAJ0ny9
Excited to share -> "To Petabytes and beyond: recent advances in probabilistic and signal processing algorithms and their application to metagenomics". In collab with @Anshumali_@rbaraniuk and led by @QiMariaWang1 and Leo Elworth from my group: https://t.co/4naliE1gEq @NAR_Open
Only two days to go until the 1st @Covirt19#COVID19 virtual symposium! Taking place this Friday, April 17th. Event features 14 talks spanning multi-disciplinary COVID-19 perspectives. Register to attend for free at: https://t.co/E0FyAp9Ye7. @RiceCompSci@RiceEngineering @RiceK2I
Extremely proud of my graduate student Dreycey Albin for successfully defending his @RiceSSPB master’s thesis today (3/27) on “A Novel Computational Platform for Sensitive, Accurate, and Efficient Screening of Nucleic Acids”. Congrats @dreycey! SeqScreen: https://t.co/CEMcqkZhJN
