🇨🇦👨‍💻🧬 🧗‍♂️⛰️ PhD student @JHUCompSci and fellow @genome_gov. Interested in algorithms & methods for comparative genomics.

[The Biodiversity Genomics Academy @TheBGAcademy]

It's Week 2 of BGA! I hope you're all ready for some more fantastic sessions, the first is @alexsweeten at 3pm Universal Time with ModDotPlot!

Happy to be home in 🇨🇦 for ISMB! Come check out my poster A81 about our methods for annotating satellite DNA 🧬🛰️ #ISMB2024

[Eric Green @NHGRI_Director]

Sometimes, to figure out how to sequence the genome of an animal, you need to first think like that animal. In a new video from NHGRI, postdoctoral fellow Brandon Pickett becomes an ape for a day to see if it could help him finish the ape genome sequence.

@nature_of_words Thank you :D

[Alex Sweeten @alexsweeten]

@mrvollger Big thanks to my advisors @aphillippy and @mike_schatz for their guidance throughout this project, and to @BKille and @niritsch for their advice and editing of the manuscript.

Happy to share our preprint for ModDotPlot - Rapid and Interactive Visualization of Complex Repeats https://t.co/AalUjZblvp

[Alex Sweeten @alexsweeten]

@mrvollger We additionally address issues relating to plotting artifacts and segmentation of intervals, along with some cool analysis of repeats within centromeres.

Excited to share our preprint: Integration of transcriptomics and long-read genomics prioritizes structural variants in rare disease. https://t.co/51w8F8qnS8.

[Ron Garcia @rg9119]

Congratulations to @niritsch on a fantastic job defending (and finalizing!) his dissertation, "Enriching Block-based End-user Programming with Visual Features." I think can I speak for @reid_holmes and @davidcshepherd and say we're all proud of what you've done!

[Alex Sweeten @alexsweeten]

Super honoured! Glad to see everyone stoked on dot plots. Thanks @RECOMBconf for a wonderful time in Istanbul!

[RECOMB Conference Series @RECOMBconf]

Best Poster Award goes to @alexsweeten, @mike_schatz
and @aphillippy: "Mod.Plot: A Rapid and Interactive Visualization of Tandem Repeats" Congratulations!

[Alex Sweeten @alexsweeten]

Also showcasing Mod.Plot today at Poster 153 @RECOMBconf

[Alex Sweeten @alexsweeten]

I'll be presenting Mod.Plot, a fast and fully interactive dot plot viewer, today at the @RECOMBseq poster session! https://t.co/lJ8wPFA5DW

@SloanEvoLab @RECOMBseq Thanks for the catch! Some of the x axis scaling was incorrect for certain sequence sizes. Latest version should fix this :)
