@SLC_Repayment I'll try again but that is not what I was told on the phone 5 minutes ago.

📢 #Ensembl Rapid Release 61 is now out! Gene annotation for an additional 50 genomes is now available, including several bee species, blonde ray and watercress 🐝🌱🪰🌿

Find out if your favourite species is available at https://t.co/OcuR0hzDff 🥳

[Decode life @LifeDecode]

Live sessions from Plant genomics workshop by @LifeDecode and @ensembl @embl EBI UK.

[Michelle Bishop @mbishop_uk]

Why continue in-person training when virtual is so accessible? You can’t beat the connections made when interacting face-2-face. Future PRS collabs being formed here at #PRSAfrica2024 @eventsWCS @Makerere

[Ensembl @ensembl]

Rapid Release 60 is now live! We have added super exciting 41 additional genomes 🦈🐟🐇🐰 to our database. Find out if your favourite one is available here (https://t.co/3XVJ9p1pzu)

[GencodeGenes @GencodeGenes]

Out today: the Long-read RNA-Seq Genome Annotation Assessment Project (LRGASP) paper, featuring contributions from many GENCODE members, a systematic evaluation of methods for long-read transcript detection and quantification: https://t.co/4cJm1N7qYf

[EMBL-EBI Training @EBItraining]

There’s still time to join tomorrow’s #webinar with @GoogleDeepMind and @emblebi to explore how #AlphaMissense can predict missense
variant effect, and to discover where to find the predicted data. Registration is free but essential: https://t.co/X0vWYBqBgy #AI #geneticvariation

[FungiDB @fungidb]

This afternoon at the @ConnectingSci #Fungal #Pathogen #Genomics course in Hinxton, UK we dive into variant calling with #Galaxy and exploring variants in @yeastgenome @ensembl #fungidb

[Ensembl @ensembl]

How do you get students excited about plant genetics? Activities! @emblebi's @sarahcdyer and Briony prepared a @SciInSchool article describing the importance of plant genomes and how to set up exciting projects to bring to the classroom (or homes!) 🥳

We had an amazing attendance this morning for the @ensembl workshop at #ESHG2024 #berlin 🎉
@EBItraining @emblebi

[Ensembl @ensembl]

Fantastic start to #ESHG2024 with @aleenamolbio, Toby Hunt, Jonathan Mudge and Jamie Allen.

[EMBL-EBI Training @EBItraining]

Join us with @GoogleDeepMind and @emblebi to explore how #AlphaMissense analyses missense variants and predicts their potential pathogenicity, and discover where to find such predicted data. Registration is free but essential: https://t.co/X0vWYBq3r0 #AI #geneticvariation @Avsecz

[Ensembl @ensembl]

1/ You might know you can add custom tracks on #Ensembl, but can you visualise Ensembl features in the #Karyotype view? Absolutely! Let us show you how in this week’s #tweetorial!

[The DECIPHER Project @deciphergenomic]

#AlphaMissense scores from @GoogleDeepMind are now displayed on @Ensembl #VEP annotation tabs - these scores categorise single nucleotide missense variants as either likely pathogenic or likely benign @emblebi #genomics https://t.co/ZdIHOLqeuJ

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

You can find out more by registering for our upcoming webinar taking place on 7 June 2024, focusing on AlphaMissense data integration into EMBL-EBI resources.

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

To help scientists explore whether a genetic variant is likely pathogenic, and which regions of proteins are functionally important, we've integrated AlphaMissense data by @GoogleDeepMind into @ensembl, @uniprot & the AlphaFold database.

[Global Bioinformatics Education Summit @bioinfoedsummit]

We start our second day at @bioinfoedsummit with discussions about the progress and current gaps to broaden current competency frameworks for biomedical data scientists around the globe (e.g. Africa)  #health #bioeconomy #workforce #biomedical #research #DataScientists

[Global Bioinformatics Education Summit @bioinfoedsummit]

We are excited to begin the @bioinfoedsummit
in New York. In the upcoming days, in-person and virtual attendees will work together to look for solutions to address the current challenges of promoting bioinformatics education worldwide. Stay tuned! #bioinformatics #education
