Genomes, molecular evolution. Often seen wielding camera. she/her. Find me at bsky.

Have long-read data and want to know what you've really sequenced, and how much of it? Reliable taxonomic labels are often scarce if the target is from a less well-explored group. VAE embeddings can tease apart different organisms in read sets:

…and there are widgets to filter, query, and extract sequences for downstream analysis. For code and more examples, see:

For more from @KhalafAmjad1 on microsporidian polyploidy, check out the Meio- and Micro-Eukaryotes session tomorrow at #BG23, 10am BST! https://t.co/NKASd8UoVd Also featuring myxozoans (me), and nematodes (Erna King) @SangerToL

[Amjad Khalaf @KhalafAmjad1]

First preprint of my PhD is out! We survey all publicly available microsporidian datasets on the SRA and show that polyploidy is widespread in Microsporidia! https://t.co/Biy9HTqTaW

Happening today (don't tell the UK Conservative Party...)

[Nate Jue @DrJueFish]

Don’t forget! There a workshop on JEDI and #Genomics tomorrow at #BG23. Free to attend! Got some great presenters and facilitators like @SadyePaez @MahUliano @LuckyLinckia @NtangaMapholi @katrinalearned @rzarcone! See you there at 14h UTC+1 or whatever time that is where you are!

@dgurdasani1 I stopped reading after the odd statement about executive functioning.

@JasonWilliamsNY They might get there by the time the assembly I've been trying to run actually gets scheduled.

@drjulie_b If I get to choose between flowers and tigers, I'm picking the bedding from the kids' section.

[Dr Claudia C. Weber @cc7740]

@drjulie_b Can we tell them they've won a prestigious prize and stick them all in a cellar together?

[Dr Claudia C. Weber @cc7740]

@HZiauddeen Are they conspiring with Big Pollen to sell their product? They certainly got me with my HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner.

[Dr Claudia C. Weber @cc7740]

@i_jayas IMO this will only properly work if the people with the most power in the situation are actually honest *and* accurately recall whose idea something was. I've met people who seemed to think that shouting was an appropriate way to discuss the author contributions section...
