Excited to share our latest work, UltraSEQ, a novel clinical metagenomics platform that is powered by biology and data science! #Bioinformatics #publication #Battelle

@bielleogy I developed some of these kind of hybrid amplicon protocols back in grad school. For example, you can target V1 as your R1 and V4 as your R2. Read’s won’t overlap, but you can separately analyze them. Otherwise, if you can afford it, long read would be better

@dr_alphalyrae You could always blame the person who’s idea it was to deploy that AI tool :)

A lot has changed, and unfortunately not for the best… #MyTwitterAnniversary

Been out of the #conference circuits since the pandemic, what are some of your favorite events to attend in the #microbiome #Genomics #Bioinformatics Health/Biomedical #DataScience fields? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

@emily_wissel Congratulations Dr Wissel! 🎉🎈🎊

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@nsegata Congratulations! Planning to try it out soon!

Good, but still not enough. I quit my postdoc at NASA JPL after my 1st year contract ended because I found the $60k salary far below cost of living in Pasadena, Ca. Especially since we we’re starting a family. #postdoc #phdchat

@thekatestewart @AcademicChatter 1. Negotiated a higher salary (programs only set a minimum stipend, not max)
2. Lived in a cheap midwestern city
3. Side jobs (photography, online opps)

Privileges: no student loans, partner also had a similarly paying job

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@AstrobioMike Curious what database or pipeline you are using for such less studied locations?

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@bioinformer Enjoy the food, one of the best in the world.

@dgkeyes Whenever I have worked with highly sensitive data, usually its at an institution that has its own enterprise GitHub that’s not open to public. Depending on the institutional data policy and security classification of data, private repos can be used.

Our recent work on classifying hazardous biological sequences using a function-based fingerprinting approach was just published. This approach can also be used to distinguish between closely related pathogenic & nonpathogenic bacteria. https://t.co/tqg1dn5U4p

@dbngsh_mkhrj The power of branding!

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@devashismukerji I have always believed in being part of a system to change it, but starting to doubt that now…

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@dbngsh_mkhrj Oh ya, publishing negative results should be encouraged. But negative result is result too, not expecting “any” result would be a bit worrisome :)

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@dbngsh_mkhrj Docker?

[Chiranjit 'Ran' Mukherjee, PhD @drcmicro]

@devashismukerji Will take you to Bob Evans next time you are here, but please, Cici’s and Golden Coral be ready for getting sick after. Add White Castle to the list, maybe.
