The more papers I read for a review article I'm writing about ML pitfalls in genomics, the more my faith is shaken in the results from papers that apply machine learning to methylation arrays. A salty thread. 1/

Beirut was devastated by a massive explosion in Lebanon’s largest port, killing at least 135 people and displacing over 300,000. We @nytimes examined videos, photos and satellite imagery to understand what happened. THREAD

We are excited to announce our preprint on functional immune mapping with deep-learning enabled #phenomics. Read the preprint online at https://t.co/gC015Gh4VI and download the open-source datasets of another 200,000 6-channel images at https://t.co/xQz5M08wOa.

So much data released by the @RecursionPharma team today, I'll need 2-3 #tweetorial threads to do it justice...

Preprint: https://t.co/p1H7O7XAFP

Data releases: https://t.co/Z7AgdRCvDx, https://t.co/Ga3umMJGd0

Data exploration server: https://t.co/MFMeW7YLtV

More to come!

Do you like comparative genomics, genomic rearrangements, transcriptomics, recombination experiments, segregation distorters, or two-locus population genetics?

What about a paper with all of the above?

Then you will love our new article in GENETICS https://t.co/yL0c3tOU3V

@ThienVu91 @BogeyEL @ThienVu91 we will really need to go to Maine to see him, they have lobster rolls there

[Jacob Cooper @flythecooper]

@ThienVu91 ♥️ .... but really, it was a lot of trial and error. The cookbook analogy in that thread is quite apt, developers often forget that they know to just "do this other thing first" and so they don't write it down. I'm certainly guilty of this

[Jacob Cooper @flythecooper]

This was 100% me when I was learning this stuff! These things are very hard to learn, and when you learn them steps can become implicit so quickly. Great reminder that good documentation is sometimes the most valuable part of a repo.

I am going to see if I can install #sherloq made available by GuidoBartoli here: https://t.co/HMnxJzywMW
It is a Forensic Image Analysis tool. Sort of what I do by eye, but then by a computer.
See if I can get it to work.

We're out of office for our summer break until next week. Twice a year, the entire company takes a week off so we can all relax, unwind and focus on our passions outside of the office. If this sounds like the type of place you’d like to work, check out: https://t.co/pmQW7GgKwx.

Most people I talk to don't know anyone directly affected by the disease and are suspicious of reports being overblown.

My spouse, a clinician *not in a covid unit*, sees covid deaths every week. Folks don't think I'm lying but are shocked

[Mayor Erin Mendenhall @slcmayor]

Masks are estimated to be 75% to 82% effective at preventing the spread of COVID. Requiring they be worn in public statewide could help us turn the tide and save lives, @GovHerbert

[James Howard @DrJHoward]

I've created a monster. I've re-trained @OpenAI's GPT2 transformer neural network on the Pubmed/MEDLINE database, so that if I give it an article's title, it spits out a abstract for me. I didn't teach it how to structure an abstract, how long it is, or any of the lingo.

I am excited that our paper describing buttons that pair chromosomes to facilitate interchromosomal gene regulation in flies is out at Dev Cell!
Characterization of Button Loci that Promote Homologous Chromosome Pairing and Cell-Type-Specific… https://t.co/mQxhv9D3rc

@tomsasani Congratulations, @tomsasani - you nailed it!

The amount of rancid milk I can drink without throwing up is arguably just as objective and perhaps a better predictor of grad school performance.

I found out today that my American Cancer Society fellowship will be funded! I'm so honored and excited to have been chosen!

This is my first successful grant application after a decade in science. Somedays felt like it was never going to happen, so glad it finally paid off.

Have you ever wanted to make really, really questionable food from recipes generated by a still-learning AI? No? Well I made this anyways. #Cooking #AI #MachineLearning #recipes #GPT2

[Rafael Irizarry @rafalab]

Dear everybody,

If you have to choose one nice thing to do for the computer geek helping you, don't use spaces in your filenames.

Instead of "My Document", use "my-document", "my_document" or "myDocument"

Spaces indicate the end of the filename in some of the tools we use.

@MikeDShapiro @TheRogLab @leonardchris Thanks, I was looking for the footage
