@iskander Interested if you still have some codes left.

[Carolina Tropini, PhD @CTropini]

Very excited to share our latest publication, led by Adel Yavarinasab! We show real time detection of microbiota-produced SCFAs using a microfluidic chemiresistor.

Bioinformatician - https://t.co/Q5mUhSg1z2

[LSI Bioinformatics Facility @LSIbioinfo]

We are hiring!

Looking for a bioinformatician to lead workshops, do some analysis and guide trainees. Note that all staff positions at the university are on renewable yearly contracts but this is expected to be a permanent position

Tatiana Maroilley et al characterized the complex rearrangements in multiple #Celegans balancers. I hope we will find a way to make the data available at @wormbase but in the meantime you can see your favourite balancer in the publication

Another very nice publication by @AngieWildDr from the @ShernazBamji lab about #palmitoylation. This time the group investigated several hundred cell lines using publicly available RNA-seq data and created a user friendly database https://t.co/bB4W6vXMhq

LSI Paper of the Day☀️

A collaboration between @EricJan lab & @LSIbioinfo describes a novel approach to identify virus protein-linked genome (VPg) duplications in RNA viral genomes, and demonstrates duplicated elements are more widespread than previously thought. @sciencedirect

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Scientists discover that a biochemical process called #palmitoylation supports the neuronal plasticity that underlies #learning and memory in mice—providing a resource to further explore the roles of protein palmitoylation in #cognition. @SciSignal https://t.co/TOlU9CnWU9

[LSI Bioinformatics Facility @LSIbioinfo]

Very nice to reconnect with my old collaborator Maja Tarailo-Graovac who graciously invited us to participate to this study of balancer strains in #Celegans led by her post-doc Tatiana Maroilley

@Ko_Mizumo Great! I guess it's time to add another eLife mug to your collection ☕️

@minisciencegirl @acgerstein "Pre-existing condition" (short pause to make sure they want to know which one) "intelligence" 🤔

[LSI Bioinformatics Facility @LSIbioinfo]

Congratulations Reid and good luck with the new job!

[Reid Warsaba @ReidWarsaba]

Excited to share my final paper from the @EricJanLab is now out in Virology! This was a great collaboration with @nsalcedop and @LSIbioinfo. It gives some insights into repeated proteins in +ssRNA viruses. Enjoy! https://t.co/RD7G5SzeT4

@JimJohnsonSci What? None while🚴‍♂️?

[LSI Bioinformatics Facility @LSIbioinfo]

@ubclifesciences @CBR_UBC @OverallLabNews @HlthResearchBC @GenomeBC @DAAD_Germany @UBCmedicine @JimJohnsonSci @KillamTrusts I think "LSI Paper of the Day" is my favourite part of twitter 😍

[Carolina Tropini, PhD @CTropini]

Ever wondered how to detect bacterial short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in real time and without extraction? Check out our latest preprint led by @SBME_UBC Adel Yavarinasab!

LSI Paper of the Day☀️

Dr. Robin Vuilleumier uncovers key molecular mechanisms downstream of #BMPsignaling that regulate maturation of this synapse in a new @NAR_Open study with @vinegarflies, @LSIbioinfo and colleagues. 🪰

Doug had a good month, Robin's latest paper is now out in @NAR_Open. Super careful work as usual 👍

[UBC Life Sciences Institute @ubclifesciences]

Huge congratulations to Dr. Douglas Allan (@vinegarflies) on his appointment as a Full Professor!

[Angie Wild @AngieWildDr]

Bit late on the tweeting, but our latest resource and manuscript are live and published! We utilized open data to curate and explore the expression patterns of the genes that regulate palmitoylation in the brain 🧠 https://t.co/c3nY4R0ujc
