@mason_lab @coregenomics @CatharineAquino @nanopore @mitenjain We have been excited to implement the latest @nanopore models released at the Boston Community Meeting in @mason_lab. These are true multi-modification callers for inosine, m5C, m6A, and pseudouridine. The accuracy metrics are attached below. @Stoibs11

Congratulations to Michael Goneos for delivering an excellent prize-winning talk: "Pilot discovery of allele-specific RNA modifications."

Thank you D.C. for a great time at ISMB 2026!

This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) https://t.co/qYzIsbr0TH

[Dr. Shawna Pandya @shawnapandya]

Our work from the @Axiom_Space Ax-2 missions has been published! Thank you to Dr. Bader Shirah for leading this monumental effort, our partners across academia & the team at @IIAS_NLC for making this happen. Truly a good year for space-based neuroscience research. 🧠🚀👩🏽‍⚕️🏥🌠

(1) Finally out, after one of the most painful and long reviews (with nitpicky reviews, see my last comment) is a method that I am extremely proud of and excited about. One of the best in my career: https://t.co/H31ZezbA1J

🎮 Multiplayer IGV, anyone?

Here's a sneak peek of a prototype I built to enable scientists to collaborate on a shared IGV.js view. It uses WebSockets and Cloudflare Durable Objects to sync state.

Are the ChIP-seq/(sc)ATAC-seq/Hi-C communities jealous of RNA-seq community for fast data processing with Kallisto/Salmon? With joint forces from @haowen_zhang @XShirleyLiu @lh3lh3, we are thrilled to present Chromap for fast chromatin profiling analysis. https://t.co/eFrWcR4Uv3

`ffq` (Fetch FastQ) is a new command line tool that makes it easier to find #sequencing data from the SRA / GEO / ENA. Importantly `ffq` does not download files, just file metadata / download links in #json format

developed by @lioscro and myself.

[Theo Nelson @MakeBrainHappy]

A little feature of the latest #bioinformatics #computationalbiology #compbio video on MakeTheBrainHappy - Scientific Exploration, answering how you can calculate effective length in order to correct for length-based differences in RNA count matrices!

Here we describe what the mean fragment length represents and how to calculate the effective length for an #RNAsequencing experiment. - @MakeBrainHappy https://t.co/uEgEtI7F8I
