kallisto sped up RNA-seq quantification by 50x. Now another 50x speedup... quantify hundreds of millions of reads in a few seconds.

This seems too good to be true. But it's true!
Incredible accomplishment by @pmelsted.

[Stephen Doyle @stephenrdoyle]

Are you based in South America and work on helminths?

Join me & a great group of instructors on the Helminth Bioinformatics course in Montevideo during 18–24 May!

We'll cover expenses, you just need to come, interact, and learn.

Please share & apply!

Really fun to write this paper on spatial transcriptomics with @SarahBuddenborg . It’s an exciting technique that has a lot of potential in Parasitology for new insights.

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

We welcome the appointment of Academy Fellow Prof @UteRoessner AM as Australian Research Council's new Chief Executive Officer. Prof Roessner was elected a Fellow in 2022. Our profile video below details the unique path that led to her influential role as a biochemist and now in leading the ARC.

The ARC plays a fundamental role in funding basic research, promoting research excellence and supporting our national ambitions.

Nature News piece on the hidden players of the gut microbiome (hint, they're phages, of course)

“Our virome is hugely abundant and incredibly diverse, and we’ve looked at just a tiny percentage,”
