Excited to share our latest preprint! With a great team led by @natsauerwald and @avithemicrobe: “Decomposition of phenotypic heterogeneity in autism reveals distinct and coherent genetic programs.” Our paper sheds light on structures of heterogeneity in autism, and how underlying genetic factors can contribute to different developmental outcomes and clinical manifestations of the condition. Here’s a short 🧵to explain our approach (1/6)

A new method diagnoses COVID-19 patients with near-perfect accuracy (98.4%!) without waiting for symptoms.

The approach inspects the body's immune response at a molecular level, measuring changes in the mix of mRNA.

@ben_lengerich @probablybots @CSHL This looks very cool, congrats all! Do you have any publications that describe the methods and functions a bit more in-depth?

[Shirley Ho @cosmo_shirley]

@SimonsFdn's @FlatironInst will host the first #MachineLearning X #Science summer school!
It is 8 weeks long with lectures and mentored research.

@DrAverbee @bugsized check the rest of the thread! They need rhyme-able bee facts for a bee poem :)

In a large-scale study of 137 Hi-C samples, we find that TADs vary fairly significantly across cell types, and even across replicates. Check out the preprint for more details and TAD variability analysis!

You may have seen the flyers about #FAB2018 while attending @iscb's #ISMB18/#ISMB2018. If you have opinions about the Future of Algorithms in Biology there's less than 2 weeks to submit your talk proposal to be included in the workshop here at @CMUCompBio! https://t.co/zGJSbeLkWE

@nomad421 To start: here is a good summary of statistics for both gender and racial representation at various levels in STEM education: https://t.co/0xo4ltBoqO
Basically: it varies significantly by field within STEM, but the biggest gender gaps start around the undergrad level

@dermitzakis @markmccarthyoxf @_nanncy21 @wijmenga_cisca @LudeFranke @ceclindgren @tuuliel @GosiaTrynka @Magda_Skipper Are there any travel fellowships available to assist with the costs?

[Genome Biology @GenomeBiology]

Ma, Shao and @ckingsford present SQUID, a method for detecting structural variants in RNA-seq data (hopefully this time with working link) https://t.co/uuL1cbCEdg
