@TJNear What is the "feathered" feature in fig 1a? It's not the part they are interested in. A bryophyte?

How hot is too hot for the human body? Our lab found heat + humidity gets dangerous faster than many people realize https://t.co/h5UmsvpKYo

We've (including @thesteinegger @milot_mirdita ) updated ColabFold to use the latest optimized AlphaFold implementation that reduces compile time from ~4.5mins to ~30 seconds! We've confirmed the results are identical for both monomer and multimer predictions. Try it out! (1/2)

A Review published in @NatureRevMicro explores the diverse functions of CRISPR–Cas systems beyond adaptive immunity and discusses its implications on the development of CRISPR-based genome editing applications. https://t.co/88kxKJcqEv

DNA origami is a great activity to do with your family over the holidays! Who says DNA isn’t festive? My origami here looks unique… just like everyone’s DNA! Find a printable form for this DNA origami and instructions here: https://t.co/UUWfRbhtbi

Our amazing undergrad intern @Christi93986111 is featured in the new @iu_pti video about Jetstream2. There's so much to be excited about! @jetstream_cloud

@Sternarchella But what is it?

[NCGAS Bioinformatics @ncgas]

@tgdoak This includes the hydatidiform mole genome assembly. Far interesting than humans!

Citizen science can contribute HEAPS of quality data. @FrogIDAus is now up to ~440,000 expert-validated frog records in <4yrs. And look at this quality call recording from FrogID - one of many being used in bioacoustics research.

@chrisjorg_1 @tiwarylab @XSEDEscience @NSF Agreed!

Perfect timing for the peer-reviewed pub... we're having our students use Trycycler during a semester-long Microbial Genomics course. Excellent work @rrwick and co!

[Genome Biology @GenomeBiology]

Trycycler. from @rrwick, @DrKatHolt & co, generates a consensus assembly from multiple input assemblies from long read sequencing of bacterial genomes. Errors are generally in a single assembly, so get averaged out. Polishing can improve the assembly more. https://t.co/PAVgNdfu3y

Some of the best resources I came across for intuitively visualizing #NeuralNetworks (how they transform data and classify stuff).
With these resources, Neural Networks will be no longer black boxes for you'll.

@DRBFX @IUBiology @IULuddy @chicaScientific @SC_at_IU @InsideUITS @iu_pti @IU_CEWiT @PacBio Thanks @DRBFX and @PacBio, that's a great idea!

[NCGAS Bioinformatics @ncgas]

Hey @IUBiology and @IULuddy students, NCGAS is teaching a #MicrobialGenomics class w/ @chicaScientific this Fall! We'll cover QC to assembly & all the #bioinformatics tools. It's online, so no trudging across campus
