1/Now published @GenomeBiology! Modeling methyl-sensitive transcription factor motifs with an expanded epigenetic alphabet. By @cobyviner @CharlesIshak @njwalker @HS_HuiShi @marcela_sjoberg @roxs88 @David_J_Adams @AnneF_S @decarvalho_lab @HainerLab et al! https://t.co/uMmkQ9D6y4

Bit of a milestone here. Tuatara genome (~5 GBp) is now up on Ensembl. This is a resource developed in partnership with Ngatiwai iwi, with assistance from a large global team of researchers. Lots of insights emerging and the main paper isn’t too far away now.

been out for a few months now, but kudos to my fav. reference manager @zotero for integrating with @googledocs so nicely. See https://t.co/DUQyDsVDS6

@googledocs wondering what happened to your nifty statistics add-on for google sheets? Any alternatives you can suggest?

This is great. And should always be included. But... it really drills home the common approach nowadays: “lets try 100 random structures and pick the only one that improved our metric.”

Great to see @JuliaLanguage evolve to this point - so much pragmatic sense in one language for data science, look forward to what language stability will do for the ecosystem.

Super exciting to be able to use @GoogleCloud @GoogleGenomics for our Biomarker Discovery efforts in Bioinformatics. Especially for all the cool stuff that's happening with #machinelearning in @njwalker 's team.

My command-line bootcamp is used by hundreds of universities and teachers - but it has no funding. My digital ocean account is currently locked.

Looking for someone who benefits from it to sponsor by providing a digital ocean droplet for the backend.

We've launched our HMCP biomarker discovery service offering highly-sensitive & specific detection of #5hmC from a range of sample types & providing valuable information on cell and disease states. Available to select partners as part of an Early Access Program.

Some context to recent fund raises in clinical diagnostic space. Grail on trend, or outlier? From: https://t.co/dNHIfTqx3K
