@iskander Yeah. You just need a lot more $$$ and (maybe) better quality source of tumor tissue.

[DGIdb @DGI_db]

Help the DGIdb development team understand how we can better promote hypothesis generation and interaction data sets for the biomedical and clinical research community. Take 5 minutes to share how you use DGIdb and what we can improve for your research: https://t.co/uH3JkcCkcw

Excited to announce that we will be delivering a Canadian Bioinformatics Workshop (CBW) covering RNA-seq analysis and general bioinformatics this summer in Toronto. Hosted by Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR). https://t.co/n8y5XDBDN8

[Obi Griffith, PhD @obigriffith]

@malachigriffith Looking forward to it!

[DGIdb @DGI_db]

DGIdb is currently planning new feature sets for our next development cycle! Features under consideration include the expansion of regulatory and pathways datasets, and more avenues for community engagement. Provide your feedback here: https://t.co/uH3JkcCkcw

@iskander @BenjaminGVincen My own advice would be terrible. Like I was going to recommend to try to perfectly mimic the chipper AI voices from Google notebookLM. I think people might be uncomfortable listening to actual human voices at this point.

[Obi Griffith, PhD @obigriffith]

@iskander @BenjaminGVincen I bet Candace and Carrie would have good advice. They did a great job with their cracking the code podcast. https://t.co/BaG1Fr9tX0

I'll be riding virtually this year while supporting my little bud in the big kid race. Please consider supporting us at: https://t.co/56g67cQPKX or https://t.co/eq8FKBETOS

Besides, @malachigriffith clearly has a beard and I don't.

[Obi Griffith, PhD @obigriffith]

Google scholar sent this to both @malachigriffith and I. Come on Google, haven't you ever heard of identical twins who happen to work in the exact same field, co-lead a lab, and co-publish most papers?
