From September 9th to 12th, I had the amazing opportunity of participating in the 22 Brazilian Congress of Bioinformatics. As a biologist, it was incredible to meet many different people from totally different fields that, together, built up an impressive community.

We present the first complete genome sequence of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. passiflorae, providing a valuable resource for understanding pathogenicity, TALE effectors, and host-pathogen interactions. 🔬

Just defended my MBA in Data Science & Analytics and was approved with the maximum grade! Feeling proud and grateful for everyone who supported me on this journey. #DataScience #MBA

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

This article means so much to me. Ever since I began my journey in biology, I’ve dreamed of becoming a geneticist , and this feels like a big step closer to that goal 🥳

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

🚨 Exciting news!
My first peer-reviewed paper as first author is out in BMC Genomics! We present a detailed catalog of genomic variants in Sporisorium scitamineum and explore how hosts with different resistance levels shape the fungal transcriptome! 🧬

Just defended my dissertation! I’m officially a Master in Genetics and Plant Breeding! 🌱🧬 Feeling proud and grateful for this journey. Onward to the next chapter! 😍

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

We cooked up a successful @nanopore whole-genome sequencing 🧬 in our lab today. It’s always marvelous when our hard work pays off.

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

🚨Our latest work is now out on bioRxiv!
We’ve updated the decade-old reference genome of the sugarcane smut fungus, paving the way for our upcoming article on genomics and high-depth fungal transcriptomics! Check it out!

When I began working with bioinformatics, even the most basic tasks seemed daunting. In this new blog series, I aim to empower biologists in the field by sharing how to perform some of the most fundamental bioinformatics operations: https://t.co/l0VWQ8xUCS

[Marcus Stoiber @Stoibs11]

Great work from NIHR extracting incredible biological insights from @nanopore methylation data. So much potential from this analysis! #NanoporeConf

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Simply amazing what you can do with @nanopore 😍

[Rafał Kazimierz @ravwoy]

@nanopore #LondonCalling2025 Haplotypes are differentially methylated - that's obvious information can be now extracted from genomes in one run using @nanopore

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Time passes by, but the feeling still lingers! I’m so proud to have been part of such a beautiful project with the Medicinal Plants Group 🌱, when we published the Medicinal Plants and Phytotherapy book. You can download it for free in Portuguese here: https://t.co/VngiGz93VQ

#TBT to that incredible day at the 69th International Congress of the Brazilian Genetics Society when I got an honorable mention in omics. Can’t believe how far things have come. Just really grateful for everything and excited for what’s ahead 🚀

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Great points to think about 👇🏻

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

What PhD examiners expect from you...

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Anyone who’s worked with Nanopore MinION knows every sequencing run brings both a new challenge and a new lesson 😅 But watching the data come in, in real time? That part never gets old. #Nanopore #Genomics

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Kicking off the week diving into protein 3D structures bound to ligands and chasing their subcellular adventures under the confocal microscope. Molecular mysteries await! 👀🧬

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Throwback to this amazing day last year when I had the honor of giving a seminar at the Agronomic Institute of São Paulo on sugarcane smut genomics. Now, the results are finally coming out in our upcoming article 😍

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two years since I defended my undergraduate thesis with top marks, talking about genomics 🧬. It still feels like a dream coming true 🥹

[Pedro Vilanova, MSc @pfvilanova]

Extremely honored to have my undergraduate thesis approved with max grades! Now, I’m happily a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a teaching degree! 🔬🧬
