[Martin Fahrenberger @FahrenbergerM]

I m happy to present our latest preprint, and the main work of my PhD-project:
"GTestimate: Improving relative gene expression estimation in scRNA-seq using the Good-Turing estimator"
In this manuscript we introduce a new normalization method for scRNA-seq data.

🤯 The level of sophistication of the XZ attack is very impressive! I tried to make sense of the analysis in a single page (which was quite complicated)!

I hope it helps to make sense of the information out there. Please treat the information "as is" while the analysis progresses! 🧐 #infosec #xz

@andrewsu I intended to convey that I found the atmosphere at the meeting depressing, from the very beginning.

Hope that helps, Andrew!

[Sebastian Burgstaller @sebotic]

@andrewsu Q: But you were still using the sentence that you felt treated very unfairly (discriminated against?).
A: Using the term "very unfairy treatment/discriminated against" was a mistake. Unfortunately, I did it because I had the article of CNV infront of me.

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.

By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI

New open-source language model from Google AI: Flan-T5 🍮

Flan-T5 is instruction-finetuned on 1,800+ language tasks, leading to dramatically improved prompting and multi-step reasoning abilities.

1/ You’ve sequenced your samples and identified variants. Great! 🙌

Now, here's how you can use @ensembl to find out the effect of your variants on #protein structures and interactions. A thread...🧵

I have waited this, for 20 years 🤣. Still, thanks to @nvidia for finally getting this done!

[NVIDIA AI Developer @NVIDIAAIDev]

We are excited to publish the Linux GPU kernel modules as #opensource with dual GPL/MIT license, starting with the R515 driver release.

You can find the source code for these kernel modules in the NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules repo on GitHub. https://t.co/VKmbnkqTEx

Hot off the press: Can we use weak supervision to extract large-scale datasets from social media? Turns out we can do this for tweets with drug mentions! great work by @ramyatekumalla published on the @_LXAI research special issue https://t.co/VMpyqB9ctJ

Die absoluten Zahlen steigen bisher nicht in Österreich. Jedoch verdrängen die Varianten kontinuierlich die herkömmlichen Viren. Das läßt vermuten, daß der bisherige Lockdown zwar funktioniert, aber nicht effektiv genug für Varianten mit erhöhter Infektiösität ist. 6/7
