The microbes in your meal have a story to tell if you're willing to hear what they have to say. Learn more in our @IBMResearch blog about our latest #food #microbiome paper on using metatranscriptomics to understand the food supply chain https://t.co/2Mcpm0CAKv

Granite 3.0 is our latest update for the IBM foundation models. The 8B and 2B models outperform strong competitors with similar sizes. The 1B and 3B MoE use only 400M and 800M active parameters to target the on-device use cases. Our technical report provides all the details you need to train a state-of-the-art 8B model from scratch!

@golden1cu When will this be restored?

[Heng Li @lh3lh3]

Often >100-fold compression ratio. Instant access to any subsequences in an archive. One of the most impressive tools I have used recently.

This is how pangenome data will be stored in future.

As a lifelong scholar, @dr_kozik was encouraged to pursue her curiosity and questions about biology. She took that creative passion to the highest ranks of research and co-founded @BlackInMicro. Please join us this Friday by zoom for her seminar to the @PSUmBiome community.

I can attest that @DanielleGLemay is an excellent person to study under. She is a brilliant scientist, very thorough, ethical, and an excellent mentor. Now with an open position.

[Danielle Lemay @DanielleGLemay]

This position is open again: Seeking postdoc interested in application of bioinformatics/machine learning in the area of dietary polyphenols and gut microbiome.
