Have you struggled with coverage bias in your sequencing data?

During his talk at #nanoporeconf, @weilgunyl will showcase how BOSS-RUNS can mitigate coverage bias within & between microbial communities, leading to improved variant calling. Learn more: https://t.co/rqmFAle63J

Fantastic explainer-thread about our recent paper! Thanks @ewanbirney

[Ewan Birney @ewanbirney]

Really excited that BOSS-RUNS from @weilgunyl
and @Rorymatics in @EBIgoldman and @mattloose labs - with me as an cheerleader/"conceptualization and funding acquisition" author being published on Tuesday. Here is a tweetorial on this https://t.co/N2VJa9utiq

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

Adaptive @nanopore sequencing can help save researchers time and cut down on unnecessary data acquisition.

BOSS-RUNS takes this one step further by adding an element of dynamic learning to the process in real-time 😎

[Lukas Weilguny @weilgunyl]

Many thanks to everyone involved! Esp my supervisor @Nick_Goldman, @Nicola_De_Maio and collabs @mattloose @Rorymatics. And thank you @nanopore for sharing and challenging me to do the lightning explainer :)

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

In this paper published in @NatureBiotech, @weilgunyl, @ewanbirney & @mattloose present: BOSS-RUNS — a new method of targeted sequencing that can dynamically update target decisions during an experiment & without experimenter interactions. Read here: https://t.co/xCe4cP36eW

[Lukas Weilguny @weilgunyl]

Happy to get to chat about our work at #lrua22 Lots of great talks and people, also what a venue!

Hey @EurostarUK, this is indeed exciting!

But when will bikes be allowed again on board? 🚲

Congratulations! You did an incredible job 🎉👩‍🎓🍰👑 Grateful to be here and celebrate with you

[Tania L. Maxwell @taniamaxwell.bsky.social @tania_maxwell7]

I recently defended my Ph.D. in Biogeochemistry & Ecosystems @univbordeaux @INRAE_NA_BDX and Forest Sciences @LavalUniversity @CEF_CFR! 🥳👩‍🎓

A huge thank you to my supervisors, the jury, research teams in Bordeaux & Quebec, and all who helped and supported me along the way!

[mariakalyva @mariakalyva1]

So excited to be running the @CambridgeHalfUK this week fundraising for @CR_UK! I am a 3rd year PhD student with @emblebi and @FitzwilliamColl. Couldn't find a better use of my pandemic time. Every donation is important for me no matter how small so please join me in this effort!

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

Wonder if they have tried a quick reversal of the current?

[Nicola De Maio @Nicola_De_Maio]

We developed a new method (phastSim) to simulate sequence evolution along huge phylogenies, in particular pandemic-scale ones like in SARS-CoV-2 https://t.co/M2WUt4qKER with @EBIgoldman @RussCorbett @BioConorWalker @weilgunyl @yatishturakhia

[Tania L. Maxwell @taniamaxwell.bsky.social @tania_maxwell7]

Excited to be co-leading with @weilgunyl the live workshop 'Efficient and reproducible data analysis in R'. Join us this afternoon! #BES2020

[Tania L. Maxwell @taniamaxwell.bsky.social @tania_maxwell7]

I'm thrilled to have received this award & very grateful for my supervisors (@MunsonAlison, @nicolasfanin, Laurent Augusto), colleagues, family and friends.

Je suis ravie d'avoir reçu ce prix @_Acfas & très reconnaissante envers mes encadrants, collègues, famille et amis.

[Dr Pleuni Pennings #BlackLivesMatter @pleunipennings]

This week I learned about ME/CFS when I sent a 2-line email to my PhD advisor Joachim Hermisson. Me: “Hope you & your family are well. Could you send me your recent NatRevGen paper?” His reply: “Sure, paper attached. We are not well. One of my daughters is very sick.” 1/n

[Conor Walker @BioConorWalker]

Happy to share our preprint describing methods for detecting short template switch mutations using pair hidden Markov models. We show these events are widespread in hominid evolution and share genomic features often associated with structural variants. https://t.co/125cfKrGDy

[Lukas Weilguny @weilgunyl]

This work has come a long way since I was involved in figuring out suitable methodology and pipelines. Fascinating adventure not even knowing quite how many chromosomes were hiding in these beautiful animals. Congrats to everyone involved and thanks for the great time!

[Lukas Weilguny @weilgunyl]

Chromosome-level assemblies of the model org. Nematostella vectensis and the closely related Scolanthus callimorphus. Macrosynteny conservation across metazoans, spatial organisation of Hox & NK clusters, and more! @niji_babulu @TechnauLab @Gibson_Lab https://t.co/35FBGP7s62

[Lukas Weilguny @weilgunyl]

@jhagauer @TechnauLab Congrats!

[Tania L. Maxwell @taniamaxwell.bsky.social @tania_maxwell7]

First first author paper accepted, grateful for a great team with @nicolasfanin! 🥳🌲🌳

We found a synergistic effect of tree diversity on enzymes in the mid-soil, and an increase with irrigation in the topsoil:
