Italy’s bubble economy well explained

Word frequency analysis suggests that at least 10% of academic papers are written with the help of ChatGPT. The authors of the remaining 90% were smart enough to mask it.

Loved the Tandy Warnow Keynote at #ISMB2024 and how she made understandable complicated concepts about #phylogenomics

Very inspiring talk by Valérie de Crécy-Lagard at the Function Cosi. Predicting protein function is gaining new knowledge, not transferring the known functions. AI is still unable to solve the first problem. #ISMB2024

Rafael Najmanovich opens the 2nd day at #ISMB2024 Function Cosi talking about Fast, high-performance biophysics-based computational methods in function prediction.

Fascinating Gonzalo Parra talk about protein local frustration and the evolution of function and structure at #ISMB2024

Mahta Mehdiabadi nicely presenting the work of BioComputing UP on disordered protein prediction at #ISMB2024

Burkhard Rost introducing with energy and clarity VespaG: fast and accurate protein variant fitness prediction using Language Models. (the G stands for GEMME). VarI-COSI #ISMB2024

Yannis Nevers nicely reporting at #ISMB2024 about OMArk, a software for genome quality assessment -a fundamental issue for downstream analysis.

Alex Bateman discusses fair and unfair uses of generative AI and LLMs in scientific publishing at #ISMB2024. Unmissable if one want to use GTP for assistance.

Thomas Lengauer explains the behind the doors of publishing in Bioinformatics Advances Bioinformatics Advances, the open access journal of the International Society for Computational Biology. #ISMB2024

2024 ISCB Innovator Award recipient, Dr. Sui-In Lee, concludes the #ISMB2024 congress with a powerful message: the researchers' goal is not to publish in prestigious journals, but to push the boundaries of human knowledge.

High-resolution cryoEM structure of UapA, the original member of the NAT transporter. While UapA transports uric acid, other members of this family transport ascorbate. Linus Pauling proposed an evolutionary connection between uric acid and ascorbate (vitamin C)

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals,
