We are excited to present our new solution to type bacterial plasmids: mge-cluster (available in conda!) Dr. Rebecca Gladstone J_Gamma @Orjan_Samuelsen @Paal_Johnsen Val F. Lanza @gerrythill and others from Jukka's lab 😎. Thread below (with gifs!!) 🧵 academic.oup.com/nargab/article…

Phynteny, a synteny-based annotation tool for #phage genes, has been developed by Susie Grigson to assign hypothetical phage proteins to a PHROG category based on gene order conservation. buff.ly/3Y8Tk5o

We're back, baby! I just deposited Cenote-Taker 3 on bioconda. This is a total rewrite of Cenote-Taker 2 and is a tool that allows you to discover and annotate the virome from your laptop, really fast! ⚡️ github.com/mtisza1/Cenote…

Anti-CRISPR proteins block CRISPR-Cas systems from working. Phages use these anti-CRISPR proteins to overcome bacterial defenses. This study predicted structures for 300,000 proteins using AlphaFold2, and found an anti-CRISPR protein against Cas12a. nature.com/articles/s4146…

A new study describing a microscopic, algalike fossil dating back more than 1.6 billion years supports the idea that one of the hallmarks of the complex life we see around us—multicellularity— is much older than previously thought. scim.ag/5EC News from Science

Four largely ignored coronaviruses circulate in humans without causing great harm and may portend the future for #SARSCoV2. Learn more in this News from Science feature: scim.ag/5Hc

Protein annotators! There's a new #bioinformatics package called "nail", which bridges the speed of #MMseqs2 with a sensitivity of pHMMs via sparse Forward/Backward heuristic. 🚀 Way faster than #HMMER3. Written in #Rust. github.com/TravisWheelerL…

Some nice little updates for Cenote-Taker 3 in the newest release. Now on Bioconda. github.com/mtisza1/Cenote…

Bueno doy 24 horas más para que participen. Salen 15 skins 5 remeras Sigan a LEVIATAN a LEV Charly y a mí y ya que estamos rt a esto. Y los que me manden fotos con algún dibujo de lev, si ganan les mando stickers de regalo. Los amo

How to research: 1) Start reading paper 2) Open up new tab for each interesting reference 3) Save all new papers in "to be read" folder 4) Never close tabs 5) Never read papers

No me lo puedo creer, al final si tenia una explicación logica

¿Qué hace Elon Musk en este video? ¿Es un saludo nazi? ¿Es un superhéroe de Marvel que nos va a llevar a las estrellas? No tengo ni idea. Lo que seguro que NO está haciendo es el SALUDO ROMANO. Porque el saludo romano NO EXISTE 👇🧵
