Over the next week or so, the NCGAS team is thinking about #pangenomics: what it means, why you should care, and what #bioinformatics tools to use. Please send us a link to your favorite pan-genome paper! #genomics #metagenomics #evolution #cropbiology #diversityingenomics

Join us next Tuesday for the final talk of our webinar series. We're closing out strong with sexual reproduction and #recombination in Daphnia Registration required: go.iu.edu/3Fne #Bioinformatics #marinebio #crustaceans @InsideUITS IU Biology IU PTI

Really excited to unveil sandbox.bio, an interactive playground for learning bioinformatics command-line tools like bedtools, bowtie2, and samtools (and more to come!) 🧑‍💻 🧬 Thanks to Aaron Quinlan, @BenLangmead, and Michael Schatz for feedback and tutorial ideas.

🐸🧬💻 An awesome opportunity to #savethefrogs using synthetic bio, #HPC, and #bioinformatics

Don't forget to join us tomorrow!

The evolutionary genomics of species’ responses to climate change... A well-timed perspective, given the #IPCC's latest report. nature.com/articles/s4155… NatureEcoEvo

Hey IU Biology and IU Luddy students, NCGAS is teaching a #MicrobialGenomics class w/ Irene Newton this Fall! We'll cover QC to assembly & all the #bioinformatics tools. It's online, so no trudging across campus Z620, Thur 10-noon Supercomputing at IU @InsideUITS IU PTI @IU_CEWiT

Some of the best resources I came across for intuitively visualizing #NeuralNetworks (how they transform data and classify stuff). With these resources, Neural Networks will be no longer black boxes for you'll. A thread 🧵

Perfect timing for the peer-reviewed pub... we're having our students use Trycycler during a semester-long Microbial Genomics course. Excellent work Ryan Wick and co!

Citizen science can contribute HEAPS of quality data. FrogID is now up to ~440,000 expert-validated frog records in <4yrs. And look at this quality call recording from FrogID - one of many being used in bioacoustics research.

We've (including @thesteinegger @milot_mirdita ) updated ColabFold to use the latest optimized AlphaFold implementation that reduces compile time from ~4.5mins to ~30 seconds! We've confirmed the results are identical for both monomer and multimer predictions. Try it out! (1/2)
