NOW: Lake County Sheriff's officials say the Highland Park parade shooter thought about committing another mass shooting in Madison.

A picture worthy of (>) 1,000 #HGTs! Great Cell piece by Yang Li (Alex), Xingxing Shen & collaborators on systematic study of #HGT in 218 #insect genomes, showing that a foreign gene enhances male #courtship in lepidopterans ctt.ac/9fpzb+ Stoked to be part of it!

I truly think LG Barnes’s victory will mean actual democratic control of the US Senate. Like Wisconsin can be the reason that we restore abortion rights & heal our planet. There’s so much to gain but it’s gonna be hard as hell. Donate with me: secure.actblue.com/donate/mandela…

Apparently the shortage of reviewers I've been reading about has been solved, and now there is a shortage in manuscripts to review!

Up first in the “Informatics and Data Science for Natural Products Research” session at SIMB is @danudwary talking about the Joint Genome Institute Secondary Metabolism Collaboratory!

After some tech difficulties, next up is Paco Barona-Gomez telling us about “Evolutionary genome mining for natural products to unveil ‘biosynthetic dark matter’”!

Now is Ming Wang to tell us about the Mass Spectrometry Query Language!

Next up is Julia Maritz from Merck to tell us about “Understanding Human Microbiome Functionality, Immune Interactions, and Biomarker Potential Through Deep Learning”!

Next up is Jie Hu from Corteva Agriscience to tell us about “An Integrated and Information-driven Approach to Natural Products Discovery in Agriculture”!

Any folks at SIMB who aren’t already in a talk — come to Seacliff A to hear my Joint Genome Institute colleague Sylvia Kunakom talk about genome mining for RiPP BGC rSAMs!!

Me, to bench work, after I got the offer for my current job at Joint Genome Institute

🔔GREAT JOB ALERT🔔 Gina’s wonderful mentorship and excitement about science was perhaps THE main thing that made me want to do research as a profession when I was a wee undergrad. I literally wouldn’t be doing what I am today if not for her + the Currie-Lab Ants. HIGHLY recommend!

I’m excited to welcome all of our participants at Joint Genome Institute’s Annual Meeting that kicks off today. It’s going to be a fab few days of exciting science and lively discussions. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone - do say hi! #JGI2022

I will be starting my scientist career in the Boston-area and will be transitioning from my postdoc appointment. The Secondary Metabolites Group at JGI is looking for a talented postdoc. If you love secondary metabolite research, please consider. Please help spread the word!

Poor sleep quality. Ever since switching from conda to mamba, I can no longer use my laptop as a white noise machine and personal heater at night, so every little noise wakes me up and reminds me that I’m too cold.

Interested to compare this with the JBrowse embedded components!

Genomics & bioinformatics folks: Why do ampersands (&) need to be escaped in GFF3 attributes? What is their "reserved meaning" as stated in the specification? Link to the spec: github.com/The-Sequence-O… #Genomics #Bioinformatics

Humbled to have worked at ⁦Joint Genome Institute⁩. Thank you ⁦Nigel Mouncey⁩, ⁦Hiroshi Otani⁩, ⁦⁦@danudwary⁩, and ⁦Drew T. Doering, PhD⁩ for making this publication a reality. This review means a lot to me because it is my first publication as a mom. academic.oup.com/jimb/advance-a…
