Hello to all #bioinformatics #rustlang, I often copy code to generate data when writing tests. After 3 or 4 times, I got fed up and created biotest crates. biotest can generate fasta, fastq and vcf, I'm open to any suggestion, feedback or contribution. github.com/natir/biotest

Check out ProCapNet by Kelly Cochran, a robust, local sequence context deep learning model of base-resolution transcription initiation profiles (PRO-cap) that provides deep insights into the cis-regulatory code of initiation & more ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

including the chirality of DNA

We're thrilled to see the global impact of Nextflow in bioinformatics! 🌍 Our Ambassador kubranarci is championing its adoption in Türkiye. The first online workshop with ISCB SC RSG Türkiye was a success, and we’re excited about what is to come! 🇹🇷 #NextflowAmbassador #Bioinformatics

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now our strongest vision model. Sonnet now surpasses Claude 3 Opus across all standard vision benchmarks. Improvements are most noticeable in tasks requiring visual reasoning, like interpreting charts, graphs, or transcribing text from imperfect images.

Great work from Luca Pinello lab on a compact deep learning model that integrates sequence, DNase, H3k27ac (optionally HiC) to predict expression while learning long range effects of enhancers (against CRISPR FlowFISH expts) very well. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yea, compbio folks beware: Anaconda is now trying to get academic users to pay licensing fees. See this Reddit thread too: reddit.com/r/bioinformati…

A little backstory for: "A Bioinformatician, Computer Scientist, and Geneticist lead bioinformatic tool development - which one is better?" doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… #1/9

The nf-core Slack org passed a pretty significant milestone a few hours ago: 🎉 WE JUST HIT 10,000 SLACK USERS! 🎉 What an incredible milestone! Thank you to all of your for being part of this amazing community! 💚

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

✨ Check out the new pixi global in release v0.33.0 🚀 💪 Experience a game-changing leap in fast, declarative, and cross-platform system setup! 📖 More info in the release notes: github.com/prefix-dev/pix…

🧵 Bioinformatics faces a critical challenge: despite its importance, software quality often falls short due to the lack of proper development practices. In our latest paper, we advocate for improving software quality in bioinformatics through teamwork. doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…

This is a gem from Edmund Miller in the Seqera community forum - native MacOS notifications about Nextflow pipelines finishing in your terminal, with only a few lines of code! 📺✨ community.seqera.io/t/native-termi…

For anyone who has struggled with code navigation of the nested nf-core shared modules, rejoice! The new Nextflow #VSCode extension code navigation makes this super fast! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new capability: native Databricks SQL support in Nextflow via the nf-databricks plugin! 🎉 🔗Learn more: hubs.ly/Q03rFFDH0

We released DuckDB 1.0.0 a little over a year ago with a small easter egg. Since then, no one reported finding it, so we're revealing it: the hash of the DuckDB 1.0.0 binary starts with the duck emoji: 0x1f986 = 🦆.

🚀 We’ve teamed up with NVIDIA to help bioinformatics teams scale faster, analyze more efficiently, and simplify cloud operations 🧵 📖 Read now: hubs.la/Q03rQW950

💡 Run custom applications on the same infrastructure as your Nextflow pipelines with Studios Studios already provides pre-built, version-controlled container template images for popular tools. But what if you need an application we don't offer? The solution: add your own.
