Hey UNITED HEALTHCARE

Sadly expected & deeply disappointing. We face increasing public health threats & intl organizations like the WHO are an important part of improving prevention, response, & resilience. Donald Trump’s transition team seeks to pull US out of WHO ‘on day one’ ft.com/content/e6061e…

NASA FINESST proposals for graduate fellowships are due Feb 05, 2025! This is a great opportunity to get your ideas funded! nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solic…

Horizontal Gene Transfer Inference: Gene presence-absence outperforms gene trees biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

I did a project on making an optimized implementation of the S+ tree. The result is 40x speedup over plain binary search! It builds on Algorithmica's post on S-trees and the famous paper "Array layouts for comparison based searching" by Paul Khuong ([email protected]). 🧵 curiouscoding.nl/posts/static-s…

No only is this being led by some incredible people, but anvio is a super-empowering platform for microbialomics! If this is interesting and doable for you, I promise it would be worth it!

Beautiful sky this morning 👀

Pretty sky tonight too with the moon and Venus snuggling up in this Maryland snow 🌨️

In 2024, the NASA Open Science Data Repository (expansion of NASA GeneLab ) enabled 52 peer-reviewed pubs, pre-prints, & published student theses 🎉 Links & more below ⬇️ (1 of 6)

Thrilled to share our pre-print on 1st Federated Learning model deployed between Earth & International Space Station 🚀 Huge thanks to HPE (SpaceBorne Computer), Intel (OpenFL), & NASA NASA GeneLab NASA Ames Open Science Data Repository. Let’s build & move the ball forward! 🌅 Link below

Despite our intentions to halt active SPAdes development, the new SPAdes 4.1 is here github.com/ablab/spades Improved performance and some important fixes.

Europa Clipper is now about 31,000 miles (about 50,000 km) from Mars and closing fast. Closest approach will take place at 12:57 p.m. EST. You can ride along virtually at eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys…

Thrilled to finally debut my lab site 🎉: mbio.info — which stands for Microbial Bioinformatics, a domain I purchased 9 years ago and has been waiting for this moment ever since!"

Biology’s so cool - P. syringae produces syringafactin, which is deacylated by amoebae - Deacylated syringafactin binds to CraR, triggering amoebicidal pyrofactin synthesis - Cra allows P. syringae to infect Arabidopsis thaliana in the presence of amoebae cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Ok, listen up. Here's your briefing about what we know so far, and what we hope to find out when we get to Jupiter's ocean moon Europa: europa.nasa.gov/why-europa/eur…

I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers, biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵

This is important work for the exciting next stage of metagenomics!
