THREAD 1/ Of all the articles I read this week on #COVID19, this The New York Times ⬇️ really caught my eye. It was an interview w/ Dr. Bruce Aylward, the lead on the World Health Organization (WHO) team that visited China to examine their response. It surprised me for multiple reasons. nytimes.com/2020/03/04/hea…

Reverse regression increases power for detecting trans-eQTLs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Great new paper and web server from my friends Elin Teppa and Diego Javier Zea "COVTree: Coevolution in OVerlapped sequences by Tree analysis server" academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Congrats and great work guys!!! #bioinformatics #computationalbiology

Very excited to share this preprint with the community! Discovered trans-eQTLs in #GTEx with #Tejaas reverse regression and KNN. Fun working with soeding_lab Franco Simonetti and others. #eQTL data from GTEx Portal, #GWAS data from Hae Kyung Im 任慧耕 임혜경 lab. Software: github.com/soedinglab/tej…

SpacePHARER finds phage host pairs based on CRISPR spacers. We find 4 times more phage-host associations than BLASTN did, strictly control for false ones, and are >13x faster. 📃 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 💾 github.com/soedinglab/spa… Available on Conda and Docker Hub.

I am thrilled to share the new EP of my band RBF: Curious about how scientist might sound? Please check us out here: Stream now on Spotify: tinyurl.com/RBF-EP1 Instagram: instagram.com/rbfthemusic/

Super happy to share this project with everyone! Please share and I hope you enjoy it!

Our scientists do not only make great research but also great music! 🎸🎤🎼 Check out the first release by RBF, the PhD/postdoc band at our institute and Uni Göttingen! On twitter: Christopher Thomas Björn Schwalb Franco Simonetti Nadine Übelmesser Ignacio Lobos Matthei Max Planck Society

Tejaas, from Saikat Banerjee, Franco Simonetti, soeding_lab and co, is a method for predicting trans-eQTLs. Rather than regressing expression level on SNP minor allele count, it performs multiple regression of the SNP on all genes jointly. Demonstrated on GTEx data genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Securin inhibits the protease separase and must be removed before anaphase to ensure timely chromosome segregation. Work from my PhD with Suzanne Madgwick out now in Nature Communications reveals how this is achieved in mouse oocytes.

Today with EMBL-EBI, we're launching the #AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, which offers the most complete and accurate picture of the human proteome, doubling humanity’s accumulated knowledge of high-accuracy human protein structures - for free: dpmd.ai/alphafolddb 1/

We will shortly be recruiting a postdoc in human oocyte biology to work in our group @WTcell. Please get in touch if interested. Oocyte experience (esp. mouse) will be an advantage. Please RT.

Hi everyone! Last week I finished writing my book on #dataviz with #JuliaLang! 🎉📙 Here, there is a short interview from Packt Publishing: authors.packtpub.com/interview-with…

Delighted to announce the public open source release of #StableDiffusion! Please see our release post and retweet! stability.ai/blog/stable-di… Proud of everyone involved in releasing this tech that is the first of a series of models to activate the creative potential of humanity

First three generations of Bioinformaticians from Ingeniería UNER, and great friends met again at University College Dublin for the IDPfun and ELIXIR Europe IDP user comm conferences. Cheers Gonzalo Parra Franco Simonetti 🍻
