🧬 Excited to share our latest work, MUSET 🌭, a new tool for creating abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data. It was published yesterday in Oxford Bioinformatics if you want to have a look👀 :

Still looking for our perfect doctoral candidate as part of @evomg-dn.bsky.social - come and join us to work on the evolutionary pressures that shape gene expression and disease in the uterus!

Please RT (or is it RB? not sure how our lingo has changed!)

Imagination is resistance, @ruha9.bsky.social reminds us that, " we need to reject the gospel that says technology is inevitable, that the train has left the station... In an error of automated bullshit, it’s time to become bullshit detectors,"

What is the most exciting bioinformatic research you’ve recently come across? I am interested in people who try to democratize knowledge, helping others and who aren't obsessed with publishing papers and satisfying their own curiosity. I want to find research that matters 👏

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Sometimes you meet absolutely incredible bioinfo-magicians.
It was a huge privilege when @shenwei356.bsky.social
joined our group for a year on an @embl.org sabbatical.
While here, he developed a new way of aligning to
millions of bacteria, called LexicMap 1/n

Efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes with LexicMap - Nature Biotechnology
LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Curious about how antibodies can target Plasmodium sporozoites?

Very happy to see this review out, it means a lot to me to finish my PhD research topic with a nice overview of what is known about how anti-CSP Abs neutralize the parasite in the mammalian host.

Que orgullo haber dedicado más de treinta años a construir la educación pública en Colombia. Aun en el capitalismo se puede ser coherente, se puede tener principios, se puede trabajar por lo colectivo. Se puede hacer y se debe hacer. Un honor ser hija tuya @freddyduitama.bsky.social

Is perhaps this the only way Western scientists will begin to worry about the humiliating way in which migration laws have been imposed on people from the global south for years and years? This type of treatment is everyday life for many migrants around the world.

science has never been devoid of politics
Elon Musk should be thrown out of the Royal Society, writes @rossandersen.bsky.social. Science has to be able to defend itself.
Politics Has Come for Science
Will science return the favor?
