This summer, @lukfor.bsky.social and I migrated the Michigan Imputation Server to Nextflow. 2M genomes later, we can say it was a big success.

As a Christmas gift, we’re excited to show you how to set up your own local server in under 10 minutes.

Last November, we migrated the Michigan Imputation Server (imputationserver.sph.umich.edu) to a new software stack, including Nextflow. After some turbulence, we are more and more returning to normal operations, processing around 800.000 full human genomes per month.

Our Nextflow in Genomics workshop kicks off tomorrow!
Excited to dive into imputation with @sebschoenherr.bsky.social and @lukfor.bsky.social

🚀 Ready to kick off our Nextflow in Genomics workshop tomorrow at @i-med.ac.at!
🎉 Together with @lukfor.bsky.social & @silvidm.bsky.social we'll work on improving imputation server workflows.

Big thanks to @nextflow.io, @evanfloden.bsky.social, and @ewels.bsky.social for the support.

If you didn't hear back from me today, it's because I had to solve a 4th grade math test first.

Are you working with one of the genotype imputation servers? Then this is your chance to see new features pretty soon on the server: @lukfor.bsky.social ky.social, @silvidm.bsky.social, and I are hosting our 2nd Nextflow in Genomics Hackathon to boost imputation servers here @i-med.ac.at

Publishing software is often easier than maintaining it - but we’re committed to keeping ours up to date! 🛠️ We've enhanced the documentation for our mtDNA variant calling pipeline, with detailed guides for both graphical and command-line use with Nextflow:

Last week was fun! We had the pleasure of welcoming a MINT high school to our institute to talk about A.I 🤖. We also dived into Genetics (by @stncsn.bsky.social), Medicine, and discussed their project on AI-powered shark detection. 🧬🩺🦈 #STEM #MINT #Education #AI #Genetics @meduniibk.bsky.social

Today @silvidm.bsky.social delivered an impressive talk on her latest research on repetitive regions in the human genome - could they hold the key to the missing heritability? Huge thanks to the Biocenter @meduniibk.bsky.social for hosting this. #ukb #nextflow #lpa #vntrs

A typical shot from my life as a researcher at @meduniibk.bsky.social. Standing in the HPC center with Silvia Di Maio and looking at dark genome regions

🌍 The imputation servers running on our software stack:

🛰️ Our Main Instance: imputationserver.sph.umich.edu
🛰️ TOPMed: imputation.biodatacatalyst.nhlbi.nih.gov
🛰️ MUC: imputationserver.helmholtz-munich.de

💡 Are there other imputation servers flying around?

Check out @lukfor.bsky.social and my latest work to run Nextflow graphically. Cloudgene3 powers major genotype imputation servers (Michigan, TOPMed, Helmholtz Munich—you name it).

It’s like a referee in football—when no one is complaining, you know it’s doing an excellent job! ⚽ 🧬
