Scientist, still hanging around the UC Davis Genome Center. I guess I currently have 11 protons, because people keep telling me i'm Sodium Fine ;)
Does anyone else feel like they need to take a shower after browsing LinkedIn?

wow! apparently UC Davis doesn't have access to Journal of Proteome research any more . @jyates.bsky.social do you know if this is a permanent thing ?

After all this time , Finally have the evotip loading protocol working on the #Opentrons Flex, so far so good ! @evosep.bsky.social

I try the newest version of DIA-NN, version 2.3 and its new Infini search approach on some Lumos and tismTOF HT datasets. If you're new to DIA-NN this might be a good video to watch. youtu.be/MIMnDw0loCk

If you are in Davis and will be affected by the SNAP benefits cut, go to Central Park at 9 pm on weekdays for the Night Market. It’s run by good people, I’ve checked it out and gotten a couple of things from it myself, and there was plenty of food - they collect surplus food from nearby restaurants.

My curiosity got the best of me and I searched Grokipedia (Musks AI Wikipedia alternative ) for proteomics . My lord 🙄

Want to turbo charge your R skills? The Bioinformatics online R courses here are very good I hear. It will definitely help you know when your AI generated R code is actually stupid registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/events/r_nov...

Need to do some cutting edge Proteomics Differential expression? Maybe give Limpa a try! Guaranteed to rise to the occasion ...despite its name !

Are you going to the International Human Proteomics Organization World Congress? Are you traveling with your (electric?) guitar? Do you have a few free minutes on Monday early afternoon? I have a great idea! Please reach out. Bonus points if you tune down to drop C.

Going through trying my hardest not to delete my old data. Found some ABRF RG data from 2009 and 2011. Doesn't look like we did very good. Wonder if we are any better now?

@lindsaykpino.com talking about the power of using proteomics to measure the regulome of live cells using our platform here at Talus Bio, and how far we have been able to scale this platform up to further cancer drug discovery and more. #regulomesummit

Thanks to everyone that attended our #proteomics Short course last week ! We generated over 150 GB of timsTOF HT data comparing different proteomics sample

We have updated our Slice-PASEF preprint! It's a result of a large collaboration where we highlight its advantages for single cell proteomics. Or any other applications benefiting from sensitivity. For example, major gains for ubiquitinomics:

The article here in, very well discusses the importance of randomisation, power analysis for designing meaningful experiments..there was also a JPR perspective on block randomisation for proteomics experiments..together make a nice primer..

What the heck ? Found this in the lab today. What old instrument could this possibly be for?

I thought this was super interesting. re-analyzed a DIA data file I originally processed with encyclopedia in 2018 with Spectronat 20. Encyclopedia really held up! At least on the protein level. Peptides are more difficult to compare. Surprised me
