IWBBIO 2025
Genomics is concerned with the sequencing and analysis of an organism's genome and its impact on biological function and disease. Advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the field, allowing for the generation of vast amounts of genomic data that require bioinformatics solutions for processing, analysis, and interpretation. These technologies not only drive the study of genomics, transcriptomics, gene expression, and systems biology but also play a crucial role in pathogen genomics and genomic epidemiology, enabling the real-time monitoring of infectious diseases and the study of viral and microbial evolution.

New preprint! We worked with @msftresearch.bsky.social and @broadinstitute.org to see whether large language models (LLMs) can be useful to variant scientists in deciding whether genetic variants seen in a patient are responsible for their disease. tl;dr yes they can: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

bsky.app/profile/brod... new release of rix. Every #Rstats user interested in reproducibility should give rix a try. @brodriguesco.bsky.social created this great pkg and I put a lot of work into automatically fetching the remote dep of R GitHub pkg of a similar date. @tommytang.bsky.social
New release of rix on CRAN!
rix generates Nix expressions which are then used by the Nix package manager to build
reproducible #RStats development environments. Many new features in this release:

Key takeaways:
• Gene symbols have aliases, synonyms, and orthologs, adding complexity to gene data integration.
• Use HGNChelper to standardize gene symbols.

CANDI: self-supervised, confidence-aware denoising imputation of genomic data

Some interesting ideas in here about how to have machine learning models output their "confidence" in addition to their prediction.
