Announcing myloasm, a new long-read (ONT R10/PacBio) metagenome assembler. With @lh3lh3. myloasm-docs.github.io

Hello to all #bioinformatics #rustlang, I often copy code to generate data when writing tests. After 3 or 4 times, I got fed up and created biotest crates. biotest can generate fasta, fastq and vcf, I'm open to any suggestion, feedback or contribution. github.com/natir/biotest

RECRUITING two PhD candidates: on butterfly colour & behaviour, and on flower colour & scent; Please RT

Here's our pre-print describing our GPT-3 based knowledge extraction tool SPIRES: arxiv.org/abs/2304.02711. Great work from @harry_caufield et al! SPIRES allows you to specify a knowledge schema (in @linkml_data) and then populate instances of that schema from unstructured text

Compiled by @VatanHuzeir, the latest cache of internal documents describing Big Oil's concealed knowledge of global warming is a gold mine. One bombshell is a confidential @Shell scenario report from 1989 which imagined two futures: SUSTAINABLE WORLD and GLOBAL MERCANTILISM 🧵

LLaMA is a new *open-source*, high-performance large language model from Meta AI - FAIR. Meta is committed to open research and releases all the models the research community under a GPL v3 license. - Paper: research.facebook.com/publications/l… - Github: github.com/facebookresear…

I'm finally ready to introduce #anywidget - a new #Python library that makes creating and sharing custom @ProjectJupyter Widgets easy. No fiddling with messy build configs, packaging, or bundlers. Just start coding! anywidget.dev/blog/introduci…

Building a knowledge graph for biomedical tasks usually takes months or years. 😰 What if you could do it in weeks or days? 🏃 We created BioCypher (biocypher.org) to make it easier than ever, but still flexible and transparent. 🧵⬇️

It's time we adopted more recent algorithms for FASTQ compression bioinformaticszen.com/post/use-zstd-…

@scrumtuous @microlinux_eu I think people use Github mainly because it has more users. Both are good IMO, but on a related note sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

@microlinux_eu Weird how developers all tend to be so pro-open-source, yet they prefer the proprietary environment of GitHub. I wonder why? 🤔

What's the biggest difference between GitHub and GitLab?

@ThacienN @driscollis Indeed, this is the definition of multiprocessing.cpu_count() 😁

Have you ever needed to know how many CPU cores are on your machine or server? #Python can help with that! Just use the `multiprocessing` library! 🐍🔥

Do you work with Renku datasets ? 🐸💾 Then you may want to use dataset "tags" to export and share stable versions of your data! Learn how to use dataset tags for data versioning on Renku 🏷️ renku.discourse.group/t/dataset-vers…

@yokofakun @marianattestad Softwarecarpentry has a nice Make tutorial :) swcarpentry.github.io/make-novice/

Bioinformatics students and teachers, what command line skills are hard to learn or lack good tutorials?

@cabbagesofdoom I've enjoyed duckdb so far duckdb.org

If I want to build a database that I can query and update from the commandline, is MySQL still the go-to? Or has someone clever made something more convenient? #Bioinformatics #DataScience

Plastic pollution endangers wild and human life more every day. Can we clean this up? What to do with the waste once collected? With the Ellington,@at_lynd, and Zhang labs, we’ve developed an enzyme that can break down PET plastic: FAST PETase. nature.com/articles/s4158… @EnergyUT
