EEI PGR conference was yesterday. I presented this poster describing our phased M. javanica assembly, including synteny and ploidy findings, told through a circos plot. Our preprint is here for those interested: tinyurl.com/mr3hppej @UniOfHull @EEIatHull #nematodes #genomics

The first paper of my PhD has been published in PLOS ONE! This work had some steep learning curves and I’m thrilled that it’s finally finished and out in the world. I’d like to wish a huge thank you to everyone who helped support me through this process. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

ONT finally getting there for highly contiguous, highly accurate genome assembly from a single tech. Gapless assembly of complete human and plant chromosomes using only nanopore sequencing biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What do you prefer? and why is it CLI? 😅

Dug up some bones in the garden and I’ve tried to recreate what sort of animal they might have been from. Looks like some sort of snake most probably.

Very cool talk discussing the need and opportunities for high performance computing in microbial metagenomics by @Mer_Freiheit at the @HULL_HPC_VIPER symposium. Great to see implementation with Snakemake and conda!

Interesting talk about scRNA analysis from Eamon Faulkner at the @HULL_HPC_VIPER symposium. Very clean talk.

The most beautiful place ive ever presented i think 😊 #NBUG10

@AcademicChatter Notion.

What software/tools do you use to take notes?

The only times I find that LLMs are less helpful than forums like StackOverflow and BioStars is when the question or task is very niche or developed more recently than 2021/22. 4/3

It's a streamlined approach tapping into the same knowledge base, but with increased efficiency. One day they'll be able to write perfect code from simple prompts, but imo they're still better than manually browsing StackOverflow in most cases. 3/3

This is misleading. Browsing StackOverflow doesnt always give 100% correct solutions straight away either. You usually find something that is "almost" right, and then adapt it to fit your own work. The LLM approach is similar, but much faster. 1/3

@NemaPlant Any idea what species @NemaPlant? Also, Mi-1 tomato?

This is a nematode resistant-tomato!!
