The wonders of population genetics allow us to reveal the echoes of the tumultuous times our ancestors survived, forever imprinted in our genome. In this thread, I'll share my experience replicating one of my all-time favourite papers by @lh3lh3 and @richard_durbin

How much does your medical history reveal about your future? As a team effort of @MoritzGerstung and @ewanbirney's labs, we present Delphi-2M, a transformer for modelling future health based on past medical history. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Recently visited SF's @exploratorium (an awesome place, highly recommend). The oscillators section mentioned the synchronisation phenomenon in fireflies but used metronomes as a demo. Metronomes are fine, but they don’t glow! Here’s a simulation of 150 fireflies shoved into a box

@ALCrego_ Thank you for the inspiration!

@LomakinAI so beautiful!! thanks for the mention mate!🙏

Stumbled upon some of the @ALCrego_ 's motion art and felt an urgent need to animate a black hole

Introducing *fullRankMatrix*, available on CRAN! @const_ae and I developed this R package to construct full rank design matrices. Esp. relevant for binary matrices that contain linearly dependent columns. Use fullRankMatrix for accurate linear model interpretation! 📊 #rstats

@LukasHeumos @DKFZ If I understand correctly, this is a general trend in Germany, especially for the mandatory internships at the master level. Do you know if @HelmholtzMunich provides compensation?

@LomakinAI @DKFZ This is on @DKFZ to pay their interns.

Research internships have been essential in helping me find my career path. However, most internships in Europe are unpaid, making them inaccessible for many students. If you can, please consider helping a friend of mine to fundraise his internship at @DKFZ

@DKFZ At this point, I am deeply thankful to @emblebi and @embl for offering paid internships. These opportunities are invaluable for many interns to access the amazing science done at these institutes

Exciting news! I'm looking for talented individuals to join my soon-to-be-launched Emmy Noether group supported by @dfg_public and @UniOsnabrueck! Reach out if you're passionate about #cryoEM and #photosynthesis! bit.ly/ChlorophyllPhD bit.ly/ChlorophyllPos… #ScienceJobs

@vitaliikl Practiced polyphasic sleep for 2 months. Felt like the joy of living has entirely disappeared. Wouldn't recommend

Have you tried polyphasic sleep?

Thesis defended and my colleagues awarded me with the fancy hat 🎓 Thank you everyone who've been with me on this journey - you are fantastic scientists and friends! And thank you @MoritzGerstung and @Yates_lab for guiding me through this chapter of my life. It was fun!

@RuxandraTeslo Some examples. But I guess it would depend on the type of the plot and the other colours you want to combine it with

@vitaliikl @artem_shmatko In theory, it should work with anything that @artem_shmatko has trained his fancy diffusion model on

This is certainly eye-opening. Does it work with fluorescent images @LomakinAI @artem_shmatko ?

The field of spatial genomics has faced challenges with diverse data types and a lack of standardised infrastructure for quite some time. Congratulations to the authors for the release of a much-needed solution!

@andre_elias Glad you liked it! Sure, feel free to use them in any form and beware of typos

@EBIgoldman I've spent ~2 months working on this side project, but if I were to condense the effort into full-time work, I guess it would indeed take 3 weeks. That being said, I wouldn't have been able to complete it at the start of my PhD, and my intuition might not be entirely accurate :)

@LomakinAI And how long *did* it take?

@gutasilva82 @lh3lh3 @richard_durbin Glad you liked them. Yes, fill free to use

@LomakinAI @lh3lh3 @richard_durbin Thanks for sharing this nice work. Btw, nice illustrations. I will use them in my popgen lectures

@bricoletc @lh3lh3 @richard_durbin Thanks! Primarily used Illustrator for design, while graphs & populations were created with Matplotlib, then refined in Illustrator. The miniatures inside the chromosomes on the front figure were generated with Midjourney, manually drawing them would've been too time-consuming.

@LomakinAI @lh3lh3 @richard_durbin V. nice! What did you use to make the figures?

@IanDworkin Thank you. Of course, feel free to use them
