@HebaAAttia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉

Excited to share that our review on the #cardiovascular complications associated with #COVID19 is out in @FrontMedicine @AUC #LongCOVID frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Made a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to analyze population structures using PLINK and 10,000 ancestral fingerprinting SNPs from NCBI's GRAF #Population #Genomics #Genetics #Diversity #Ancestry #RStats github.com/ahmedmoustafa/…

Excited to share our preprint reviewing #African efforts to characterize #Parkinson's Disease from #clinical features to #genetic factors, environmental factors, and #patient experience, highlighting actionable gaps #ParkinsonsDisease #Africa medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mind-blowing 🤯 Machine-learning model makes predictions about network biology #MachineLearning #TransferLearning #DeepLearning #Transcriptomics nature.com/articles/d4158…

#Eukaryotes, rooted at #excavates, likely our most ancient relatives, might have emerged from anaerobic #archaea, possibly before the endosymbiotic establishment of #mitochondria. #evolution #phylogenetics #life #endosymbiosis science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Every day, fake pictures are getting more realistic. Here’s how to use your natural instincts to find things that aren’t quite right—and how to keep up with the lightning speed of AI advancement on.natgeo.com/41Wo0Y3

@UNESCO's guidelines for incorporating #ChatGPT in higher education, a good resource iesalc.unesco.org/en/2023/04/14/… #EdTech #HigherEducation #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Ethics

@BioMickWatson Yes, possibly. We will definitely check. Thanks!

@AhmedMoustafa Very cool. I'm just wondering if there are biological or experimental factors which explain the different groupings. My first thought is: different 16S primers?

Pretty good job reducing batch effect in #microbiome data by ConQuR in a single line of R code 👌🏻 #RStats #Bioinformatics rdcu.be/davav

@BioMickWatson Different studies of the gut microbiome (16S) of depression

@AhmedMoustafa Very interesting! What are the different projects?

Julia, a potential answer for scientific computing, bridging between coding cultures via @MatthijsCox #JuliaLang #Julia #Python #RStats #Science #Bioinformatics #Coding #DataScience #MachineLearning scientificcoder.com/my-target-audi…

NCBI just released the count matrices for thousands of RNA-Seq 🧬 experiments on GEO 🎉 an amazing resource 🤩 #RNASeq #Transcriptomics #Bioinformatics #OpenScience #OpenData ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2023/04/19/hum…

That's an interesting algorithm 😃
