Grateful to have worked with a brilliant team! Jingyi Zhang – Associate Professor, SCAU Yalin Liu – Professor, SCAU Shujuan, Yiming & Weizhi – Postdocs with @XiaoqiFeng_m , ISTA @MartinjVickers – Senior Scientist, Informatics Platform, JIC @talasjudit – Bioinformatician, QIB

@BioQliu @RoliRoberts @XiaoqiFeng_m This tweet has been living rent free in my head for almost a year!

@RoliRoberts @XiaoqiFeng_m OMG, three years but still unpublish.

Day 3 of #EESPlantDiversity - several fascinating stories from @XiaoqiFeng_m about plant germline epigenetics. My fave - in Marchantia sperm, widespread 5mC is followed by 4mC (!) until most Cs are methylated: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Come join Team Brassica! Our awesome RA is going on maternity leave so we have a temporary vacancy. jic.ac.uk/vacancies/rese…

Happy to share our study on the critical role of the lipopeptide syringomycin in promoting Pseudomonas syringae virulence across land plants. Project led by Kris Grenz and @Khongsam_Chia, @JohnInnesCentre and collaborators @AlexaTyszka & @evojfwalker biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Excitement on Day 3 of The Veldkos|Field food DNA project at @CenGenZA using Quast and Busco on their plant genome assembly under the guidance of @steuernb @MartinjVickers

Grade 11 learners from the Cape Winelands Education district were the first learners ever to sequence a plant genome in South Africa. The JIC Informatics team are now teaching them how to assemble this ONT generated sequence data here at CenGen.

Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind

@rsmck Oh and I do agree with your central point, stability. Mine has been rock solid!

@rsmck Wow 104 days! I've got servers running for that kind of number but never a laptop. I have an M2 Air for work, but it's managed by out IT dept, so it forces updates which often restart my machine. Do you not update as often?

Big thing I've noticed since migration to M1/Apple Silicon ... stability. This is one of my laptops, not a server environment... 9:52 up 104 days, 10:52, 14 users, load averages: 46.52 22.86 16.83

@dgonzales1990 I had this issue as a student at UCL. I kept getting emails like “gone home and left the XYZ machine on, can you turn it off when it’s finished b4 you leave for the weekend”. It freaked me out that if I didn’t forward the emails on, the building would catch fire or something!

@lauriewired I remember in ~2013 being forwarded an email advertising a "supercomputer" - going free to a good home ... it was an SGI Altix 3700 that had something like 80cores 40GB RAM across three racks. While at the time we easily had 2U servers with 32cores and 256GB RAM.

would you rather have 2x NVIDIA 4090s (~$3000) (~1000W) or 1x Cheyenne Super Computer (~$3085) (~1.3MW) nobody else bid on this please i got this

TWO post doc positions available in @SaskiaHogenhout 's lab @JohnInnesCentre - come and join the greatest team jic.ac.uk/vacancies/post… jic.ac.uk/vacancies/post…

1. We're thrilled to announce our paper on the evolution of plant NLR immune receptors has found a home at @ThePlantCell ! doi.org/10.1093/plcell…🎉 This work builds on our original preprint, which you can check out here:

Happy #Friday everyone! If you’re working as a #devops, #sysadmin a #coder, @ResearchSoftEng or the person everyone comes to see to solve their IT issues. There is still time to apply for our team @JohnInnesCentre. Applications close this Sunday jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?va…

Well this is amazing. Very honoured. Huge thanks to @BiochemSoc and all at @JohnInnesCentre who put me forward for this, esp @SaskiaHogenhout

@powerfulweak @sortedfood An American friend of mine introduced me to Peanut butter on toast, topped with cucumber. I have zero idea why it works, but I love it, and it makes me love cucumber more! :-)

@sortedfood Cucumber. I hated it so much for so long and then one day I just didn’t. It’s incredible

Name a food/ingredient that you hated but now love... 😍

#Norwich is great for #Bioinformatics. There are four world class institutions (@JohnInnesCentre @TheQuadram @EarlhamInst @TheSainsburyLab) and a University (@uniofeastanglia) all situated around the @NorwichResearch. Come join our team! jic.ac.uk/vacancies/seni…
