In our late night deep dive into the octopus that builds a biological stroller for her kiddos-- we also found this helpful illustration on how argo mamas maintain their position in the water column carting her eggs & body around! I've titled this phenomenon "bobbing for buoyancy" and I'm Obceph'd!!! 📚 Source: The argonaut shell: gas-mediated buoyancy control in a pelagic octopus Julian K. Finn and Mark D.

super happy to share our latest work @niceyeastlab on the evolution of shared alleles across yeast species led by @nicolo_tellini (with Elena, Jonas, @andersbrgstrm) now in @NatureEcoEvo: nature.com/articles/s4155… super merci @AgenceRecherche @FRM_officiel @MaRegionSud

Today, we further exploit the jury and organise a @NiceSeq workshop on domestication across the tree of life, which was super interesting (someone said except for the third talk…). Thanks to @Univ_CotedAzur @ircaninstitute for support

Last couple of days were intense and exciting, yesterday Nic become Dr @nicolo_tellini after a long journey that culminated with a brilliant defence and a fantastic buffet, big thanks to the jury @TatianaGiraud6 @DelphineSicard @andersbrgstrm @edanchin

Dear bioinformaticians, is there a repository for bed files of whole-exome sequencing data (for GRCh37 and GRCh38)? #Genomics #Biology #Bioinformatics

Vorrei vedere dove mettono i condizionatori, questi della NASA.

A very nice summary and digest of the highly stimulating cancer microbiome refutation paper from @StevenSalzberg1

delighted to see the ScRAP out: nature.com/articles/s4158… (very) long project largely founded by @AgenceRecherche #phenovar with @G__Fischer & @jo_schacherer & great interactions with many people, beyond the genome resource produced, new insights on how yeast genomes evolve

Visto che i negazionisti postano ritagli di 60 anni fa de "La Voce di Pizzighettone" per dimostrare che in estate faceva caldo, riporto i miei "ritagli" preferiti degli ultimi 100+ anni che mostrano ben altro. La selezione è arbitraria e incompleta. 🧵 1/n

We have a 2-year postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab! Join our yeast evolution and genomics team @Stockholm_Uni in Sweden @Zoology_SU

This paper is a lot of firsts. It is the first paper of the Evolutionary Genomics Lab, of course with the valuable input and help of Christoforos Nikolaou (@guilderstern), Nikos Vakirls' (@vakirlis) first last-author paper and my first first-author paper. academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

My group is hiring local (Memphis) and contracting worldwide. We focus on pangenomics, chromosome biology, sequence analysis, machine learning (language/transformer and state space models), and data visualization (static, interactive, and art/science/outreach)

@MatNamo I guess it depends on the reference flying crow they take. Distance will be larger if the crow stops for food or deviates for some sightseeing!

Dear all, there is anyone that knows because the distances as the crows flies calculated in Google earth/maps and those calculated by R packages are like 25% off? Like: Nice Marseille is given as ~160 km by Google and 214 by all R packages. But the _driving_ distance is < 200...

@galselo @lorenzotattini But package sf, using st_distance() after st_as_sf(..., crs=4326) -thanks @nicolo_tellini- gives 159... 2/2 Thanks for the insight! :-)

@lorenzotattini @MatNamo The Haversine distance (great circle) is 160.5 km, which is the correct method. Possible errors are wrong earth radius in the package, output units (e.g. nautical miles), wrong lat/lon in the city database.

@galselo @lorenzotattini In fact, the problem is the coordinate reference system. distHaversine() from geosphere use a sphere (214km), but even with distVincentyEllipsoid(), using parameters for the WGS84, result is wrong (213km). 1/2
