Our latest paper is out! It describes mutations from >32,000 isolates, mapped on the 3D structures of ESX-1 related proteins: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

Our new pre-print on ESX-1 proteins is out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How much can intensive active case-finding change TB epidemics? We did two rounds of sputum-based TB screening—both an intervention, and a tool for measuring its own impact (intertwined with that of COVID!)—in one community in Kampala, Uganda. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/10)

HTSeq count doesn’t seem to find human cytoplasmic rRNAs in there (ie 18s28s5.8s)?potentially it’s not in the annotation gtf or fasta human genome? HTSseq does find & count mitochondrial 16s and 12s which are also untranslated and not even in the human genome. Anyone have idea?

Hi human genome geeks, question: I would like to have an idea about what the most abundant human gene seqs are in one of my seq libraries. The seq data is derived from serum DNA and RNA and I just need to know which seqs are most prevalent. Any suggestions?

Happy to announce this modelling postdoc opportunity working closely with research partners from Burkina Faso, DRC, @ITMantwerp and @bugwonk. Using genetic data to help improve our understanding of community-level AMR transmission and intervention effects tinyurl.com/4muy4x76

@JJSzymanski Taking notes

מכרה שעובדת כמרצה במוסד אקדמי עם מסלולים נפרדים לא קיבלה קביעות. הרקטור אמר לה בעבר בלי בושה שלא משתלם לו לתת קביעות לנשים ש"לא יכולות" ללמד במסלול של הגברים. אין נפרד אבל שווה (עיתונאים - אין מה לפנות היא לא מסכנת את מה שהשיגה ולא מתראיינת)

@dejongepmi @MarvinTanenbaum I feel the same

Are there any AI options yet where one can insert a poorly written piece of scientific text and which outputs a well (or at least better) written text?

@YvesVandePeer Congrats Esh! Mabruk!

Who among you know anyone works with single-cell RNAseq specifically MALBAC amplification protocols for cDNA or any similar method? We are trying to find similarities with virus seq we do and how to improve our protocols. Asking for our post-doc, who wants to pick their brain..

@JJSzymanski @AharoniLab Congratulations

@con_meehan Hope you feel good

I missed it for 2.5 years but it finally got me with air travel (was negative before the conference) despite wearing a mask through airports etc. My most sincere apologies to anyone at ESM, I hope I didn't infect anyone. Going to go wallow in my isolated guilt now!

@pvanheus @SANBI_SA @ASMicrobiology Great work!

It has been a long time coming but our @SANBI_SA paper on the COMBAT-TB Workbench is finally out in @ASMicrobiology MSphere: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… - the Workbench is a step towards putting routine M. tuberculosis bioinformatics in the hands of people without CLI knowledge 1/.

A reminder that I am looking for a postdoc to start in the next couple of months (or later if really need to). Any experience in bioinformatics is welcome, the focus of the project is then somewhat negotiable once related to M tuberculosis and transmission.
