Alex Sweeten

It's Week 2 of BGA! I hope you're all ready for some more fantastic sessions, the first is @alexsweeten at 3pm Universal Time with ModDotPlot!

Happy to be home in 🇨🇦 for ISMB! Come check out my poster A81 about our methods for annotating satellite DNA 🧬🛰️ #ISMB2024

Sometimes, to figure out how to sequence the genome of an animal, you need to first think like that animal. In a new video from NHGRI, postdoctoral fellow Brandon Pickett becomes an ape for a day to see if it could help him finish the ape genome sequence.

@nature_of_words Thank you :D

I’m such a huge fan of ModDotPlot and StainedGlass. Congratulations!

@mrvollger Big thanks to my advisors @aphillippy and @mike_schatz for their guidance throughout this project, and to @BKille and @niritsch for their advice and editing of the manuscript.

@mrvollger We additionally address issues relating to plotting artifacts and segmentation of intervals, along with some cool analysis of repeats within centromeres.

Happy to share our preprint for ModDotPlot - Rapid and Interactive Visualization of Complex Repeats biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our preprint: Integration of transcriptomics and long-read genomics prioritizes structural variants in rare disease. medrxiv.org/content/10.110….

Congratulations to @niritsch on a fantastic job defending (and finalizing!) his dissertation, "Enriching Block-based End-user Programming with Visual Features." I think can I speak for @reid_holmes and @davidcshepherd and say we're all proud of what you've done!

Super honoured! Glad to see everyone stoked on dot plots. Thanks @RECOMBconf for a wonderful time in Istanbul!

Also showcasing Mod.Plot today at Poster 153 @RECOMBconf

@SloanEvoLab @RECOMBseq Thanks for the catch! Some of the x axis scaling was incorrect for certain sequence sizes. Latest version should fix this :)

@alexsweeten @RECOMBseq Very nice tool! For the static image generation, I am seeing some strange labeling of nucleotide position. For example this Chr should be ~100 Mb. Any thoughts? Happy to provide run details if that would be helpful.

I'll be presenting Mod.Plot, a fast and fully interactive dot plot viewer, today at the @RECOMBseq poster session! github.com/marbl/ModDotPl…

@PratapNoor Well done man! Congrats

This was unexpected, with so many cool talks out there. It is an honor.

@IamSomnya @RECOMBseq Thanks! Yes fasta is currently the only supported input type!
