Excellent summary on #LongCovid regarding symptoms, impact, and what we know about root causes economist.com/science-and-te… @TheEconomist

Der erste geloste Klima-Bürgerrat ist gestern gestartet. Ein spannendes und wichtiges Projekt: Hier wird Klimapolitik in ausgewogener Runde und frei von einseitigen Lobbyeinflüssen diskutiert. Wir sind gespannt auf die Ergebnisse! @BuergerratKlima tagesschau.de/inland/gesells…

So true.. 😆

Bioinformatic pipelines

Imputation of coding VNTRs into UK Biobank & subsequent multi-trait GWAS Many eye-catching results in here. Large effects from highly polymorphic exonic repeat expansions 🤯 Yet another outstanding synthesis of stat gen & human bio by @s_mccarroll and Po-Ru Loh. So impressive!

This may be our most important announcement of the year: @maxplanckpress has finally announced the increase of the base salary of the support contract to 65% for all new&existing contracts! Check your emails for info from the OHB...now let's celebrate this huge success!🥳

@maxplanckphdnet @maxplanckpress Awesome! I think there is a typo in the bit.ly link, though. Should be bit.ly/PhDnetGM2020.

Our SV caller SVIM-asm for the calling and genotyping of large variants from haploid and diploid genome assemblies is now available as a preprint.

A problem We are currently making Earth look like Mars faster than we are making Mars look like Earth

Noch 5⃣ Minuten bis zum #NetzStreikFürsKlima! Während die fossilen Industrien in den letzten Tagen schon fleißig ihre Forderungen erhoben haben, halten wir heute dagegen. Wir sagen #FightEveryCrisis – das heißt: Keine Steuermilliarden an fossile Konzerne! youtube.com/watch?v=9EUVRP…

Für den #NetzstreikFürsKlima werden in diesen Minuten nicht nur in Berlin die tausenden Schilder aufgestellt, die in den letzten Tagen virenfrei eingesammelt wurden. Wir freuen uns auf eure Bilder aus der ganzen Welt! #FightEveryCrisis

The debate and confusion about masks for #COVID19 just got some real and important data from a rigorous randomized trial in patients with coronavirus (and influenza). They work. nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatureMedicine

A sobering summary of the recent Imperial College report analyzing various COVID-19 scenarios.

"HiCanu: accurate assembly of segmental duplications, satellites, and allelic variants from high-fidelity long reads" inc. draft assemblies of 9(!) human centromeres, with @sergeynurk @sergekoren @ArangRhie @mrvollger @glennis_logsdon @khmiga biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great article. "Countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China). Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5%" Taking decisive action early is important: it can reduce the fatality rate 10X.

Hickey, @compbiod, @JMonlong, @benedictpaten and co show how population variation graphs can be used to genotype structural variants. The method is based on vg. Graph-based methods are shown to be better than linear ones on a variety of datasets genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Friday is the next #GlobalClimateStrike with @UNClimateSummit upsoming next week! You can find information about marches in your area here: fridaysforfuture.org/statistics/map There will be a lot of Scientists and Students, so join the crowd! @sciforfuture @Fridays4future #NeustartKlima

This is pretty neat. Type any software or data web site URL into @citeas_org and it will figure out a good formatted citation for it. HT @yoyehudi. citeas.org
