🧬Motifs are the new BLAST Folddisco scans 53M AlphaFold structures for catalytic, binding or allosteric patterns in seconds🔎 18× quicker, 3.5× smaller, hits in seconds🌌

Two new sequencing efforts shed light on Latin American genetic variation. Congrats to @hunemeier_t, @LygiaVPereira and their Brazilian team, and the #GenomeAsia100K team from @NTUsg. Science journalist @rpocisv wrote a nice piece on the DNAdoBrasil paper: science.org/content/articl…

Check out our latest preprint, led by @schen_sc, that brings together an amazing team of scientists from several labs to tackle a fundamental problem in biology: how do cells regulate expression of their tRNAs? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It was great taking part in writing this perspective on the cis-regulatory code with such excellent scientists. @iscb @ISCB_RegSys has provided us an outstanding platform to share and discuss these topics over the years. Let's keep up the great work in this fantastic community.

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 @NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov

🧵 Bioinformatics faces a critical challenge: despite its importance, software quality often falls short due to the lack of proper development practices. In our latest paper, we advocate for improving software quality in bioinformatics through teamwork. doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…

Congratulations to @IevaRau for an outstanding PhD defense today! Such fantastic work covered during the last 4 years with driving the last 2 releases of JASPAR @jaspar_db and the development of COBIND to predict TF co-binding. I'm a very proud PI. @NCMMnews @biovitenskap

🎉 Excited to share the peer-reviewed version of our manuscript describing COBIND, a tool for revealing TF co-binding patterns using non-negative matrix factorization. Great work led by @IevaRau @NCMMnews @NordicEMBL @UniOslo_MED @UniOslo academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… @NAR_Open

We are very happy to announce that a dual new release of intOGen (intogen.org) and boostDM (intogen.org/boostdm/) is out today! 🎉 Here is a thread summarizing the main updates:👇

How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by @gracecbower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Les compartimos este artículo de nuestro investigador, el Dr. @DavidRomeroC60 ,sobre un nuevo organelo celular cuya función es la de fijar nitrógeno: el nitroblasto. "Nitroplastos y diazoplastos, los nuevos organelos que surgieron de las aguas". acmor.org/publicaciones/…

You have perturbed TFs (for example disease vs healthy) and genome-wide H3K27ac data, what TF activity tools would infer the perturbed TFs that are more likely to be validated? According to our results, the top 3 tools: RcisTarget, MEIRLOP and monaLisa biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

(1/14) Excited to share our new work on ZNF143/ZFP143 by @DomenicNarducci ZNF143 has been widely reported to be a general loop factor Instead we and @deWitLab in a companion preprint show that ZNF143 is a TF with no loop function: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join the IBIS Challenge: an open competition focused on the computational prediction of transcription factor binding motifs. IBIS aims to advance state-of-the-art methods for Inferring Binding Specificities of human transcription factors from diverse experimental data. (1/12)

Great PhD defense from Rafael today! I'm a proud PI! And thanks to the committee members @CarlMHerrmann @a_bardet for a fantastic discussion and @eviledv for the committee coordination. Congratulations Dr Riudavets Puig 🎉🎉

📣A second edition of our Introduction to #DataScience is on its way, now split into two books. After teaching the course this semester, we've made significant improvements. Current drafts are online: 📘Intro: rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/dsbook-part-1/ 📙Advanced: rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/dsbook-part-2/ #rstats

Excited to share our latest findings on Oxygen Minimum Zones. Our study in Devil’s Hole, Bermuda, sheds light on the microbial response to reoxygenation in suboxic waters. #MicrobialEcology @BIOSstation

@IsaacLopezMoyad @areyesq I would like to join, do you have an extra one ?

@areyesq Do you need an invite code for azul cielo? Some people have migrated over there (I still check this app more than the other one though)

Xmas present for UCSC users, an R package to easily build Track Hubs. github.com/Novartis/easyT… ps. is there any scientist left in this social network? where is everyone now?
