Congratulations to Dr. Heather Gibling (aka @hgibling) for an amazing PhD defence today! Thank you @ctitusbrown, @AMosesLab, @reimand and @PughLab for being on the examination committee. Great to work with you and @AwadallaLab on the most challenging parts of the genome

What is the largest publicly available haplotype reference panel? 1000 genomes? I'm looking for a pre-built pbwt index but don't want to go through dbGAP to get the HRC panel

The Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research at the Univ of Toronto is inviting applications for three tenure track assistant professors. These are broad searches in the area of functional genomics (2x) and computational biology 1/2 thedonnellycentre.utoronto.ca/current-opport…

@vellamike @nanopore HMMs 👀

Interested in machine learning for @nanopore data? Sign up for a workshop I'm giving at NCM in New York (5th of December). I will cover DL-based variant calling and HMMs for basecalling. Reply or DM if you have topics you'd like me to teach. #nanporeconf nanoporetech.com/ncm22

@chrisnrg the unwrap() key should be at least as big as the spacebar

A keyboard for #rustlang programmers (@jaredtsimpson thought this would get 100 likes)

@BioMickWatson @roslininstitute @EdinburghUni @DSM congrats Mick!

I have big news! I will be leaving @roslininstitute and @EdinburghUni at the end of September to take up a new position as Principal Data Scientist at @DSM!

Super stoked to be joining MoGen @UofT as an Assistant Professor in Oct '22! I'm founding "The Laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms" to explore the diversity of Earth's RNA entities 🧬🔎🦠🌎! Looking to hire🥰! (Please RT) #RNA #genetics #virology #bioinformatics 1/3

@mitenjain @NUBioE1 @Northeastern @genometechlab @nanopore awesome! congrats Miten

Excited to join and be a part of @NUBioE1 at @Northeastern! Our Genome Technology Laboratory (@genometechlab) will develop experimental and computational methods using @nanopore and other platforms. 1/3

Happy to share our latest work from @timp0 lab, modbamtools: Analysis of single-molecule epigenetic data for long-range profiling, heterogeneity, and clustering 👉manual and tutorial: rrazaghi.github.io/modbamtools/ 👉preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… some of the tools to highlight: 1/

@clopezcorrea @CepheidNews @GenomeCanada @ontariogenomics thanks Catalina! @RamziFattouh and his lab did great work here (and throughout the pandemic!)

A call to industry to make primer sequences available, so that #SARSCoV2 escape mutants can be identified @CepheidNews All data available on the #VirusSeq Data Portal. A good exemple of #CanCOGeN impact! @GenomeCanada @ontariogenomics @jaredtsimpson nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our next big thing! 🎉 "Verkko: telomere-to-telomere assembly of diploid chromosomes" from @MikkoRautiaine3 @sergeynurk @sergekoren generates beautiful graphs and automatically assembles 20/46 human chromosomes from HG002 #T2T without gaps biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in software development for biomedical and imaging data? With @hartjackson we're looking for a developer for an exciting academic/industry collaboration including some world-unique highly multiplexed imaging data Details ➡️ apply.interfolio.com/106773 DMs open!

@BonfieldJames @benbfly posted some mod bams to Zenodo: zenodo.org/record/6448476… (Thanks Ben!) for their study here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… cc: @Jonbroad15

@Hasindu2008 @BonfieldJames @chrisnrg yes it is! good catch, I forgot that in the release notes

@jaredtsimpson @BonfieldJames @chrisnrg Is this the first version including support for SLOW5 files?

nanopolish v0.14.0 released, with support for modification bam files (thanks @BonfieldJames and @chrisnrg) and compiling on M1 macs

Today is the big day! The #T2T consortium is claiming victory and announcing that we have finally uncovered every last bit of the human genome! The papers are out today 🥳🧬 science.org/toc/science/37…

@Amandatron89 version of the motor protein

Hey twitter, what's the "e81" in r104_e81_sup_g5015?

@OwenGoss I’m sorry to hear that Owen
