The microbes in your meal have a story to tell if you're willing to hear what they have to say. Learn more in our @IBMResearch blog about our latest #food #microbiome paper on using metatranscriptomics to understand the food supply chain ibm.com/blogs/research…

Granite 3.0 is our latest update for the IBM foundation models. The 8B and 2B models outperform strong competitors with similar sizes. The 1B and 3B MoE use only 400M and 800M active parameters to target the on-device use cases. Our technical report provides all the details you need to train a state-of-the-art 8B model from scratch! github.com/ibm-granite/gr…

So excited for our latest pre-print to be live on @biorxivpreprint! Analysis of 200K genomes for novel virulence factors and an #ML use case in clinical Klebsiella with our collaborators at @CDCgov #bigdata #ai #pathogen #PublicHealth @IBMResearch

@golden1cu When will this be restored?

Often >100-fold compression ratio. Instant access to any subsequences in an archive. One of the most impressive tools I have used recently. This is how pangenome data will be stored in future.

As a lifelong scholar, @dr_kozik was encouraged to pursue her curiosity and questions about biology. She took that creative passion to the highest ranks of research and co-founded @BlackInMicro. Please join us this Friday by zoom for her seminar to the @PSUmBiome community.

@that_bald_prof Therapy. Pockets of “me” time. Crying sometimes help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You may have seen MetaPhlAn 4 was released this week! We have also released HUMAnN 3.5, which provides compatibility between MetaPhlAn 4 taxonomic profiling system and the existing bioBakery 3 infrastructure. Read the release notes here: forum.biobakery.org/t/announcing-h…

See you all at ISMB next week! 😂

A big kudos to the #ISMB2022 organizers for having an interpreter for this evening’s keynote session. #inclusivity #accessibility #DataScience @iscb

@Erika__Ganda @ganda_lab @emilybean017 @aninhavet72 @JMLection @huckinstitutes @AgSciResearch @agsciences Ooh Brazilian food! Yummy!

@theladybeck @ganda_lab @emilybean017 @aninhavet72 @JMLection @huckinstitutes @AgSciResearch @agsciences He got introduced to the group, and Brazilian food last night!

Huge day for the @ganda_lab! We are attending our first in person conference as a group. @emilybean017 , @aninhavet72 and Sophia Kenney are presenting their research, and @JMLection and I are cheerleaders. Come check their posters out! @huckinstitutes @AgSciResearch @agsciences

Great job @nanopore for putting this amazing panel of #womeninscience at #ASMicrobe discussing the application of #NGS for pathogen surveillance

i simply would have made this announcement from any other room, wearing any other outfit

I can attest that @DanielleGLemay is an excellent person to study under. She is a brilliant scientist, very thorough, ethical, and an excellent mentor. Now with an open position.

WOW. Bloomberg finally opensourced memray—a new versatile memory profile for Python. Can't way to use it. Thread 👇
