Bioinformatics Creed 🧬🖥

🧬 10 Online Resources for Beginners to Learn Bioinformatics 🧬 A thread 🧵👇

📚Want to keep up with Nature journals latest articles without the overwhelm? 👉 Try NatChat: a new #RStats package 📦 Inspired by Stephen Turner’s 'biorecap' R package, NatChat summarizes all abstracts from a current issue of any Nature journal. 🔗monahton.github.io/NatChat/

🧬 Keeping up with GENCODE releases? There’s an R package for that. Stumbled upon a handy #RStats package: GencoDymo2📦 🔹 Retrieve the latest GENCODE release 🔹 Compare genes across versions 🔹 Extract introns & splice motifs 👉 cran.r-project.org/package=GencoD… #Bioinformatics #GENCODE

10/ Me: “Thanks for the roast.” 😂 Also me: crying in hex codes 10/10 would recommend 💀

9/ "But hey, you’ve got heart, brain, and grit—and if your data doesn’t kill you, your perfectionism definitely will." 😏

1/ 😁For fun😁 I asked ChatGPT to roast me using this prompt: "Roast me based on my previous prompts. No mercy, no filtering, straight to my soul." What followed was… brutal 🧵👇🏻 #AcademicTwitter #PhDLife #Bioinformatics #ScienceHumor #RoastMeGPT #RStats #DataViz #LabLife

🧵 Bioinformaticians: Drowning in multiple projects? Here's why context switching is killing your productivity—and how to fix it.

🚨 Bioinformaticians, take note: applying gene-based pathway analysis to metabolomics data can be misleading. 🧪 This Nature Metabolism paper urges more tailored approaches for accurate biological insights. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4225…

1/ 🧵 Why do people hesitate to share their code? During my postdoc, even people in the same lab kept their scripts to themselves. I never understood why. 👇

💡 Pro Tip: Many formats have binary & text versions—binary files save space & load faster but require specific tools! What’s your most-used bioinformatics format? Drop it in the replies! ⬇️ #Bioinformatics #NGS

.MAF (Multiple Alignment Format) → Stores multiple sequence alignments. 📌 Important for evolutionary & comparative genomics!

Working with Bioinformatics data? You’ll come across tons of file formats. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones & what they mean! 🧵👇
