Large-scale comparative analyses of Amphibians give insights into their genome structure and adaptability to climate change. Check out the latest work from an international team of scientists including UCD’s own @MeganPower101 @UCDSBES @UCD_Research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

Upgrade from preprint to published in Molecular Ecology Resources!🐸Happy to have played a role in exploring the uniqueness of #amphibian #genomes & preliminary insights into #climate & transposable elements! @cybokat @OdysysLab @UCDSBES @UCD_Research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

new preprint 🧵: In the midst of a week of news coverage about the oceans aproaching the tipping point of becoming too acidic to sustain marine life, we still don't know how most of those species will actually respond to this. #oceanacidification france24.com/en/live-news/2…

Link to preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Thanks to @UKRI_News , @ERC_Research and @UniOfHull for funding this work. #climatechange . Shared first authors are @BeineKaylee and @LFeugere 👏👏👏.

The 10 types of clustering that all data scientists need to know. Let's dive in: 1. K-Means Clustering: This is a centroid-based algorithm, where the goal is to minimize the sum of distances between points and their respective cluster centroid. 2. Hierarchical Clustering: This method creates a tree of clusters. It is subdivided into Agglomerative (bottom-up approach) and Divisive (top-down approach). 3. DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise): This algorithm defines clusters as areas of high density separated by areas of low density. 4. Mean Shift Clustering: It is a centroid-based algorithm, which updates candidates for centroids to be the mean of points within a given region. 5. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM): This method uses a probabilistic model to represent the presence of subpopulations within an overall population without requiring to assign each data point to a cluster. 6. Spectral Clustering: It uses the eigenvalues of a similarity matrix to reduce dimensionality before applying a clustering algorithm, typically K-means. 7. OPTICS (Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure): Similar to DBSCAN, but creates a reachability plot to determine clustering structure. 8. Affinity Propagation: It sends messages between pairs of samples until a set of exemplars and corresponding clusters gradually emerges. 9. BIRCH (Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies): Designed for large datasets, it incrementally and dynamically clusters incoming multi-dimensional metric data points. 10. CURE (Clustering Using Representatives): It identifies clusters by shrinking each cluster to a certain number of representative points rather than the centroid. There you have it- my top 10 types of clustering every data scientist needs to know. The next problem you'll face is how to apply them to data science to business. I'd like to help. I’ve spent 100 hours consolidating my learnings into a free 5-day course, How to Solve Business Problems with Data Science. It comes with: 300+ lines of R and Python code 5 bonus trainings 2 systematic frameworks 1 complete roadmap to avoid mistakes and start solving business problems with data science, TODAY. 👉 Here it is for free: learn.business-science.io/free-solve-bus…

#JobFairy Funded PhD position. Title: Drivers and mechanisms of ecological resilience in freshwater ecosystems

Liam Connell talking about his research on transgenerational plasticity in the marine ragworm to current and future experimental ocean conditions in the A17 session at #sebconference @SEBiology

Amazing talk by @ljconnell92 on multigenerational exposure of future ocean predictions (temperature and pH) to the marine ragworm Hediste diversicolor at #SEBconference #SEB24 under Pi @cybokat, head of @OdysysLab.

Our Transgenerational Plasticity session is starting in the Zenith room, come see lots of exciting talks today at #SEB24

Well done @SarenaBanu from @HullYorkMed and @OdysysLab for presenting her poster on #heatwave effects on multicellularity during development at #SEBconference in Prague

Highlights of the first day!

@YountLabOSU I use Inkscape, illustrator is better, but Inkscape gives you .svg files that you can go back and edit more later

What software is everyone using for generating high res publication figures? We recently made the switch from Powerpoint to Illustrator, but the university is canceling our Adobe subscription and a monthly fee for everyone in the lab isn't gonna work. 🥲😡😩
