Yoav @Y_Gilad kickstarts #BoG2026 at @cshlmeetings by asking us to be open minded and think beyond biology defined by means. To think about the dispersion / variance.

Aoxing @aoxing2 gave a great talk at #BoG2026 (even more considering it was last minute promoted to a talk!) on studying sex chromosome dosage thanks to available biobank data from rare but tolerated sex chromosome trisomies Builds upon doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2025.… @cshlmeetings

Mike @mike_schatz paid tribute to James P. Taylor @jxtx who was one of the main champions of #OpenScience To carry on Mike et al founded @jxtxFoundation & introduced the winners of the scholarship to attend #BoG2026 this year (sponsored by @PacBio this year) 👏🏽 @cshlmeetings

Brian Clearly’s work on « Fundamental errors in #RNAvelocity arising from the omission of cell growth » feels like a must read!! Brian shouted out the co-authors in the second slide 👏🏽 #BoG2026 @cshlmeetings doi.org/10.64898/2025.12.18.…

Megan D. Schertzer from @davidaknowles.’s lab invites us to use « perplexity » from Ecology to measure isoform diversity (or other molecular units). Very thought provoking! 🤔 More at doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.02.6… #BoG2026 @cshlmeetings

New blog post: Initial impressions from testing Posit Connect lcolladotor.github.io/2025/0… I describe our use case and why I think that Posit Connect will be helpful for our @lieberinstitute work moving forward @posit_pbc #RStats #shiny #shinyapps #spatialLIBD #iSEE @LIBDrstats

🆕 improved diagram for how #visiumStitched is able to help #BayesSpace, #PRECAST, & other array-based methods (col/row hex grid) find more neighboring spots when you have overlapping spots from different capture areas. You already generated the 🤩 data, might as well use it!

One 💯 update is how Nick used the overlapping spots to calculate a matching rate in spatial cluster assignments #BayesSpace with HVGs does better, whereas #PRECAST with #nnSVG SVGs does slightly better. Both improve when using #visiumStitched to increase the number of neighbors

I'm thrilled to share with you that #visiumStitched led by Nick Eagles has now been published Our #RStats / @Bioconductor 📦provides a framework for stitching together multiple #Visium @10xgenomics capture areas together doi.org/10.1186/s12864-024-1…
Is your tissue larger than a @10xGenomics Visium capture area? If you need to stitch together the images but also the gene expression data, check our new preprint describing #visiumStitched We also shared example postmortem human brain data (3 samples) doi.org/10.1101/2024.08.08.6…

Today for @LIBDrstats I led a "Live exploration of latest #RStats news on Bluesky" Bluesky intro: starter packs & feeds (aka algorithms) + @hadleywickham's curated feed, @Bioconductor news, and more 👀 youtu.be/hclxkkp-V_I

I made a genomic scientists trained in Mexico 🇲🇽 starter pack. I'd like for our voices to be heard! If you can help spread the word, that'd be great! Thank you! @CDSBMexico @nnb_unam @RBioinformatica @lcgunam @lcgunam @ccg_unam @ibt_unam @LIIGH_UNAM
