The scikit-bio team has modernized and significantly accelerated the MMvec (Microbe-Metabolite Vectors) method for multiomics co-occurrence and embedding, originally developed by @jamietmorton et al. Now 100x faster and no GPU required. scikit.bio/docs/dev/generate… #Bioinformatics

📣 Excited to share that the preprint of our research paper is now available on bioRxiv Very grateful to @zhuqiyun and @jamietmorton for their mentorship throughout the last 1.5 years on this project, and to my collaborators @_paarthb and Valentyn Bezshapkin, without whom this work would not have come this far
Introducing TM-Vec 2 and 2s -- protein language models for fast, accurate remote homology detection. Predict structural similarity from sequence alone. Major speedup, high accuracy, runs on regular hardware. Suited for proteome-scale datasets. #DeepLearning #bioinformatics

Preprint on "BWT construction and search at the terabase scale". We can compress 100 human genomes to 11GB in 21 hours, find SMEMs with it, do affine-gap alignment and retrieve similar local haplotypes. 7.3Tb commonly sequenced bacterial genomes ⇒ 30GB arxiv.org/abs/2409.00613

Feel free to check out our protein language models tutorials and learn how to annotate protein functions where protein structure prediction struggles
Thrilled to have organized an amazing @scikitbio tutorial at #ISMB2024! Thanks to @jamietmorton, Matt, @valentynbez, @hsecairam, and all who attended and engaged! Tutorial materials are available at: twtr.to/eErkG. Let's push the boundaries of #OpenScience together!

What a hoot. Bayesian reasoning to explain frequentist paradoxes 👀
What's more convincing? p = 0.04 in a sample of 10 or p = 0.04 in a sample of 1,000,000? 🧵
