Blogpost: How to make interactive PCA plots using python + @BokehPlots. Or How to answer the question- "Which sample is _that_?" hardingnj.github.io/2018/08/… #popgen #bioinformatics

I quit regular Zoom meetings and logged off of Slack as a CEO. It has made all the difference.

Today I discovered python-box, a neat little package to make it much more convenient to implement dot notation access. pypi.org/project/python-box/ (via awesome-python.com/)
This deserves more RTs. Dask has fundamentally changed how we can work with data in python. We regularly compute over 100s of millions of rows on an ordinary workstation- unthinkable ~5 years ago.
Dask was originally developed to scale NumPy and pandas. As Matthew Rocklin says the #Python community quickly became interested in the Dask Engine and used it to build many more specialized tools. bit.ly/3an0Bdn
Very exited about this :). Accurate simultaneous sequencing of genetic and epigenetic bases in DNA biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Awesome! congrats all
🎉😍 tskit 0.5.0 is live on PyPI and conda 😍🎉
This is a major release so it's time for a
new features thread. Thank you to all our contributors for their hard work on this release. 🧵github.com/tskit-dev/tskit/r…
Really? I mean (C) isn't a complex sentence but a simple edit on a super famous quote... though it doesn't appear on haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
Starting using this recently. Very handy for those little classes where you don't know properties/methods. Way better than previous "workflow" of hitting dot-complete all the time.

I share a lot of content that you won't want to miss, most of it original.
Did someone on science twitter make a long thread on sample naming considerations a while ago? maybe @samstudio8 ?

I've added a tour of mosquito collection sites to the Ag1000G phase 3 docs:

Enjoyed making some maps with cartopy and the new ITN coverage model from @MalariaAtlas.
