Amazing and comprehensive guide to adding, updating and debugging bioinformatics software tools on Bioconda by @jfy133 (expanding on his earlier blogpost) - if you do bioinformatics software dev, it is truly all you need to get started with Bioconda

📢 We're excited to introduce Pathoplexus, a specialized sequence database for human viral pathogens! 🌍 🧬
Launching with 4 viruses, Pathoplexus.org combines modern open-source software with transparent governance to improve global pathogen sequence sharing.

Our 2 bridge RNA papers are finally published in @Nature! Check out the incredible CryoEM structures, they're truly beautiful. A years-long rollercoaster ride, it's hard for me to imagine a more exciting project than this. Thank you to @ntperry13, @pdhsu, and our amazing team!
What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA?
In back-to-back @Nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

First step in a community project to provide a uniformly assembled, annotated and searchable set of bacterial genomes, our preprint on our initial release of 1.9 million genome assemblies+taxonomic estimates. (figure compares with previous 661k dataset)

My thoughts exactly. C gives a way better introduction on how the computer and OS actually work beneath one's own program. Also one will appreciate other languages (e.g. C++) way more after learning how complicated it can be to get stuff done in C.
New paper about a nosocomial outbreak of the rather uncommon species Pandoraea commovens. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29…
P. commovens was first described in 2019 by Peeters et al. in frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

There are no more borders in the European Union.
However, you will always know where the Netherlands begins.

APC fees for almost all life science journals are through the roof in the last few years.
If only the editors of Bioinformatics (@OUPBioinfo), the flagship journal of @iscb, would take a stand against their high APC fees ($3618, even for a 2-page Applications Note)... nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
That in turn is a good Ad for open models! @StableDiffusion @StabilityAI
