GitHub - jonasscheid/claude-nfcore-plugin Contribute to jonasscheid/claude-nfcore-plugin development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you use #claudeai and develop #nf-core, this is a good set of skills that will save you time: github.com/jonasscheid/... Thanks Jonas Scheid.

Iceberg diagram illustrating hidden complexities in biobank data: visible raw data above the waterline, and three categories of hidden challenges below: batch effects, population stratification, and inaccurate phenotype data.

πŸ§¬πŸ’» Before you touch any code in a biobank analysis, you need to answer two questions: what's your research question, and who's your audience?

My new blog series on the BWIB blog starts there.

We solved multi-collaborator genomics data sharing by composing existing tools (IGV), automating format conversion, and deploying via GitHub Actions + AWS (S3 and CloudFront). And minimal authentication with lambda.

Bringing IGV webapp to Your Cloud Workspace in Seqera Bringing IGV visualization directly to your cloud workspace eliminates the download-to-view cycle

I built an IGV integration for Seqera Studios with automatic track discovery. Spin up a Studio, point it to your Nextflow or nf-core pipeline output, and IGV launches with all compatible files already loaded.

After 6 months of work, we're finally launching the Health Integrity Project! πŸŽ‰

We built this to fight health misinformation by bridging the gap between scientific research and the public.

@lopantano.bsky.social just presented on unifying community-driven analysis guidelines and templates for data interpretability, showcasing the bcbio-reports project from @hsph.harvard.edu. This infrastructure standardizes multi-omic analysis so researchers can focus on biology. 🧬

Using seqera AI to understand nextflow.log, actually it told me where in the nextflow script was the error and I could see the problem was my samplesheet names. I would say this is even a better usage of AI :) @seqera #chipseq @nextflow.io @nf-co.re #troubleshooting to 2min #bioinformatics
