A larger than softball sized grapefruit my 13 inexplicably brought home to try, with googly eyes stuck on it, making it seem like it's looking very upset at the two tiny Advil in front of it I placed there for both scale and comedy
Medical science: Ahaha we have invented tens of thousands of life improving and saving medications ahaha we are unstoppable

Back from two weeks of Summer School in #Cargèse, great venue and discussions!
Bringing back many memories and a whole lot of new ideas to try 🧬

De novo once meant no BLAST hit but later sensitive methods revealed that many designs had hits. Now TMscore is used, but it’s easy to game by adding helices or rewiring secondary structures due to its scores length normalization. I wish new functions eg. unknown enzymatic reactions would be de-novo

For many of those who were asking on BLOW5 vs POD5 for nanopore signal data, here is a finally detailed benchmark we did:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Summary: performance of BLOW5 is >= POD5 (from ~= to 100X, see below), with benefit of having ~3 dependencies instead of >50.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Thank you @joshuasweitz.bsky.social for making this visually effective set of plots that puts into perspective the scale of the announced cuts to NIH, NSF and NASA

My father worked in a tire factory in Appalachia. Friends and family in the military. Used to vote Republican. Got into college on a diversity program for the underprivileged. Ended up a Harvard professor. And now my funding is terminated because we're trying to stick it to the elites.
this is very sad and worrisome
🧬 Great talk (and life lessons) by @ardemp.bskyverified.social at IBPS! Crazy how widespread are the medical conditions where Piezo mechanosensitive proteins are implied.
Does anybody in #bioinformatics need a #Rust program to convert Stockholm format into FASTA? I'm using this to split multiple sequence alignments in an STK file into separate FASTA files. github.com/TravisWheele...
Great work by @NSF canceling 402 wasteful DEI grants ($233M in savings), including $1M for “Antiracist Teacher Leadership for Statewide Transformation”. See the NSF update below. Grant awards will be based on merit, competition, equal opportunity, and excellence.
🧪 DOGE is reporting cancelling 402 NSF grants today.
And let's recap: this is for awards that NSF has **ALREADY** judged as aligned with its mission in law, which includes broadening participation in STEM.
It bears repeating: the law supersedes exec orders. For more: www.aaup.org/sites/defaul...
today i battled again with unsupported bioinformatic softwares from 2008 and i lost. anyone has ever compiled rasmol succesfully?

If you're a bioinformatician, you've heard this before.
But here's the truth 👇
doing both is the way to dig your own grave 🥲
