Biology needs to move faster. Generative AI can transform how bioinformaticians work. 🚀 Launching Nucleus, an open-source project to help bio pros transform, visualize & analyze multi-omics files—right from the terminal. #Bioinformatics #OpenSource #AI

Exciting news! @ucscgenomics has awarded grants of up to $50,000 to six multidisciplinary research projects in the inaugural year of its seed funding program — addressing human disease, species conservation, tool development and more. Read on: bit.ly/4hcDm3i

I'm going to be advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) working on long read pangenome / assembly algorithms in bacteria. Would suit someone with maths/compsci background. Aptitude and interest more important than experience. Advert to follow. Pls RT!

Advertising this amazing tutorial that Rob Lanfear (no longer on this site) put together:
"For phylo nerds interested in concordance and discordance: iqtree.org/doc/recipes/conco…"

To those of you looking for a fantastic advisor with awesome research ideas: look no further. Erik is a rockstar.

Got milk virus genomes? (or any H5N1?) Throw them at usher.bio and see where they land in per-segment trees of tens of thousands of public Influenza A H5N1 sequences!
Our latest work on intron-generating transposons, introners, just posted to biorxiv. We identify the types of TEs that contribute to intron gain, and we show direct evidence that introners horizontally transfer between distantly related eukaryotes. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
This HGT'd introner is a normal TE in a sponge (many copies not associated with introns), and generated a ton of introns in a dinoflagellate.
