For a highly supportive community only giving gentle claps as a send off, there is a fair bit of sass from the lightning talk host @TheEllisPatrick

A delight to talk about the not-as-silly-as-they-sound emoji bioinformatics tools FASTQE and Biomojify at #AGTA24
Education is a pillar of research, and education thrives on engagement.
Contributions and examples of use in the wild always welcome!

A great talk by @ipda42 on developing Hydra hybrid de novo assembly to discover lncRNAs, identifying over 60k high-confidence lncRNAs from ovarian cancer meta-transcrtiptomic data #AGTA2024
Check it out: github.com/isabela42/HyDRA
My solution to social media spread is add fuel to the 🔥 by just randomly posting to different platforms in turn ☀️🐘🐦 for #AGTA24

I am currently recruiting a computational postdoc in my lab at CU dashnowlab.org/
The candidate would develop and use computational genomics methods to understand the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases and increase diagnoses.
Pay starts at $70k for recent PhD grads
Two weeks left to submit an abstract to Cancer Bioinformatics Australia.
After VCBS in person 2019, 2020 and 2021 online, and 2022 as part of ABACBS, this successor symposium has a real 'getting the band back together' vibe.
Register and submit now!
📢 Registrations and Abstract submissions are now open for Cancer Bioinformatics Australia!

The worst thing about social media fragmentation is that it is too hard to do #conferenceBingo at #ABACBS23 and #COMBINE23 .... and there have been so so many Manhattan plots.
Breaking my Ecks retirement to say, yet again, that the inclusion of the best talk winner from COMBINE is a great great tradition of #ABACBS23 and #COMBINE23

Great to see our free literature screening tool, Catchii, published in Research Synthesis Methods. Awesome work by Andreas Halman 👏

Awards deadline has been extended by a week. Closing Friday 25th August. Dont be afraid to self-nominate or nominate your special binfie friend
Soon we'll be opening all of our @abacbs awards. These awards are a great way of recognising the amazing binfies that are in our community across all career levels and industries.

I am delighted to announce that I will be joining @CUBiomedInfo as an Assistant Professor in July 2024! I'm excited to be joining this awesome department and founding my lab! 1/3
Super Mario Bio is back for more #ScienceWeek adventures in 2023! This time it's back to basics with how pre-mRNA becomes mRNA.
A platform at the donor site allows Mario to skip to the acceptor site and only collect coins from the exon regions.

Like everything in biology, there are exceptions! One example of alternative splicing is intron retention, where the intron sequence is included in the mRNA. In this example, Mario ignores the platform and gets those extra coins! #ScienceWeek

Happy National Science Week!
I hope these continue to be a fun way to introduce these concepts, and I'll crosspost to other platforms. Until next year...
