Introducing the Anthropic Science Blog.
Increasing the pace of scientific progress is a core part of Anthropic’s mission. The Science Blog will feature new research and stories of how scientists are using AI to accelerate their work.
Read the intro: anthropic.com/research/intro…
Excited to present this webinar next week about building your computational infrastructure for clinical diagnostics! The content builds off my personal experience time building production-grade clinical infrastructure at GeneDx as observations from advising top DX companies. 🧬
Work in diagnostics or are interested in scalable workflow solutions for clinical applications? Join our upcoming webinar💻 We'll explore operational challenges diagnostics teams encounter as testing demands scale, and how @nextflowio and Seqera help address them. 🔗 hubs.la/Q047h4Q_0

I wrote a blog article about some of the best parts of nf-core's modular tooling and how to use it within your own organization. This was an extension of a talk I gave at the Nextflow Summit late last year.
Read or watch however you prefer!

✨ The @nf_core library (1400+ reusable modules, 100+ pipelines) makes bioinformatics workflows seamless and FAIR.
Now, you can build a custom library for your organization! Learn how to modularize tools and future-proof your code 👇

I didn't do any work directly on the OLE project during my time in the Breaker Lab, but I'm convinced that OLE is one of the most exciting bacterial #ncRNA discovered in recent years. Definitely check out this preprint if you'd like to see some really exciting RNA structures.
#ncRNA molecules are stranger than you think. We propose that OLE RNA is bacteria's functional mimic of
#mTOR. The Das lab at Stanford proposes OLE RNA penetrates cell membranes! They also find that RNAs we called ROOL and GOLLD form 8-membered nanocages. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Really exciting to see @valence_ai open-sourcing a large, curated, FAIR resource for #QuantumMechanics datasets. Pre-computing any missing values needed to train #ML models is also fantastic from a #GreenAlgorithms perspective. #OpenScience
We curated 40+ quantum mechanics datasets covering 250+ quantum methods & 1.5B geometries. All of this is easily accessible through the OpenQDC library. 🧵

I'm really sad to see Spring Science winding down. Having worked closely with them in a previous role during a software evaluation, I was incredibly impressed by the quality of their tooling and the caliber of their team.

1/ Spring’s AI tools are loved by scientists. But we do not make enough money to continue running the company.
Our tech gives ground-breaking new superpowers to researchers and has helped therapeutics groups around the world, from big pharma to biotech to rare disease orgs to academia.
At the same time, we’ve struggled to find a business model that can support our operations. We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down.
We know the closure of Spring leaves a major gap in the market. We’re currently having many discussions about ways for our platform’s impact to live on. I’m entertaining ideas here, more at the end.

If you missed the Nextflow Summit, this is a great way to learn about innovations coming to the Nextflow ecosystem.
Seqera AI, in particular, is exceptional at writing proper DSL2 Nextflow code, which has been a major frustration of mine with other code assistants.
📢 Webinar Today!
There's still time to register for our What’s New Product Webinar happening today! Join our Product Managers to learn about exciting new product updates to @nextflowio and Seqera, including:
🔹Nextflow VS Code Extension: Discover the latest major release of the Nextflow VSCode Extension, now powered by a new language server that elevates Nextflow into a language in its own right.

If you're not following @strnr 's blog already you should be. This is post shows how easy it is to go from a one-off python script to a installable CLI with click to a containerized tool on Docker Hub or Seqera Containers.
I wrote a short post on how to build a Python command line utility with Click using a Cookiecutter project template, and how to publish to PyPI and Docker Hub blog.stephenturner.us/p/pyth…
