New software, Straglr, uses PCR-free long-read sequences to detect Short Tandem Repeats (STRs): "Until recently, read lengths were short; sequencing technologies were not a good replacement for conventional STR detection methods,” says Dr. Inanç Birol. bit.ly/3iDujfe

'Another solution that has been suggested is to develop animal-only antibiotics. Timothy Walsh [...] said it was “bonkers to use the same drugs in animal feeds as you would to treat neonatal sepsis”' - we couldn't agree more! theguardian.com/environment/…

UN criticised over statement on overuse of antibiotics in farming

Statement calling for significant cut in antimicrobial drug usage is ‘real missed opportunity’, say critics

Also works for bulk RNA-seq :)

Well done, Justin Chu!
Our tool miBF for "Mismatch-tolerant, alignment-free sequence classification using multiple spaced seeds and multi-index Bloom filters" is published now. pnas.org/content/early/2020/… It provides #mapping without #alignment

We have the preprint of our paper on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) discovery at @biorxiv_bioinfo biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #AMR is a global problem bigger than the current pandemic, but it is a classical case of a frog in slowly boiling water. AMPs and #MachineLearning to the rescue!

The pun with the frog intended.🐸 The manuscript describes how bullfrog defense peptides can be discovered using genomics resources. The project was a multi-institutinal collaboration. #UBC #UVic #GSC #BCCDC

Don't see any problem with the second statement. x=x 1 can be actually mathematically correct in Boolean algebra when x=1. Because the " " is conventionally the "or" operation. The first statement is a different matter.
