Please RT: new @MacsysCoe & @TheoryLivingSys webinar by Prof. Bas Teusink theoryoflivingsystems.org/ev…
on Wednesday 22nd of November at 3:30pm AEDT (GMT 11 - Syd/Mel/Can).
Very much looking forward to our first whole cell modelling seminar.

One of the important tests for mammalian whole cell models could be to test/explain the multiplicity of phenotypic involvements of functional variants.
17 Apr 2023
Contrary to what most people expect, the selection distributions are actually quite similar across diverse traits.
This is probably because functional variants tend to have effects on many traits.

Take a moment to learn about Julia (the programming language) if you don't already! I think they make some really compelling points in this piece.

Thanks to @Roesch_E @jgreener64 @adamlmaclean @nassarhuda @ChrisRackauckas Tim Holy, our eagle eyed reviewers & @rita_strack @naturemethods for superb support!
I love a good mountaineering analogy 😎

So happy to see this paper finally published 😍. It was a great collaboration and kudos to @Roesch_E and @theosysbio for leading it.
Friends in Biology or any Biology-adjacent field, this paper will likely be very interesting to you:

Out in final form, our perspective on why the Julia programming language is well-suited to biology: nature.com/articles/s41592-0…
Great to do this as part of the @JuliaLanguage community: @adamlmaclean, @nassarhuda, @ChrisRackauckas, Tim Holy and led by @Roesch_E, @theosysbio

And this is why @MacsysCoe will base whole cell modelling on #julialang

The final result is code that looks like the math but also does not sacrifice features or performance. Yes, that bit right there is runnable code, and that runnable code is one of the fastest chemical reaction simulators out there!

Excited to announce that we are significantly expanding the computational biology program at @PeterMacRes.
Applications now open for 2 group leader positions! Come and work with me! Please share widely. Closing June 1.

If institutions want to be seen as change makers, invest in that.

Climate change is accelerating the emergence and spread of superbugs, which thrive in warm, wet conditions. @CSIRO @ATSE_au urge governments to tackle antimicrobial resistance before we sleepwalk into a superbug's paradise. @OneHealthAu @ConversationEDU

An excellent Monday morning read. A rallying cry and a reminder that it is a thrilling time to be a theoretical biologist.

How do microbial interactions look like in dysbiosis? We performed a large-scale metagenome-wide metabolic modelling study and found that it largely depends on the disease.
