We've (including @thesteinegger @milot_mirdita ) updated ColabFold to use the latest optimized AlphaFold implementation that reduces compile time from ~4.5mins to ~30 seconds! We've confirmed the results are identical for both monomer and multimer predictions. Try it out! (1/2)

Citizen science can contribute HEAPS of quality data. @FrogIDAus is now up to ~440,000 expert-validated frog records in <4yrs. And look at this quality call recording from FrogID - one of many being used in bioacoustics research.

Perfect timing for the peer-reviewed pub... we're having our students use Trycycler during a semester-long Microbial Genomics course. Excellent work @rrwick and co!
15 Sep 2021
Trycycler. from @rrwick, @DrKatHolt & co, generates a consensus assembly from multiple input assemblies from long read sequencing of bacterial genomes. Errors are generally in a single assembly, so get averaged out. Polishing can improve the assembly more. genomebiology.biomedcentral.…

Some of the best resources I came across for intuitively visualizing #NeuralNetworks (how they transform data and classify stuff).
With these resources, Neural Networks will be no longer black boxes for you'll.

Hey @IUBiology and @IULuddy students, NCGAS is teaching a #MicrobialGenomics class w/ @chicaScientific this Fall! We'll cover QC to assembly & all the #bioinformatics tools. It's online, so no trudging across campus

Really excited to unveil sandbox.bio, an interactive playground for learning bioinformatics command-line tools like bedtools, bowtie2, and samtools (and more to come!) 🧑💻 🧬
Thanks to @aaronquinlan, @BenLangmead, and @mike_schatz for feedback and tutorial ideas.

Over the next week or so, the NCGAS team is thinking about #pangenomics: what it means, why you should care, and what #bioinformatics tools to use. Please send us a link to your favorite pan-genome paper!
