Been building a genomics viewer with Claude Code for diverse genomic data (TnSeq, RNASeq etc) It’s intuitive, light, and highly customizable for figures or .svg files. If you’ve been looking for an IGV alternative check it out! Run “pip install bingoviewer” then “bingo”

Bulky pastas—like farfalle and fusilli—require more packaging than thinner varieties, making them trickier to transport and leading to more waste. 🍝 On #NationalPastaDay, learn more about a different twist on pasta dough that could help reshape food manufacturing, according to a @ScienceAdvances study. bit.ly/4dQFHhB
