New from @dgpratas.bsky.social et al. for analyzing multiple sequences in multi-FASTA format using alignment-free methodologies. Scalable to millions of sequences for pandemic research and more AltaiR: a C toolkit for alignment-free and temporal analysis of multi-FASTA data doi.org/10.1093/giga...

β€œClarivate’s decision rewards journals for continuing the unhelpful practice of keeping peer review information hidden and unintentionally presenting incomplete and inadequate studies as sound science and punishes those journals that are more transparent.” πŸ‘πŸ™Œ www.coalition-s.org/blog/how-the...

🌟 Excited to share my latest preprint with @lachlanjmc.bsky.social on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social: "Genome size estimation from long read overlaps”! πŸš€ Check it out here: doi.org/10.1101/2024... And find the code here: github.com/mbhall88/lrge πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Props to eLife for sticking to their guns and essentially telling Clarivate "stuff your Journal Impact Factor, we don't want/need it and neither should anyone else". Having recently published in eLife, I can attest to the fact that their review process is smooth and high quality.

Join the Interdisciplinary Postdoc Fellowship Program at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), one of the best places to do research in modern biology and develop your career. Great opportunities for statisticians, comp. biologists, AI experts, mathem. modelers! www.embl.org/eipod-linc

For all you Pythonistas out there, if you haven't tried `uv` yet, give it a go. It will blow you mind 🀯 it is essentially `cargo` (from the Rust world) for Python! Amazing it took so long for the ecosystem to get here, but we did. Astral.sh are doing some incredible things, with incredible devs

Microbial Genomics journal is looking for editors at senior level (functional genomics and microbe-host interactions) and handling editors (mainly eukaryotic microbial genomics but any within journal remit welcome). If you want to know more, let me know! microbiologysociety.org/who-we-are/j....
