The Australasian Epigenetics Alliance continues tomorrow with a talk from A/Prof Siddharth Dey (University of California, USA) Title: ‘Developing integrated single-cell epigenome and transcriptome sequencing technologies to study early mammalian embryogenesis’ […] [Original post on genomic.social]

For a long time, telomeres (the fragile ends of our chromosomes) have been implicated in the aging process, but now we know that telomere length is determined by the health of mitochondria (energy producing parts of our cells) at fertilisation (in mice). These findings could be important in […]

From the Zachgo lab, an authoratative review of the evolutionary biology of sex in plants. 🌱 🌲 🌻 And the figures are just gorgeous! https://doi.org/10.1007/s00497-025-00522-4 #evolution #biology #plants

@paocorrales and I got a paper published! reproducibility.rocks has now been published in the Journal of Open Source Education. https://jose.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/jose.00260

The headline that, in twelve words, tells you all you need to know about Trump and Russia. (From the Guardian web-site's front page.)

The mitch R/Bioconductor package for enrichment analysis gets new network visualisation function in the devel branch. See these examples for how lung cells respond to C19 infection. Here red=up regulated, blue=down. Details and quickstart guide […] [Original post on genomic.social]

@ChrisO_wiki 1/ The principle of Trump's Razor is that all else being equal, the stupidest possible explanation is the most likely. This map provides the stupidest possible explanation for why Trump wants Greenland - it looks so much bigger than the US on a Mercator projection map.

All countries should expel USA soldiers and close their bases until they bring their foreign policy in line with international law #Japan #Germany #Australia #UK

Big shoutout to the folks at NCBI GEO. They have been doing an incredible job managing enormous amounts of gene expression and related biomedical data for many, many years They do it efficiently and very, very well. I am so grateful: both when I download data published by others and when I […]

What is it with these incompetent assholes in the Trump admin leaking classified info constantly and never getting punished for it?

California residents: If you (naively IMO) signed up for the "23andMe" genetic testing service, please understand that your data may soon be sold to an even more untrustworthy company -- but you can still order it deleted before it's too late […]

Actions of Trump make sense when you understand he's trying to sow chaos in order to declare a state of emergency. It is a trick used many times in history to remove any legal barriers to total control. https://newrepublic.com/article/192091/trump-emergency-rhetoric-autocratic-rule

If Ukraine is to win the war we need to support them in the total destruction of russian industry including oil infrastructure, weapons manufacturing, metallurgy and energy. This is how Nazi Germany was defeated.

Just saying... I think Kamala would have been a better choice.

the fact the US President can call Zelensky a "Dictator" on the same day he calls himself King is.... wild. Dear America, any time now... you should probably rise up against this guy. Right? Like... fire in the streets kinda thing. Right? You think Democracy and Freedom are important enough […]

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and `echo`! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you […] [Original post on social.smallhack.org]

Just tried DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B model on my PC and noticed that it swapped into Chinese in one of my questions 😂 (1st screenshot) Q) If I knew a nuclear explosion was imminent in my city in 5 minutes and I was at home, what would be the best way to […] [Original post on genomic.social]

If you got some bandwidth to share and want to help archive the web, set up an ArchiveTeam Warrior docker. It will download stuff and upload it to the Internet Archive. They and I recommend to use "ArchiveTeam's Choice", but you can set it work on specific […] [Original post on social.luca.run]

Today thinking of Dr Nick Wong who passed away on the 3rd of February 2023 and who was a friend to many in the bioinformatics and life sciences community in Australia and NZ 🕯️

To save the planet, we have to redirect efforts from "Just stop oil" to "Just stop fascism". Because if fascism is not stopped, any chance of saving the planet goes out the window.

Exciting news that the raspberry pi 500 is released. https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-500/

The year is 2024 and powerpoint presentations are still not portable between mac and windows, with font sizes and alignment completely unpredictable 🙃
