@eggtron @UniFreiburg @eggtron is also stepping down as the BackofenLab twitterer :-)
Day #2 of the #DFG SPP2002 conference in Kiel. 🙂This morning @Lydia_LH17 from our group will present our joint Z-project with @BackofenLab on ribosome profiling and bioinformatics approaches for global sORF identification.
Looking forward to our @SPP__2002 conference (@dfg_public) on small proteins in prokaryotes starting tomorrow in Kiel: Opening lecture by the @storzlab tomorrow evening & many talks on new insights in small proteins in bacteria & archaea & their function in the upcoming days.
We're delighted to share our new work on CRISPR-Cas. CRISPRloci: comprehensive and accurate annotation of CRISPR–Cas systems academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…
Exciting news, our preprint about predicting #ORF in bacteria from #Ribo-seq data is available. Great collab: @realgelhausr, @SarahLSvensson, @amri2k, @SharmaLab1, @eggtron, @BackofenLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/RickGelhausen/… #proteins #benchmark #Bioinformatics #SPP2002
Are you interested in developing an online data analysis game in the context of @StreetScienceCo? This student position is for you, apply now! #streetscience #CitizenScience #OpenScience
A new #usegalaxy tool suite from @BackofenLab for chimeric RNAs associated with specific cancer types. ChiRA: an integrated framework for chimeric read analysis from RNA-RNA interactome and RNA structurome data doi.org/10.1093/gigasc…
And thanks to the organizers! First and foremost @hexylena and @shiltemann! What a great event!
A long week and it's sadly coming to an end. We're so happy for the (now 1177 people🤯) who registered and those who joined this week! Thank you to @CinecaProject @ErasmusplusNL @gxytraining @galaxyproject, and all the amazing GTN instructors who supported this #UseGalaxy event!
@denbiOffice and RBC Freiburg @BackofenLab will also support the next @galaxyproject Papercuts CoFest #usegalaxy #Bioinformatics. For more information see: denbi.de/training/1194-…
We welcome our 1080 registered trainees! Don't hesitate to ask any of the 50+ trainers from all over the world. galaxyproject.eu/posts/2021/02/… @ELIXIREurope @EoscLife #denbi @UniFreiburg @Gallantries_EU
🦠Don't miss out on the next #COVID19 Galaxy webinar with @bjoerngruening @babi2305 and Wolfgang Maier With them, you will explore the Viral Beacon and Galaxy variant workflows ➡️bit.ly/GalaxyCOVID19 @CRGenomica @galaxyproject @denbiOffice @usegalaxyp #usegalaxy @UniFreiburg
To all biologists: what are your favourite online conferences you will attend this year?
Today @sergeilkp will talk about "Insights from selection analysis of complete genomes and read-level data". Join us and learn more about the genetics of #SARSCoV2. @ELIXIREurope #denbi #usegalaxy
🚨 Haven't you attended yet one of your Galaxy-#COVID19 webinars this year? Now it's time to. We are ready for session 4 with Sergei Pond, tomorrow at 5 pm CET! Are you coming? ➡️ bit.ly/galaxycovid_4 #bioinforamtics #ELIXIRvsCOVID19 #usegalaxy
Heartfelt congratulations to @MiladMiladi_ for successfully defending his PhD thesis last friday. He published an amazing number of papers, 12 of them with a major contribution! Check out his work here: orcid.org/0000-0002-0173… #bioinformatics #COVID19 #bioconda #RNA #usegalaxy
We're very happy to share our new work on CRISPR-Cas. CRISPRidentify: identification of CRISPR arrays using machine learning approach. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… A data-driven approach that uses ML to detect and differentiate true arrays from false ones based on several features.
We're pleased to share our new work on CRISPR-Cas.Casboundary: Automated definition of integral Cas cassettes academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… the first method for automated cassette boundary detection, Cas protein annotation and classification, which comprise single and multi-modules.
NanoGalaxy: Nanopore long-read sequencing data analysis in Galaxy. Our work on bridging @nanopore and @galaxyproject, the two accessibility heavens of sequencing & data analysis, is now published: doi.org/10.1093/gigasc… @WanderingWim @shiltemann @bjoerngruening @mariusvdbeek
Our tool is online now. You are welcome to try it. Please tell us what do you think about it and also we would appreciate seeing your feedback to improve the tool.
