🚨 Dealing with sparse, noisy single-cell DNA methylation data (scBS-seq)? Check out #scDMV. It uses a zero-one inflated beta mixture model to tackle the excess of 0s/1s and low coverage, boosting accuracy in identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs).

The Zierath/Krook/Wallberg lab celebrated our current & former fellows and students at Nobel Forum sept 1 with a fantastic symposium on insulin action & metabolism. Grateful for all the trainees who traveled far & near to be with us to focus on science, inclusion, and innovation!

All you need is: 1) Transcriptome (equivalent of transcriptome #FASTA file) 2) Gene annotations (equivalent of #GTF/#GFF file) 3) RNAseq reads (your #FASTQ file) #BgeeCall will handle the rest and will let you know if a gene is present or absent!

❓ And what if your species is not present in this database? What do you do then? ❓ Isn't it enough to decide on an arbitrary cutoff (e.g. TPM < 1) for expression? 👉 Actually, you can do better than that. How? #BgeeCall #R package: https://t.co/A0RUrPPmL2

Before running your statistical test, double-check that its assumptions hold. Violations can lead to misleading results. Here's a handy tool to help: 🔗 https://t.co/IKNuvjeugd ℹ️ https://t.co/OzCzhI3aN4 #rstats #shiny #r

13/ To every bioinformatician out there pulling all-nighters before someone else’s talk— I see you. You’re the ghostwriter of figures. The silent co-author. You deserve a first authorship and a nap.
