Bah. Bye. Now: https://mas. to/@torfinnnome

Come see what we've been cooking up for you! @nanopore and community @nextflowio pipelines wrapped up in a GUI suitable for everyone: from baby bioinformaticians to Gentoo gurus! We're on Linux, Windows and even Mac! IT'S ALSO FREE so give it a try today & tell us what you think!

The right way to evaluate chatGPT isn't by focusing on its current capabilities or limitations, but by the pace of improvement since GPT-3. I think at this rate we're likely to have intelligent AI research assistants <10y, which will drastically increase the pace of science.

For Christmas, I made you 25 days of free programming puzzles. I hope you like them. 💕 🚨 We're less than two hours away from this year's #AdventOfCode 2022! 🚨 PS: How'd you first hear about AoC? I don't exactly advertise.

Islamabad i dag, og ikke et pip i norske nyheter! Hele Rawalpindi og Islamabad er helt stengt ned. Landet står på randen for konkurs. Foruten at dette har skikkelige geopolitiske konsekvenser, er dette direkte anliggende en betydelig andel norske innbyggere. Men ikke et pip.

As of next year “Next Generation” sequencing will have been around (2005-2023) as long as the break between the original Star Trek and The Next Generation (1969-1987). It’s ok to stop calling it that

Galactica is basically GPT-3 for science. It can write whitepapers, reviews, wikipedia pages and code. It knows how to cite and how to write equations. It's kind of big deal 1/ 🧵

Breaking: Norwegian authorities named the real identity of the fake "Brazilian researcher": his name is Mikhail Mikhushin, born 1978. This announcement is in line with what we, together with our investigative partners, had already discovered, and I will add some more details:

James Lovelock, who created the Gaia hypothesis, has died on his 103rd birthday. One of the most influential scientists of our time, he worked for the British government during the second world war and later for NASA on the Mars Viking mission. https://t.co/mje1HzKDAd

No need to create containers as tool author. For every #bioconda package your get a @BioContainers (@SingularityApp, @Docker) automatically. Reproducible and transparent! Get all 60.000 containers via the #usegalaxy @cvmfs - a read only http filesystem.

If you're doing a lot of remote #bioinformatics (on an HPC cluster or cloud node) I can't recommend @VisiData enough. It's a lovely terminal-based "spreadsheet" viewer for Excel/CSV/parquet etc, which you can use to poke at your tabular data without needing to open R or Python.

Two job positions are available in our group @CIGENE_NMBU. Come and work in beautiful Norway with us using LONG READ data to build STRUCTURAL VARIANT aware genomes in cattle and pigs! https://t.co/gb4Tzbhoic

The rapid @nanopore improvements means that I had to update my slides from last years. R10.3 was roughly were R9.4.1 is today and well R10.4 simplex is now ~99% and for duplex things start to get really crazy. A few more iterations and people will stop talking about accuracy?

Introducing DeepConsensus, a new method for correcting sequencing errors. By improving the quality of sequence data, researchers may be able to assemble more difficult parts of the genome, further improve accuracy and reduce costs in the future @GoogleAI

To help those looking at Ensembl's rapid release of the new Atlantic salmon assembly (Ssal3.1) we have available an annotation table matching the new Ensembl ids to the previous assembly annotation: https://t.co/o5oEpW8gwc This is to help before a proper annotation comes later.

Demonstrating how fast (both implementation time and runtime) SLOW5 format can be: spent around 15 minutes to get slow5 working on @haowen_zhang's sigmap tool. Result: mapping 80k reads that took around 2 hours with FAST5, now takes only 5 minutes with SLOW5! That is >100X faster

I am thrilled to present mm2-fast: an accelerated version of Minimap2 that achieves up to 3.5x speedup on CPUs while maintaining identical output. Code: https://t.co/yjjNhF41EK #genomics #longreads #Minimap2 #HPC @Saurabh_Kalikar @chirgjain @wasim_galaxy @lh3lh3

Ben and I have released GPT-J, 6B JAX-based Transformer LM 🥳 - Performs on par with 6.7B GPT-3 - Performs better and decodes faster than GPT-Neo - repo + colab + free web demo article: https://t.co/a3uDbYtHwg repo: https://t.co/RL4vshKfXg
