Come to the BOKR session at 2:20 and see Charlotte Tumescheit @schnamo.bsky.social give a super interesting talk about improving prediction of molecular properties by incorporating ontologies. #ISMBECCB2025

Come and see me in the ice rink if you want to plot phylogenies in matplotlib! Poster 206. GitHub.com/KatyBrown/plot_phylo #ISMBECCB2025

Excited for the ISMB/ECCB conference! I have two posters A520 today about an endogenous and exogenous virus I found in nematodes - and B206 tomorrow about my tool plot_phylo for drawing phylogenies in matplotlib. #ISMBECCB2025

New Review Paper Alert! Are you interested in how to use AI to decode RNA? Check it out here www.nature.com/articles/s41... @jannahastings.bsky.social @vincentjung.bsky.social

New Online! Decoding the interactions and functions of non-coding RNA with artificial intelligence

🧬 Are you into endogenous viral elements? If yes (and you should be, they are pretty cool) I highly recommend getting in touch with the amazing Katy via the sign up sheet! 🦠

#Wanted: Our Medical Knowledge and Decision Support Group #IfIS seeks a PhD candidate in #AI for #Metabolism (80%) to join the MetaboLinkAI project jointly funded by @snsf-ch.bsky.social @agencerecherche.bsky.social 📩 Apply by 31 March 2025 ➡️ jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie... @jannahastings.bsky.social

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My tool plot_phylo is now available through @pyopensci! Used to plot a phylogenetic tree using matplotlib functionality, so mpl can be used for additional annotation. Very smooth and helpful process with lots of useful feedback. www.pyopensci.org/python-packa... github.com/KatyBrown/pl... 🧪🧬🖥️

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Hello Bluesky community :) Would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to some selected bioinformatics work I did together with @thekatybrown.bsky.social, if you are dealing with multiple sequence alignments it might be useful! peerj.com/articles/129...

Check out our recently published paper about evaluating AI-generated images! Wonderful work together with @jannahastings.bsky.social @muhrlizza.bsky.social and more! www.cureus.com/articles/308...
