Zheng Su presents kiloBrains.com, an AI-powered biodata analysis platform. A virtual bioinformatics assistant #AGTA2025

Cornetto from @hasindu2008.bsky.social presented by Ira Deveson: T2T assembly of human genomes with @nanoporetech.com adaptive sampling by rejecting the "boring bits". 27/46 chromosomes fully assembled from one flowcell. Can also be used on saliva! #AGTA2025 github.com/hasindu2008/...

"Isoforms are important; how come we're not studying them?" #AGTA2025 keynote @azizalkhafaji.bsky.social mentions that we are now at am I flection point, where 100s of millions of reads are produced per run.

The great Prof Vanessa Hayes, who sequenced the first African Genome, states "the closer we get to ancestral populations, the more diversity we see in genomes". Presents genomic data from WGS of Khoe-San populations, interesting phylogenetic split between Khoe (hunters) and San (gatherers) #agta2025

Prof Sean Grimmong from PeterMac Genomic Cancer Medicine on the entire workflow for #cancer #diagnosis, and how to deal with dilemmas, like the 5% of Australians without a clear diagnosis #agta2025

The 🧬🧬🧬 party has started!! First sponsored session by #Roche on #Axelios #SBX #AGTA2025

@estamatakis.bsky.social , not recently active on #Bluesky, on the health value of each minute of different physical activity intensities against 6 health outcomes.

Adaptive sampling #WGS is moving from bench to bedside. Our work delivers SNV, structural & methylation insights on @nanoporetech.com with molecular signals emerging in minutes, not days. Watch this space 👀 #cancer #genomicAI #MultiOmics #bioinformatics @cra-chusj.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4d337djb

Given how stingy public research funding is overall, it's shocking that the #MRFF only spends 50% of what is allocated in the budget. This funds highly impactful, translational research focused fund that can DIRECTLY address the economic burdens of the healthcare system + improved patient outcomes

Genomics is the future of cancer treatment. The PAGES project is making sure Aboriginal Australians are part of that future. 🎬 Watch now 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRfX... #precisionMedicine #healthEquity #genomics #firstNations

Existential #RNAsky question for the weekend: If two RNA products share the same promoter/TSS, but have different 5' ends (one is processed out of longer transcript) and are differentially expressed, are they different isoforms or distinct genes?

LLM chat bot generated requests for HDR supervision are so generic and obvious, it makes sifting through applications that much easier. I'm concerned for new tenure track academics -- I hope they can sniff out these copy paste requests, maybe by using honeypots on university research profiles?

Don't miss @osvaldoics.bsky.social in the flesh next Tuesday in Sydney

Early bird deadline extended for #AGTA #AGTA2025 This year will be quite different, with a big focus on tech, low cost Rego, digital engagement, and in a central location. Don't miss the ECR events, exhibitor lounges (à la AGBT) and two lightning talk sessions, open to industry members: agta2025.com

Yesterday we had a brilliant start to #ARNASydney2025. We kicked off with the #RNA in neuroscience & RNA tech, AI & Bioinformatics sessions. Speakers included @sergiuppasca.bsky.social, Mike Clark, @sabaaltaf.bsky.social, Nicole Green and several others #RNASky @unswrna.bsky.social

Prof Nils Walter from U.Michigan back in Sydney, mentions it's his favourite place! Opening up the #ARNASydney2025 structure, chemistry and dynamics session.

#A-RNA2025 off to a great start. @martinalexsmith.bsky.social sharing his views on why lncRNAs should no longer be consider wallflowers.

The annual meeting of the Australasian RNA association is on for the next 3 days at UTS. Possibly one of the longest hashtags ever #ARNASydney2025

Only 3 sleeps until #ARNASydney2025!!! Excited to host two special panels: 💼 Career Development Panel - organised by our outstanding A-RNA EMCR team 💊 RNA Commercialisation Workshop - generously sponsored by BioNTech Australia Register at www.a-rnameeting.org.au #RNASky @unswrna.bsky.social

RNA is far more than a messenger. Its structures regulate, evolve, and catalyze — carrying out functions DNA alone cannot. But predicting #RNA structure from sequence is still extremely difficult. In our recently published paper in @narjournal.bsky.social we present a way forward. 🧵 ⤵️
