Just visiting my Alma Mater in #Tampere

Just visited my first Basketball game here in #Tampere, cannot say it was bad. #FINGER #EuroBasket2025 #FIBAEuroBasket

Our latest in vitro study on mastitis in dairy cows is now published 🐄🧬 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.yg... We studied cows with divergent genetic background for udder health and uncovered distinct transcriptomic responses to E. coli between the two groups. #FAANG #Genomics @luke.fi @helsinki.fi @au.dk

One day I will understand why on weekends kids wake up at 7 while during the week you barley manage to wake them at 9...

Germany's new Kanzler #Merz promised that the German army should become the strongest in Europe and for that they should receive all financial aid necessary. Germany has already the highest military budget in Europe, so they should rather check how other countries can be stronger with a lower budget

We are happy to announce that in our group (Applied Statistical Methods) in Luke we have an open permanent position for a Senior Scientist, AI methods: valtiolle.fi/en/jobs/seni...

Snakemake Tip of the Day: Limit intense parallel jobs with resources inside the rule to prevent overload! Add resources: star_jobs=1 to the rule, set the global limit snakemake --resources star_jobs=10 Now only 10 star jobs run at once! #Snakemake #Bioinformatics

The most irritating thing about #Signalgate is that they have used Signal instead of X/Twitter DMs.

The reference genome will serve as a foundation for future breeding of whitefish, including genome selection. Next step: uncovering the genome complexity of this species. Exciting times ahead! @luke.fi #genomics #aquaculture #research bmcgenomdata.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Genomic prediction boosts Timothy breeding in Finland! Our study finds heritability up to 0.86 & predictive accuracy holding strong despite genotype quality. Promising for yield, winter damage & digestibility traits! @luke.fi #Genomics #PlantBreeding link.springer.com/article/10.1...

On the positive side, they manage to bring 'Starship' back to Earth. On the not so positive side - they cannot reuse it

A short note-to-myself for future uses on how to create drop-down menus in #Excel based on values from column in other sheets. Normally I do not use Excel, but for maintaining Task lists it proved to be quite useful, actually. danielfischer.name/2025/02/27/d...

Sunday, bloody Sunday! Why is it that water/heating pipes always break on Sunday's or Christmas eve?!

Wow, that was a night #garmin

Our latest study is now published online! We present an optimized #ddRAD #GBS #Snakemake pipeline for efficient genotyping in non-model species, demonstrated on Whitefish & cattle. A cost-effective, scalable solution with streamlined #bioinformatics. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

It took me two full days to understand that #rclone version 1.69 and 1.67 at least) is buggy with Box.com #OAuth resulting in an Error: redirect_uri_mismatch and I received felt 100 times the error message below... Just out of desperation I tried then still 1.57 and all worked like a charm. #bug

By learning how #forest soils trap and release CO2, countries can adapt to and ease climate change. Led by @raisamakipaa.bsky.social, the @holisoils.bsky.social project researches the pivotal role of forest soils in this effort. projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-m...

Considering how narrow minded, biased and convincingly wrong ChatGPT is in many areas, that sounds like a terrible idea.

I’m happy that my workplace Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luonnonvarakeskus) has stopped using X and will start posting more actively to its Bluesky account @luke.fi, as well as continuing to focus on LinkedIn. Please follow us! 1/2

Slow Sunday mornings with fresh baked rolls / 'Brötchen' are the best!
