The “curse of interdisciplinarity”: Fields like bioinformatics fall between the cracks in grant evaluation. 🧬 For bios: Too little mechanistic validation 🧮 For math: Not enough new theory 💻 For computing: “Just” applied computing Interdisciplinarity is essential, but evaluation hasn’t caught up.

How do host-microbe interactions are affected in spaceflight? This question can be addressed with squids, RNA-seq and bioinformatics! Read the whole paper here. Memorable collaboration with @jamiefoster.bsky.social from @ifas.ufl.edu @bcbhubcsic.bsky.social @i2sysbio.es

Transcriptomics in the era of long-read sequencing #Review by @carolinamonzo.bsky.social, Tianyuan Liu & @anaconesa.bsky.social @conesalab.bsky.social @csic.es Free to read here: rdcu.be/efBjP

Our latest preprint on how to best combine multiple samples in lrRNA-seq experiment. Not, trivial as your capacity for detecting known and novel transcripts is affected. We discovered that results depend on data and reconstruction algorithm. @nanoporetech.com @pacbio.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4pnnbd92

I am SOOO excited to welcome our brand-new VEGA instrument, made possible through a collaboration among @uv.es @i2sysbio.es and @pacbio.bsky.social . Months ago, we fantasized about having one, and now this is a reality. I can´t wait to run the many projects we have in the pipeline!

I’m excited to work alongside Bonnie and the rest of the EC to keep building a strong, sustainable, inclusive, and forward-looking community for computational biologists worldwide

I enjoyed reading this paper by @hubertr.bsky.social lab comparing artifacts in scRNAseq vs sc-Isoseq @pacbio.bsky.social Concluded standard pigeon filtering may remove too many isoforms, a problem we address in SQANTI3 through our Resue step. Any plans to try this? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40630932/

What a great week at @earlhaminst.bsky.social, spent together with the awesome @longtrec.bsky.social folks! Learned a lot and had some great discussions about long-reads sequencing analysis! 🙌🏻💡 Big thanks to @anaconesa.bsky.social and everyone who made it happen! 👏🏼

The @longtrec.bsky.social Summer School in LR-RNAseq is now finished, but not our sustainable trip. From Norwich 2 London by train, drop the bikes and train again to Liverpool to attend #ISMB/ECCCB2025, and continue talking about long-reads and sustainability @iscb.bsky.social @hitseq.bsky.social

Checkout our latest blogpost, with a recap of @anaconesa.bsky.social amazing trip to reach Norwich! conesalab.uv.es/longtrec_of_...

Guess what! I am running for vicepresident!!! And other commitment colleagues are also offering their service. Check the candidates´ statements and If you are a @iscb.bsky.social member, do not forget to vote!!!

Sami leads the most algorithmic project of the LongTREC network, trying to develop new methods to deal with mapping issues that are so important for these data. He does k-mers, minimizers, strings. He is a brilliant mathematical mind!!!

Leda is really lucky to work in such an amazing scientific environment. She is our expert in tRNAs. Did you know that RNAs is much more that one linear sequence? They can be modified in many different ways before translation. Leda wants to crack the code and find how this impacts cancer. Go, Leda!

Tian is an extremely passionate and dedicated young researcher that is constantly trying to push the frontiers of knowledge. He is also extremely considerate and always bring us presents when he travels back from visiting his family in China!!!

Not everyone can or wants to cycle for 2–3 days, but we can all take a moment to ask ourselves: 💡 “How much am I impacting the planet with this trip?” 💡 “What can I do to reduce that impact?” @anaconesa.bsky.social #LongCyclingForScience #SustainableScience #LongReadsTranscriptomics
