Medical research matters! Australian scientists are making potentially lifesaving breakthroughs into the molecular mechanisms of brain tumours - discoveries with potential for commercialisation and global uptake. We should support them better via the MRFF and NHMRC.

📣 Save The Date for Cancer Bioinformatics Australia 2026! 📣 CBA will be back in 2026 on June 5th, this time in Brisbane! It will feature oral and poster presentations, networking opportunities, and high-profile invited national and international speakers. Further info: cancerbioinformatics.au

Put this in your diary. Merry Christmas 🎄

Come say hi at my poster (#49, Wednesday session) to learn how we’re building a healthy atlas of pediatric airways… how not to lose your mind while wrangling half a million cells… or just to have a chat about cricket! #ABACBS2025

Chelsea Mayoh at #abacbs2025: "If you're not using RNA-seq in your precision medicine program you're probably missing stuff"! Great to see @aliciao.bsky.social lab tools MINTIE, ALLsorts and TALLsorts making an appearance 🎉

Learn how to ATAClone on Friday 29 Nov 9.00 am @ Room 506, Festival Tower github.com/TrigosTeam/A... #ABACBS2025 @lachlancain.bsky.social @abacbs.bsky.social @annatrigos.bsky.social

PeterMac @petermaccc.bsky.social representing at #abacbs2025 What a community 😍

@lonsbio.bsky.social you absolutely deserve the "Nick Wong" community building award! Thanks for being the social glue and for your wise words! #ABACBS2025 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats @lonsbio.bsky.social on being awarded the inaugural @abacbs.bsky.social Nick Wong Community Building Award at #abacbs2025! @hdashnow.bsky.social was absolutely right - you really are the Ted Lasso of Australian bioinformatics and computational biology 😃

You won Andrew! @lonsbio.bsky.social #ABACBS2025

10 incredible years of bioinformatics and computational biology community building by @abacbs.bsky.social - enjoying catching up with old friends at #abacbs2025 🥂 @aliciao.bsky.social @nadia-davidson.bsky.social @shazanfar.bsky.social @ellispatrick.bsky.social Jean Yang Belinda Phipson Milica Ng

The gang back together at #ABACBS2025 @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social @nadia-davidson.bsky.social and @belphip.bsky.social

Wonderful talk by @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social on detecting gene fusions at single-cell resolution using custom probes #Flexify #ABACBS2025

Awesome talk by @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social one detecting fusions in single cells with probes designed for 10X Flex. If I do say so myself 😜 #ABACBS2025

@jovmaksimovic.bsky.social taking us through cancer fusions at single-cell resolution with Flexify: automated Flex fusion probe design. @abacbs.bsky.social #ABACBS2025

@jovmaksimovic.bsky.social – On how to “easily“ detect fusions in single-cells. 1. Identify fusions with bulk RNA seq. 2. Use Flexify to design fusion detection probes for 10x Flex. 3. Detect fusions and their expression in each cell with scRNA-seq. #abacbs2025

Can you feel it? Conference Twitter is back, in Blue Sky form ! ———————— ⚫️🔴 #abacbs2025 🔵⚪️

Show me a better conference venue than #ABACBS25, where you can see a live match during the break! 🏏🏟️

Yaaaassssssss! @abacbs.bsky.social Conference Twitter was the best - so happy that #abacbs2025 is resurrecting it.

#confbingo was always a great part of ABACBS #abacbs2025, and in honour of the celebrations of the society this year, it's back! Terms have been updated from the last iteration in 2018, but if there are any great suggestions let me know. Get your card and play along confbingo.shinyapps.io/bingo25/

If you're interested in cell-cell communication checkout www.connectomedb.org for the most comprehensive manually curated database of cellular interactions from @alforrest.bsky.social's lab #abacbs2025

So excited for the start of #ABACBS2025. It's been incredible to see this community grow over the last decade. Happy 10th anniversary @abacbs.bsky.social! 🎉

The Governor of SA has really done her homework on bioinformatics! Great opening of #ABACBS2025

Well done to the outgoing and incoming #COMBINE2025 presidents! Very proud of both Liyang Fei and Caitlin Page, PhD students in my group! #ABACBS2025

Excited to be on my way to Adelaide for #ABACBS2025 with guest appearance at #COMBINE2025

Maybe we need the return of #ABACBS2025 conference bingo #confBingo? Is Breon Schmidt here?

Walkthrough of the conference centre ahead of #ABACBS2025 later this month. Bit overcast in Adelaide today but hoping for clear skies at the conference ☀️🕶️
