Learn how to do bioinformatics at scale! Nextflow is incredibly powerful for processing vast datasets in a reproducible way.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Absolutely exhausted this morning trying to work, and have just realised that I spent all night dreaming that I was working on incorporating uranium into DNA and the lab work was being "difficult".

Real projects are hard enough, I don't need new ones for my dreams πŸ˜…

TNA documentation β€” TNA 0.0.1 documentation

I just made a first release of TNA - new tool to compare 2 bacterial genomes. Is shamelessly inspired by ACT, but should be simpler to use. Drag-n-drop two genomes: it runs BLAST for you and then you can visualize. For Mac, Windows 11, Linux tna.readthedocs.io

Hello to Bluesky. Maybe this can be better than the bin-fire that has become twitter!

I'm here to talk Bioinformatics, Biology, and probably anything nerdy along the way

Am I right that emojis are the new hashtags??
