Breakthrough from Google DeepMind: AlphaGenome is Here 🧬

Hi @bioinformer.bsky.social, can you share the webinar link ?
Great work btw!! Looking forward to hear more

DeepMind’s new AlphaGenome AI tackles the ‘dark matter’ in our DNA Tool aims to solve the mystery of non-coding sequences — but is still in its infancy.

Interesting... but we need better data for this to work www.nature.com/articles/d41... #genomics #artificialintelligence #dna #bioinformatics

always always always run the sample data first when testing a new program #bioinformatics

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever iss...

It's great to see Windows Subsystem for Linux being open source by Microsoft! 🎉 I've been using WSL2 for my everyday Linux CLI tasks for Bioinformatics 🖥 🧬 – personally and professionally.

AI can now model and design the genetic code for all domains of life with Evo 2 | Arc Institute Arc Institute develops the largest AI model for biology to date in collaboration with NVIDIA, bringing together Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco researchers

🧪 The Arc Institute's Evo2 models DNA like an LLM models language, predicting mutations, gene function, and evolutionary signals. With 40B parameters trained on 128K genomes, it hints at AI-driven biological discovery. 🧬💻 #MLSky

Yeah, if you regularly switch between R & Python (which Bioinformatics people usually have to do) Spyder for Python, RStudio for R is a great combo

Protecting Privacy When Genetic Databases Are Commercialized This Viewpoint questions whether people’s health data obtained in direct-to-consumer genetic testing can be used, shared, or marketed in the future.

This a very important topic considering recent sudden dissappearance of Atlas Biomed, continuing problems at 23andMe, acquisition of Ancestry by an investment firm Blackstone, & multiple security incidents. #genomics #healthinformation

Thanks, as someone who uses different tools and needs up-to-date references at times.. this is great. I was thinking to start a pet-project myself to automate it

A humorous meme featuring two men shaking hands in an office setting. The text on the left expresses friends' admiration for the ability to untar a .tar.bz2 file, while the text on the right reveals that the achievement is due to using aliases

This is what I have added to my .bashrc file

alias untar="tar xvf"
alias untgz="tar xvzf"
alias untargz="tar xvzf"
alias unbz2="tar xvjf"

I would say ppt and pdf serves different purpose. For a quick glance at things ppt is best, for a indepth look at the pipeline pdf is best. Show ppt with the gist then open pdf for a detailed discussion.

Apart from Claude 3.5 sonnet, rest all will go into infinite loop of solutions that would never work even if given better context in the chat later on. Only Claude is able to improve and iterate (at times claude fails as well.. ask it to perform a complex unix task such as rename files recursively)

Histogram sampled from the same normal distribution with different sample sizes and bins.

Friends don't let friends make bad graphs repo has been updated!

Friends don't let friends use histogram for small sample sizes. Bin numbers affect the appearance of histograms, thus not robust to small (and modest sample sizes). They stabilize w/ large sample sizes.

The convergence of quantum computing and early drug discovery Drug development is an increasingly costly and time-consuming endeavour for biopharma companies, but the emergence of quantum computing is expected to transform the early drug discovery process.

Here's a great article discussing the future of Quantum chips and rapid early drug discovery advancements
www.kvantify.com/inspiration/...

Meet Willow, our state-of-the-art quantum chip Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.

#Google just announced the Willow their new #quantumchips

Can we expect a future where we will be doing seconds (yes, seconds) of MD Simulations using such quantum chips. .

- 1.6x time reduction (40% increase ??)
- Pangenome integration
- New model and improvements over previously model

Excited to try this new update 🧬💻
