Why on earth people still use #sourceforge . I have the feeling it never works, it's loaded with advertisements and it's just a huge waste of time trying to get a download working from there.

For our MetaG pipeline I wrote a quick-dirty script that uses the newly published eggNOG7 database for annotation. Maybe it is useful for one or another, you can find it here

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

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

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!

The genome assembly of the farmed European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus L. from the Finnish selective breeding programme - BMC Genomic Data Objectives European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.) is a freshwater salmonid that inhabits cold regions of central and north Europe and Siberia. It is an important aquaculture species in Finland, s...

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

Genetic architecture and genomic prediction for yield, winter damage, and digestibility traits in timothy (Phleum pratense L.) using genotyping-by-sequencing data - Theoretical and Applied Genetics Key message Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values for Timothy was possible using genomic best linear unbiased prediction. Abstract Timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is a grass species of great imp...

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!

Creating Drop-Down Menus in Excel I often do not remember how to create simple drop down menus in Excel and so I decided to write a short note here. The thing I want to have: In one tab, I want to have a column with possible values…

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.

Fine-tuning GBS data with comparison of reference and mock genome approaches for advancing genomic selection in less studied farmed species - BMC Genomics Background Diversifying animal cultivation demands efficient genotyping for enabling genomic selection, but non-model species lack efficient genotyping solutions. The aim of this study was to optimize...

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.

Sifting through forest soils to fight climate change In an old-growth forest in Slovakia, dozens of sensors are placed in the soil, tree trunks and air. The devices are tracking how soil hydrology and tree growth affect carbon stored in the ground. This...

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.

I think the German operator "Die Bahn" would be another negative example on how privatisation is a disaster for rail services.
