You know you’re a mass spec person when you are watching Olympic skating and every time they say quads you think about how yours probably needs to be cleaned πŸ™„

That was someone else . I think having a SHT repository for these methods might be a good idea

Tell me about it . They need to put in a function to select how many tips you’re loading to adjust the pressure

Opentrons came out and adjusted the pressure of the 96well head and it got better. I still am a little disappointed they are still cagey on how I can adjust this myself if it happens again

My buddy who works for an AI company says Claude Code is what everyone is using, but I used GeminiAI as you can get a pro account free with an edu email address . Seemed to work okay I think

If you're interested in how I did this. It wasn't that hard. The github site is here github.com/bsphinney/DI... You can find the original version if you want the ASCII charts that only seem to run locally. And here is my work being GeminiAI's assistant gemini.google.com/share/d0e59c...

It’s just @vadim-demichev.bsky.social python QC script that I told the ai to make into a web site app . I did it because it’s not run automatically when you run Dia-nn on Linux like it is on windows and I thought it would be useful .

I had a version that would actually turn the graphs into real ascii charts but it crashed the online version of streamlit . It works on the desktop however!

Want to make your DIA-NN QC reports in a web browser and then go back in time to the 80's and 90's? Now you can with my completely AI vibe coded streamline app! dia-nn-qc.streamlit.app You're welcome 😜

Empirical-Bayes and Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling for Missingness and Differential Expression in Proteomics Mass spectrometry-based label-free proteomics data often suffer from missing values, especially for low-abundance proteins or when a protein is completely absent in one condition. This makes it challe...

How do you deal with missing values and "unique" proteins that were only identified in one condition in proteomics data?

Mengchun Li, an amazing PhD student in my lab, developed this great Bayesian approach. Please try it and give feedback!

Are the AI's telling people to buy extended warrantee's & paint protections?

I asked the notebook, you can see the answer in teh notebook chat box. I think anyone can ask it questions maybe ?

It’s so hard to tell what’s correct and what’s not , especially if it’s not your niche

I asked if it made it up. Apparently no.

I made a google notebook llm based on this www.nature.com/articles/s41... and new data concerning mRNA - Protein expression correlation over the last year. It even wrote a grant , which you can find in there if anyone wants to submit it ! notebooklm.google.com/notebook/2c7...
