JuliaC: A New Tool for Building Julia Binaries - Event - JuliaHub Explore how JuliaC builds compact Julia binaries for embedded systems and real-time deployment, simplifying integration across engineering workflows.

Join us for a deep dive into JuliaC, the new toolchain for building executables and shared libraries from Julia code. Learn how to create compact binaries and integrate Julia with #C, #C++, #Python, and more.

🛡️ Confidence boost: refreshed benchmarks and tests now cover 96%+ of the code. Repo: github.com/diegozea/MIT...

🎨 Better structure viz: edit B-factors so you can color atoms/residues by any variable when plotting (e.g., quality, flexibility, or scores).

🗂️ Combining datasets is simpler: merge MSAs by matching sequence names automatically when pairings aren’t specified.

📈 MSA stats at a glance: estimate the effective number of sequences (down-weight redundancy) and quantify the share of “positive” residue pairs under your chosen matrix.

📊 Alignment quality: get the classic sum-of-pairs score for an MSA using a residue substitution matrix (BLOSUM62 by default), with consistent handling of gaps and unknowns.

🧬 Substitution matrices are now first-class: use built-ins like BLOSUM62 or bring your own from BioJulia’s BioAlignments.

🚀 MIToS.jl v3.2.0 brings cleaner substitution matrices, better MSA quality measures, easier MSA merges, and sturdier PDB handling — plus higher test coverage. 🧵

AlphaFold is amazing but gives you static structures 🧊

In a fantastic teamwork, @mcagiada.bsky.social and @emilthomasen.bsky.social developed AF2χ to generate conformational ensembles representing side-chain dynamics using AF2 💃

BioEmu is now easily accessible on Colab. Thank you @martinsteinegger.bsky.social and @jjimenezluna.bsky.social !!

@msftresearch.bsky.social

I have the same question. I haven't checked yet.

Yes, before, it was pretty cumbersome and slow. Now, it is the opposite experience 🙂

@googlecolab.bsky.social now has native support for #JuliaLang! 🎉 No special setup is needed anymore—start coding and sharing your @julialang.org projects! 🚀

Since you knew it, could it have helped more unconsciously, being there feeding the intuitions? 🤔

I am not sure that the Julia's Fibonacci implementation is optimal. Using Val is nice to showcase dispatch, but it hits compilation for every number, and it makes the code type unstable. Conversely, using Val should make the compiler memoize the result for each number. github.com/bddicken/lan...

🚨 I am super happy to announce that our analysis of how the structure of protein-RNA interfaces evolves is now published (early access) at @plos.bsky.social Computational Biology:

Could you add me to the pack if structural bioinformatics and molecular evolution are welcome?

Thanks :)

Hi! I nominate myself :)
