Really exceptional level of knowledge on @nanopore showed by @Amandatron89 & @NatalieAnneRing .

Hope everyone has enjoyed this week as much as we did!

Good luck with your own data😊

#Genomics #GenomeAssembly #Bioinformatics

I mean... I feel you, #Twitter, I too have reached my limit.
So Twitter is going well today.

Great session about #GenomeAssembly using short Illumina and long-reads @PacBio @nanopore by @Passdan on this day3 of the Winter School in Bioinformatics

If you want to learn more about these topics, have a look at our courses below:

1. Genome Assembly and Annotation with @giulio_formenti
and @GuidoRGallo

https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course20/

2. Genome Assembly using @nanopore with @Amandatron89 and @NatalieAnneRing https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course59/

This year I’m doing wry January.

Nothing has changed, I’m just laughing at it

πŸ—£οΈIn this hands-on #Bioinformatics course, attendees will learn how to process raw @nanopore sequencing data into a fully assembled, polished and quality-controlled genome assembly.

Instructors: @Amandatron89 & @NatalieAnneRing

Intro to Python training coming up in Edinburgh: http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/introduction-python-biologists-0

It's a good un, I went on it myself when I started my PhD!

Announcing papertooter. Papertooter is a simple script that takes the URL of a biorxiv preprint, and posts the title and link to the paper on Mastodon using the Mastodon Python API. It also posts a unique hashtag it generates from the paper's DOI. Good for paper posting bots, or just for your own paper posting fun.

Feature requests and bug reports welcome.
