This week the Monash Genomics and Bioinformatics Platform did a bulk RNA-Seq workshop, covering end-to-end from experimental design, through library preparation, then using web tools to run an analysis pipeline and dig into differential expression.

I feel very lucky that @SeqeraLabs agreed to take on the @MultiQC project when I joined, so that it can continue to grow and help the bioinformatics / scientific community 🧬🎉📈

Genomic data management can be a challenge, but with #MultiQC, it doesn't have to be.

This open-source tool, with '000s of users, helps researchers quickly and easily assess the quality of their genomics data across multiple samples 🧬💻

Scientists isolated enzyme (Huc) that allows soil bacteria to consume hydrogen from the air and convert it into energy, producing electricity directly when exposed to hydrogen.

Scientists discover enzyme that can turn air into energy, unlocking potential new energy source

A relative of the tuberculosis bacterium has long been known to convert hydrogen from the air into electricity. Now, scientists have discovered how.

I am pleased to share that I will be moving to @RMITComputing @RMIT in early 2023 as an Associate Professor of Digital Health
I look forward to working with new colleagues and being part of the brand new #DigitalHealth hub under the leadership of Prof Kerryn Butler-Henderson and Prof @karinv

This is my first toot, mundanely to clarify for the #ABACBS2022 conference that the preferred hashtag is now #ABACBS22

#abacbs2022 kicking off with Welcome to Country from Mirana (not forgetting the COMBINE meeting yesterday).

Getting ready for the #abacbs2022 bioinformatics conference. This is my poster.

In unrelated news, I bought a wacom tablet and some manga authoring software, and it is a lot of fun.

How do Reactome pathways get collapsed to gene sets?

I noticed GMT files from Reactome (and Reactome in MSigDB) sometimes include identifiers of genes which are negatively regulated by given pathway. It looks like a bad thing for GSEA and friends. I wonder if this is intentional or not. An example is IL18 in IL10 signalling pathway (https://reactome.org/content/detail/R-HSA-6783783).

Reactome | Interleukin-10 signaling

Reactome is pathway database which provides intuitive bioinformatics tools for the visualisation, interpretation and analysis of pathway knowledge.

Join our team ! There's an opportunity as a Senior Research Fellow (Bioinformatician), working with both the Monash Bioinformatics Platform and clinical researchers at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases, Central Clinical School.
