This week, I teach the students of WBIO-A-08 how to use the CLI. Currently they are having a lot of fun with piping 😈
They already learned how to create a @deNBI VM, transfer files, install tools via apt, and how to use a lot of small helpful utilities. In the next days some more bioinformatics orientated tools will follow.

🌿 Plant Bioinformatics! 💻🧬

How do we turn massive plant omics datasets into biological insight?

We cover genomics, transcriptomics, sequence analysis, phylogenetics, statistics, and reproducible research practices. Plant science is data science. 🌱

@thatdnaguy I use nextcloud Notes (Smartphone APP and on PC direct access to the synced files). I also use CalDAV calendars via my nextcloud, which can also include tasks. Generally I like nextcloud :)

This Utricularia gibba was gifted as a piece of art to a gardener from the Botanic Gardens Bonn for helping with growing plants that I use for research. Another specimen is hold by the Herbarium Bonn. For the Botanic Gardens Bonn, Utricularia gibba is usually a "weed" that needs to be removed regularly. Last year, some were allowed to bloom to obtain seeds. #Utricularia #Herbarium #BotanicalGarden #Bonn

@zerodivision this sounds like you want to do a functional annotation with a reference? Have your heard of the tool GeMoMa? Maybe this might help you, but it needs GFF/GTF files.

@lwpembleton and with your current job?
I fear that the same fate awaits me when I finish my studies. Luckily my Professor is a Linux advocate :D
