Hi there! Here is your random DNA sequence logo for today! The consensus sequence is: TAGTAG #Bioinformatics #DNA #Sequence #Genomics #DNASequence #RaspberryPi
We sequenced and analyzed #transcriptome of pods from seven cacao genotypes inoculated #Phytophthora palmivora and controls. We identified potential cis-regulatory elements involved in cacao resistance to this pathogen. Paper here: https://rdcu.be/dy9zZ #PromoterMotif #DNA #RNA #Sequencing #Genomics #RNASeq #Bioinfirmatics

I probably should have asked before the conference ended šŸ˜‚
One of the downsides of dropping the bird site is I didn’t see any chatter surrounding the conferences I had to miss this year. Any #PlantHealth #PlantHealth2023 folks here?
I was a little surprised by the hidden cost of the ā€œcompanion kitā€ required for library prep. I was expecting the kit to come with everything we’d need. Fortunately it comes with 4x more reactions than I need, so I’ll have some left over for the next time I do nanopore sequencing.
Anyone have any life changing tips for a first-time #nanopore user? I will be doing some MinION sequencing over the next few weeks.

Hey! Do not store multiple lines in a single cell of a CSV file. This is untidy. If you need multiple lines in a cell, you are not using the correct data layout.
Even when I’m using command line BLAST, I still find the Web BLAST table of contents from NCBI helpful for choosing the correct tool.
