Are you passionate about computational biology and the evolution of specialized plant metabolism?

We invite highly motivated and experienced students and early-career researchers to join @PuckerLab in Bonn for a visiting research stay. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, exchange ideas, and work in a collaborative and supportive scientific environment with excellent computational resources.

More details and contact information:

"We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to develop high-performance algorithms for sequence alignment, pangenome representation, application of pangenome data structures, or other projects the applicant may propose. A qualified candidate is expected to be proficient in a high-performance language such as C, C++ or Rust, and have rich research experiences in #bioinformatics and computational genomics."

Anyone know what software is used to generate these amino acid sequence alignments figures?

#bioinformatics #microbiology #assembly question. I'm looking through some new archaeal genome assemblies, and some of the species show perfect assembly output except in one plasmid - always in about 1k different contigs of braided alternate paths but graph together nonetheless. Is this a biological signature of something?


Postdoc job opportunity! We're looking for early career researcher in evolutionary genomics to study the relation between intra-specific gene expression variability, polymorphism, and macro-evolutionary rates. We have all of the data in 3 fishes and amphioxus, just waiting for your expertise and enthusiasm!

Excited to announce our article, "EvoWeaver: large-scale prediction of gene functional associations from coevolutionary signals" was just published in Nature Communications!

We demonstrate that it's possible to infer how genes work together using only sequencing data by leveraging correlated signals of evolution. Check it out at the link below!

What do #nanopore #sequencing #bioinformatics folks think about this one? New preprint on hashing raw nanopore signals and using them directly for de-novo assembly.

arxiv.org/abs/2503.02997v1

Hypothetical blow5-to-assembly pipe would be interesting, though figuring it out is way out of my depth.

New shitty reality:
Every time #NCBI is #down you wonder whether it's permanent or not.

Just now the whole nih.gov is not resolving from two different locations I have access to.
Also:

And just in time when I decided to do some #bioinformatics work 1AM on Sat^W Sunday.

New tool from me: I wrote a local aligner that can do approximate reference-based alignment and find genes in a query microbial genome, without a separate indexing step or any temporary disk space usage.

Written fully in Rust and there will be a browser version out later: github.com/tmaklin/kbo 1/3

[New paper]: Two subtle problems with over-representation analysis.
ORA is a type of enrichment analysis that analyses over-represented functional categories in gene lists. These tools have accumulated ~190k citations, but they have subtly different behaviours. Here we unpack the differences and investigate two subtle problems in some implementations, which may have negatively impacted those 190k research papers.

Our new preprint on the impact of protein phosphorylation on structures is now out!

Protein phosphorylation is a key regulator of cellular processes.It's ubiquitous, yet the function and relevance of most phosphosites is unknown. Understanding phosphosite function requires elucidating the structural mechanisms through which it acts. (1)

1) Want to know how much of your metagenome is eukaryotic? No references? No problem. We developed SingleM microbial fraction (SMF) and ran it on 250k metagenomes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20….

If you know what Eukaryotes are there, you can filter reads by mapping to their genomes. However, often you don’t know what’s in your sample, or the euk doesn’t have a genome.

"Indexing All Life's Known Biological #Sequences" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

"In this work, we take advantage of recently developed, very efficient data structures and algorithms for representing sequence sets. We make Petabases of DNA sequences across all clades of life, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and humans, fully searchable and make the indexes available to the research community"

[New preprint] Direction-aware functional class scoring enrichment analysis of Infinium DNA methylation data
#Genomics #Epigenetics #Bioinformatics
In this article we outline a refined method for pathway enrichment of infinium array data that is more sensitive and precise as compared to existing over-representation approaches. Feedback welcome.

Stowers is starting up a paid training program for bioinformatics, please share with anyone who might be interested in something like that! (in Kansas City)

At my workplace, we're looking into how we can support the processing of very large datasets in R. It would be wonderful if some bioinformaticians could answer a couple of questions to direct us to the problem points.

We're hoping that we can publish something out of this that will be helpful to everyone in the field: forms.office.com/r/jNd2cbEZkh

Come work with us! I have a PhD position available to help understand which mutations in the non-coding parts of coding transcripts have functional consequences in Stem Cells.

We will using genome wide mesaurement of the effect of variation in miRNA binding sites to address when vairation causes changes in regulation and when it doesn't.
