I just found `alv` (github.com/arvestad/alv), a tool for viewing multiple sequence alignments on the command line, and it's perfect. I needed a tool to highlight differences and `alv -f fasta -t aa --only-variable aln.afa` does just that. Would prefer the numbering to start at 1 since sequence variants are 1-based #bioinformatics (Data from ERR031940.)


Anyone have advice on how to get the Spades genome assembler to use less memory?

After months of work I'm so happy that our new preprint is online!

Profiling the expression of #transportome genes in #cancer: a systematic approach.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

It's a bit unfinished but it's by design! We want and need #feedback from #bioinformatics and #physiology people to move forward. I've tried to follow #openscience principles, so the pipeline is completely autonomous, containerized and the code for the paper is there, included in the repos!


I wanted to share with you a new thing I'm working on: biohandbook.me/

It's a resource for practical best practices and tips to use in bioinformatic analyses. The idea is to work together to define standards and workflows and write them down. I love the open science, FAIR data and FAIR code philosophy but there are not many easy-to-use and direct resources around to actually tell you how to do things in the bioinformatics world.

#introduction
Hello everyone!
I’m an associate prof at Virginia Tech studying viral diversity. Lately my group has been focusing on giant viruses, but we are also interested in other protist viruses, and the role of viral endogenization in host genome evolution.
#GiantViruses #ViralDiversity #TreeOfLife #Protists #Microbiology #Bioinformatics #Evolution #Virology #Genomics
Recently we have been examining the strange and complex genes encoded in giant virus genomes!

Studying some phage genes with scattered, partial alignments in varying degrees (40~+90%) of ID against closely related cousins (~93% ANI).

I'm thinking intragenic insertion/shuffling - but what kind of signals could I look for here? Common scars? Models to reference? #phage #bioinformatics #genomics


Looks interesting, Heng Li proposes a faster #BUSCO: "miniBUSCO achieves a 14-fold speedup over BUSCO. Furthermore, miniBUSCO reports a more accurate completeness of 99.6% than BUSCO’s completeness of 95.7%, which is in close agreement with the annotation completeness of 99.5% for T2T-CHM13"

When I started my lab a few years ago I started building up an in-house library for students. Two of the first books I bought are The Logic of Chance (Eugene Koonin) and The Origins of Genome Architecture (Michael Lynch). Both are remarkable books that discuss genomics in the context of microbial diversity and the tree of life.

What other genomics/evolution classics do people always keep around?
