Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall.
The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature.

Release of DeepVariant 1.8. Large speed improvement (~67% faster) via small model for easy sites. New Pangenome-aware option. Reduces error by ~30% for vg-mapped WGS ~10% for BWA WGS ~5% BWA exome. New config for custom model users, see release notes 1/3

ALT Runtime figure for new version of DeepVariant with and without small model. Showing reduction in runtime of 155 minutes to 101 minutes with Illumina, 174 minutes to 71 minutes with PacBio, and 295 minutes to 114 minutes with Oxford Nanopore.
Check our latest work, led by @anna_sayol, where we move forward on the characterization of healthy microbiota. I could not be more proud of her!
📢💥 Thrilled to share our new paper (and my first one!) on the normalization of SCFAs to distinguish between eubiotic and dysbiotic stool samples, published in #GutMicrobes! 🧪🔬📄

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago.

It has been a blast to work with so many talented researchers across our the globe. Specially, continuing working with @theaidenlab (@odudcha, @cynthi_PE & @erezaterez ), the Gilbert Lab (@marce_save & Tom Gilbert).
Juan @jrotwitguez and I have really enjoyed this work! 😃👇

Una técnica revolucionaria rescata el ADN intacto de un mamut y acerca la resurrección de criaturas extinguidas. Los “fósiles de cromosomas”, de una hembra fallecida hace 52.000 años en Siberia, abren una ventana a un mundo desconocido para la ciencia elpais.com/ciencia/2024-07-1… 👇

Ha muerto el inigualable Daniel Dennett @danieldennett
Os dejo con la que considero una de sus contribuciones más poderosas e interesantes, en 7 minutos Dennett explicaba la extraña inversión del pensamiento que requiere la biología evolutiva

We have a new lab opening to do RNA-Seq/Ribo-Seq experiments in human cells and discover new microproteins. Anyone would like to join us? Details here: evolutionarygenomics.imim.es…

Hace millones de años, el elemento Alu5 se movió y copió en un intrón del gen TBXT, haciendo que la proteína que codifica este gen se vea alterada y, por ende, la ruta molecular que conduce a la formación de la cola. ¿El resultado? Atrofia o ausencia de desarrollo de la cola.

So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …
