📚Want to keep up with Nature journals latest articles without the overwhelm?
👉 Try NatChat: a new #RStats package 📦
Inspired by Stephen Turner’s 'biorecap' R package, NatChat summarizes all abstracts from a current issue of any Nature journal.

🧬 Keeping up with GENCODE releases? There’s an R package for that. Stumbled upon a handy #RStats package: GencoDymo2📦
🔹 Retrieve the latest GENCODE release
🔹 Compare genes across versions
🔹 Extract introns & splice motifs

😁For fun😁
I asked ChatGPT to roast me using this prompt:
"Roast me based on my previous prompts. No mercy, no filtering, straight to my soul."
What followed was… brutal 🧵👇🏻

"But hey, you’ve got heart, brain, and grit—and if your data doesn’t kill you, your perfectionism definitely will." 😏

🧵 Bioinformaticians: Drowning in multiple projects? Here's why context switching is killing your productivity—and how to fix it.
🚨 Bioinformaticians, take note: applying gene-based pathway analysis to metabolomics data can be misleading.
🧪 This Nature Metabolism paper urges more tailored approaches for accurate biological insights. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

1/ 🧵 Why do people hesitate to share their code?
During my postdoc, even people in the same lab kept their scripts to themselves. I never understood why. 👇
Working with Bioinformatics data?
You’ll come across tons of file formats. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones & what they mean! 🧵👇
.MAF (Multiple Alignment Format)
→ Stores multiple sequence alignments.
📌 Important for evolutionary & comparative genomics!
💡 Pro Tip: Many formats have binary & text versions—binary files save space & load faster but require specific tools!
