Why continue in-person training when virtual is so accessible? You can’t beat the connections made when interacting face-2-face. Future PRS collabs being formed here at #PRSAfrica2024 @eventsWCS @Makerere

There’s still time to join tomorrow’s #webinar with @GoogleDeepMind and @emblebi to explore how #AlphaMissense can predict missense
variant effect, and to discover where to find the predicted data. Registration is free but essential: ebi.ac.uk/training/events/al… #AI #geneticvariation
ALT Graphics card showing EMBL-EBI webinar about AlphaMissense predictions for human genetic variation research. Speakers are Joshua Pan, Ziga Avsec, Elisa Wong, Paulyna Magana, Louisse Paola Mirabueno, Benjamin Moore, Yvonne Lussi, and Aurelien Luciani The webinar will run on Friday 07 June at 3:30pm BST.

How do you get students excited about plant genetics? Activities! @emblebi's @sarahcdyer and Briony prepared a @SciInSchool article describing the importance of plant genomes and how to set up exciting projects to bring to the classroom (or homes!) 🥳

Join us with @GoogleDeepMind and @emblebi to explore how #AlphaMissense analyses missense variants and predicts their potential pathogenicity, and discover where to find such predicted data. Registration is free but essential: ebi.ac.uk/training/events/al… #AI #geneticvariation @Avsecz

1/ You might know you can add custom tracks on #Ensembl, but can you visualise Ensembl features in the #Karyotype view? Absolutely! Let us show you how in this week’s #tweetorial!

#AlphaMissense scores from @GoogleDeepMind are now displayed on @Ensembl #VEP annotation tabs - these scores categorise single nucleotide missense variants as either likely pathogenic or likely benign @emblebi #genomics xitter.cf/deciphergenomic/status…

You can find out more by registering for our upcoming webinar taking place on 7 June 2024, focusing on AlphaMissense data integration into EMBL-EBI resources.

To help scientists explore whether a genetic variant is likely pathogenic, and which regions of proteins are functionally important, we've integrated AlphaMissense data by @GoogleDeepMind into @ensembl, @uniprot & the AlphaFold database.

We are excited to begin the @bioinfoedsummit
in New York. In the upcoming days, in-person and virtual attendees will work together to look for solutions to address the current challenges of promoting bioinformatics education worldwide. Stay tuned! #bioinformatics #education

1/ Its Friday! And to celebrate we are here with another @Ensembl #tweetorial. Did you know that Ensembl VEP tool can be used to annotate variants in livestock species including chicken, dog, goat and sheep.
Ben Ensembl retweeted
Ensembl 112 has been released! We have added many fish genomes, exciting Drosophila genus wide pangenome and some super cool VEP updates.
