D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson was born OTD in 1860. He conceived of organismal form as primarily a matter of physical forces, rather than natural selection.

He used diagrams to represent how networks of physical forces could deform one body plan into another.

A fantastic collection of @ZoonomiaProject papers on the evolution of #mammal genomes in @ScienceMagazine. Of special interest is the final paper, relating genomics to extinction risk. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn5856

Happy to share our TOGA manuscript, now out in Science. Project started 6 years ago, we and others already used TOGA in numerous projects. TOGA integrates gene annotation and orthology inference, and scales to hundreds of genomes. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn3107

I'll miss running GO enrichment analyses though 🙄.

Only a matter of time before a paper formalized this exercise:

Automated #scRNAseq cell type annotation with GPT4, evaluated across five datasets, 100s of tissues & cell types, human and mouse.

A🧵below with my thoughts on how such tools will change how #Bioinformatics is done.

Really cool! Flying insects loose their sense of which way is up and get trapped by the light source (not lured).

Why insects aggregate around light at night and seem unable to leave?

A nearby artificial light source shifts an insect’s sense of vertical orientation, disrupting its ability to maintain forward flight.

Egg-spots are male ornaments on the anal fin, varying between + within species. What developmental mechanisms underlie this variation?

To start to address this we examined egg-spot formation in A. calliptera, the Malawi radiation's ancestor-type species

@SVBelleghem https://github.com/pangenome/pggb for graph building and https://github.com/pangenome/odgi for visualization

Been working on a #pangenome tutorial comparing alignments with #minimap2 (left) and #seqseqpan (right) and adding genome features, including species-specific sequences, sequence similarity, TEs, and ATAC-seq (data from Heliconius butterflies). https://stevenvb12.github.io/

Anyone know if the #seqseqpan result could be obtained with other programs (thinking #minigraphCactus and #hal alignments)?
