Protein annotation, function, structural modeling, and simulation. ~35 attendees. Lectures and hands-on tutorials with intensive instructor interaction. compbioasia.net
New neuroscience job at Wilfrid Laurier University. You may not know the name, but science has been growing fast. It is also down the street from Canada's top tech university (Waterloo) and a world class physics institute (Perimeter). I feel happy and lucky to be here careers.wlu.ca/job/Waterloo...
The FM-index LF mapping is just an LSB radix sort step!

Someone held a clandestine birthday party in your office last night, and forgot to clean up after themselves?
Organized by faculty from University of Montana and University of Arizona, with National University of Singapore and A*STAR. Lecturers and project mentors from the USA, Europe, and Asia.
Requirements: Grad-level research experience in at least one stream (genomics, computational structural biology, MD, or AI), interest in learning the others, comfort with UNIX command line, and some programming proficiency.
Topics span (light) genomics → molecular modeling → molecular dynamics, all through the lens of protein function. Emphasis on modern computational methods (AI & simulation). Mix of lectures + hands-on small-group project work.
Please spread the word:
We invite applications to a two-week Computational Biology workshop in Singapore, June 14-27.
This NSF-funded workshop brings together 16-20 US grad students with international peers.
Apply by March 21: compbioasia.net

22-year-old me would have been all-in on this advice. Pretty sure I did it once or twice.
53-year-old me is like: "Could I pull it off? I think I could do it ... honey, should I try it?!"

Xfinity for the win!
Reminiscent of the copy of Procrastinator's Handbook sitting on our bookshelf.
Anyone who has ever had the joy of using Google tech support will know that ... ugh.
So it's completely on-brand that, when I tried to submit a bug report today, this happened:
(1) Push buttons to raise "Bug Report" window
(2) Click "Bug Report" button
(3) nothing ...
(Support couldn't help)
For I was hungry, and you gave me food… whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Exciting symposium on AI and Biology at EMBO | EMBL in Heidelberg on 10-13 March 2026!
Excellent lineup of invited speakers across various scales of biology!
Deadline for abstract submission is coming up — Dec 2.

A new release of RepeatMasker is available. This version fixes a bug introduced in 4.2.1 that impacted the handling of poly-A tails and the naming of LINE annotations. See repeatmasker.org for more release details.
I just asked my dogs, and they were pretty clear on the concept: just after 5PM *is* dinner time.
The allotetraploid lycophyte Selaginella rupincola growing among the boulders at Cochise Stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains southeast of Tucson, Arizona.
Xanthisma spinulosum growing outside a gym in Tucson, Arizona.
Selaginella arizonica X eremophila hybrid zone at Alamo Canyon in Organ Pipe National Monument.
A Dieteria sp. being visited by a skipper in the White Mountains of Arizona.
I'm recruiting PhD students for the Barker Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study plant evolutionary genomics - polyploidy, hybridization & machine learning for genome evolution. Work with Selaginella, Xanthisma, Brassica & more. Funding available via CAMBIUM Fellowships. Reach out if interested! 🧬🌵🤖
Please pass along - Our CAMBIUM NSF NRT provides fellowships to support new PhD students at @uarizona.bsky.social To train & prepare a new generation of scientists to harness the revolution in biodiversity big data to adapt to & mitigate the impacts of climate change. cambium.arizona.edu 🧪🌐🌾
Important open model for predicting structures for proteins (and friends)
Don't miss this opportunity to co-run a research group with @ewanbirney.bsky.social !
Ewan's science speaks for itself, and the EBI is an exceptional place to do cutting edge computational genomics.
I mean, one way to approach this is: when a paper is published under a closed license, and there isn't even a copy on a preprint server, it doesn't need to be cited (or read).
(with all apologies to the authors of this particular paper)
Dream postdoc - Rob's science is excellent (and he's pretty great, too)
Important work being done here.

Quite the complement.
I think that's "juice of a lemon".
