Hello #ScienceMastadon #AcademicMastadon Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who is involved in medical imaging research? I am currently a bioinformatician using RNA-seq data to investigate cellular ageing, but I'm also a qualified diagnostic radiographer and will soon be starting a postdoc in medical imaging. I am especially interested in utilising my quite diverse experience to bring together genetics and imaging to improve medical diagnostics. Would love to connect with anyone who is interested in this area of research or who works in medical imaging in general! 😀 #bioinformatics #genetics #rna #radiography #medicalimaging #medicine

Hey journalists! Mastodon is not a “platform”. Platforms were invented in the wake of the last financial crisis to consolidate power among specific companies by mining people of of their personal data for profit online. Mastodon does not consolidate, only connects. It does not amplify algorithmically, or mine people. Any “learning curve” should include reflection on why you ever accepted “services” aimed at data extraction as “natural” or even “social” to begin with. #twittermigration

#introduction – I'm a 🧬 #biology student primarily interested in #bioinformatics, #phylogenetics, #evolution, #mycology and #botany. 🧬 🍄

I'm also a #tech enthusiast, #Linux user and #freesoftware advocate. My distribution and desktop of choice are #Fedora and #Sway. I dabble in #coding in #Python and #Bash. 💻️ 🐧

I enjoy science #podcasts and #scifi, mainly #DoctorWho. 🎧️ 🛸

Forgot to do an #introduction in my excitement to be here.
Right now I have a few work hats: as a Senior Advisor to the Director of NHGRI, I lead projects needed by the institute, and this year that's establishing #evaluation of our grants and programs.
As an Associate Investigator, I lead the Engagement Methods Unit (EMU), my small lab focused on #genetic literacy (paper out soon!), #autism #genetics and #genomics, highlighting #ableism, and measuring effectiveness of #scicomm.
👋🏻 y'all!

#introduction toot!

Hi, I am molecular biologist/asst prof at the Institute of #GeneticEpidemiology in Innsbruck, Austria. Working on #genomics of #lipoproteinA, a #cardiovascular risk factor that is regulated by a long, polymorphic #cnv and #SNPs hidden there. Using standard #molecularbiology, #ngs, #nanopore, #epidemiology and a bit of #bioinformatics. Always curious also about any other cvd epi things and interesting sequencing puzzles in the spare time.

My #introduction!

I am a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany. I have a lab, and we study host-microbe interactions, their #evolution, and their role in #ecosystem function and stability.

I care about #diversity, #creativity, and an #inclusive environment here on Mastodon and in #academia.

Newly accepted manuscript and an almost T2T fungal genome sequence!

contigs: 21, N50: 2Mb L50: 6, length 32.6Mb, proteins: 10031, GC%: 65.2, busco_euk: 89%

"A[n]...assembly of the phototactic and optogenetic model fungus Blastocladiella emersonii..."

https://academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/gbe/evac157/6770634

Here "we assess the diversity of sensory system encoding genes...identify[ing] a rich complement of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion transporters and nucleotide-cyclases."

"In many cases, [we observed the] fusion of a protein domain to a transmembrane domain, tying a putative signalling function to the cell membrane"

Deadline 16 November: #postdoc position for someone interested in #microbiomes and #bioinformatics! Be part of a large team and compare a clinical #IBD cohort with a large general population cohort.

I wanted to advertise a postdoc position in beautiful Norwich, that is for 3+2 years.
We are looking for a bioinformatician, or someone who wants to become one. In the post we will investigate gut metagenomes using 3rd gen sequencing, deep learning, to investigate pan genomes and microbial adaptation, mostly using human gut time series of various host ailments.

Please retoot or send to interested parties, thanks!
