Bioinformaticians: If you see an R package in bioinformatics that is in CRAN instead of Bioconductor, does this raise a bit of suspicion? Why or why not? #bioconductor#bioinformatics#rstats
Occasionally, I think about how to work effectively with #rstats. Currently, I am teaching my #bioinformatics courses with #RKWard again. I try to do most of it with packages from the base installation. #datatable is an exception. But otherwise, I like to use #within (very fast) instead of #mutate.
But there are more approaches, which are often simpler/faster/stable:
Is anyone using a self-hosted Zotero server? Is it possible?
The few projects I found are no longer maintained. And my impression from questions on the Zotero github issues is that this is not their priority at all.
I've been accepted to Northeastern University for graduate school.... again! 😅 As I continue my #PhD in Computer Science, I'll also be taking courses in pursuit of a Graduate Certificate in #Bioinformatics, concurrent to my computer science dissertation on #datavisualization tools for high-dimensional data exploration. Super excited to see where this next chapter leads!
I'm a third year PhD student in Computer Science at an R1 university (completed MS coursework), and a dual citizen USA/EU :) Thanks for boosting! #GetFediHired
Uni cluster runs using Docker images, so I have snakemake setup to specify the images appropriately dispatching jobs.
But I'm switch back and forth between our Linux servers and the cluster. Aiming to run jobs on our servers using the same images to avoid version conflicts and unexpected behavior.
Anyone using snakemake with dockerhub images on a standard Linux server? The docs aren't clear on compatibility and how to set it up so far.
Do you use Continuous Integration in your #bioinformatics or #datascience projects or know of projects that do? If so, can you provide the link to the example? If not, why? Do you feel it would take too much time?
I need to create a very simple GUI application that boils down to basically an HTML form but local.
Any suggestions on what to use to make it? I'm familiar with Python but I want to make it as portable and as cross platform as possible. A Web application would be perfect but I have absolutely no knowledge about making websites, and I don't want a hosted solution.
I'm looking for a new job (remote or #PDX), please boost!
I am a research software engineer with 11 years experience developing interdisciplinary scientific software that is robust, #accessible, and user-friendly.
Got into into a combination nightmare today doing peptide search without any enzyme cleavage site and a massive fasta file. Oops. I am going to need to find the sweetspot...
I know some vendors of mass spectrometers who could learn a lesson or 2 from ONT. Open source software running on all platforms, wow... #bioinformatics#teammassspec
The more I use Skyline for #proteomics / #peptidomics the more I want to build a simpler alternative. Mostly just as a finder/viewer, without the parts doing statistics. Something like that.
I also really want to build something to extract and store thousands of spectra from tons of DDA and peptide search results. 🤔
We are hiring! Melbourne Bioinformatics is expanding our team by recruiting into three new positions. This is your chance to become part of a dynamic team of expert bioinformaticians who are at the forefront of Australian #bioinformatics training, outreach, and research.
All three roles are full-time, continuing positions based at the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus. Applications close 15 May 2024. For more information, including application instructions, follow the links below.
