This week’s recap highlights compendium of human gene functions derived from evolutionary modelling from the Gene Ontology Consortium, an AI reasoning model applied to rare disease diagnosis, an agentic AI for scRNA-seq data exploration, and applying FAIR principles to scientific workflows.

GigaScience Press’ has been awarded one of the first CrossRef MetaData Awards, highlighting the Press as a leader in providing essential information to facilitate discovery, identification, and details of online research articles. This week GigaScience Press has been announced as a winner at the inaugural Crossref Metadata Awards, recognising efforts in scholarly publishing metadata completeness and enrichment in their journal,

Following our previous DNA Day 2025 post covering where we are in the T2T (telomere-to-telomer) genomes era, we have a second expert Q&A covering the topic, this time from Kateryna Makova on the challenges (and opportunities) of

Reposted from the original at https://blog.stephenturner.us/p/uv-part-3-python-in-r-with-reticulate. Two demos using Python in R via reticulate+uv: (1) Hugging Face transformers for sentiment analysis, (2) pyBigWig to query a BigWig file and visualize with ggplot2.

This is part 3 of a series on uv. Other posts in this series: uv, part 1: running scripts and tools uv, part 2: building and publishing packages This post Coming soon… Python and R I get the same question all the time from up and coming data scientists in training: “should I use Python or R?” My answer is always the same: it’s not Python versus R, it’s python

This week’s recap highlights new methods in genetic epidemiology, mostly centered around genomic data sharing and privacy-preserving methods: a short commentary on genomic data sharing highlighting how new challenges complicate large-scale data sharing practices, a privacy-preserving method for QTL mapping, privacy-preserving methods for federated biobank-scale GWAS analysis, a Nextflow pipeline for polygenic score QC and construction, and new

Thanks to the Event Fellowship from Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF), I was privileged to attend the 2025 International Statistical Genetics Workshop (ISG). ISG is an intensive, week-long workshop held annually in Boulder, Colorado that provides hands-on training in the principles and application of over a dozen open-access bioinformatics tools for analysis of genomic data.

It’s been a decade long journey, but the publication of a completely gapless telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly finally marks the end of the Bauhinia Genome Project.

The software that we use to do our work is our academic software stack . I often see requests for advice on which software works well. Since recommendations from labs that have road-tested a few options are quite valuable, I thought I would document what we’re currently using and why. I have tried to note if we’ve switched, tried alternatives and if we’re happy. The lab is Mac-based and we prefer FOSS solutions.

Animals that start with the letter “I” include a diverse range of creatures from different taxonomic groups, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. Some well-known examples include the Indian Elephant, Iguana, Impala, and Indochinese Tiger. Other animals that start with “I” may be less familiar, such as the Inland Bearded Dragon, Ili Pika, and Iberian Lynx.
