shournal: A Tool for Bioinformaticians to Boost Research Reproducibility
I recently stumbled upon a fascinating paper about "shournal," a tool designed for bioinformaticians! It's a game-changer for enhancing reproducibility in the bioinformatics field, seamlessly tracking shell commands and file events right in the Linux shell. This means all analyses can be more transparent and reliable, helping to tackle those pesky "it worked on my machine" issues. I highly recommend giving it a read and seeing how it could improve your workflow. Let's discuss how we can incorporate this into research practices!
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.
The Headliner
The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
