There’s a car under here…
Take me back to Paris 😭

Hard to beat clean data and graphs like these! 🤩

A vaccine skeptic was just elected Health Secretary of the USA. Reminds me of when the Largest Man in Quebec was elected Health Minister and fucked our entire health care system. But much worse.

I feel like I'm onto something

Cursed protein 🫣

Another go-to graph for "AHA!" moments: phylogenetic trees. This @embl.org hosted interactive tree viz tool is intuitive and so so so customizable.

Where would you live if you could 100% work remotely?

The vast majority of my "AHA!" moments are from surfing around the UCSC genome browser. Thanks, @ucscgenomics.bsky.social ! This little screenshot made my week

Using Cursor for coding is like being strapped onto a rocket ship. It integrates language models and can edit your code itself so you don't even have to copy+paste. Annoying bioinfo tasks like removing isoforms becomes a breeze!

I gotta give it to Walsh, Chaillet & Bestor (1998): Transcription of IAP endogenous retroviruses is constrained by cytosine methylation.

Post-conference Athens. Wonder how many dictators passed through here before settling back into democracy

Happy to share two post-doc papers. We had amazing collaborators for both projects, even our supervisor @maxvcg.bsky.social joined in on the experimenting!

where we explore unconventional roles of 5mC in mouse genome regulation

I adore mining publicly available HTS data. Uploading it myself... not so much

I LOVE spaghetti (plots)

DNA methylation levels in the female and male germlines and their inheritance as maternal and paternal alleles in the developing embryo

I like scatterplots
