Release v1.1.0 · grp-bork/gunc Summary ^^^^^^^ This release adds support for two new reference databases (ProGenomes 3, GTDB r214) and a custom database option. A new gunc check subcommand validates your environment before submi...

@fullam.bsky.social has pushed a new #GUNC release, v1.1.0:

github.com/grp-bork/gun...

It fixes some bugs, updates some underlying databases and brings new features (e.g. you can now BYODB – bring your own database).

GUNC v1.1.0 is also live on #bioconda .

Just when the week is finishing, I accepted a PR to create a #bioconda package for pridepy github.com/PRIDE-Archiv.... Looks like #pridepy is now automatically integrated into pipelines. Thanks to Jonas Scheid for the PR.

This 'oversight' lasted 6 years, but with help from @finlaym.bsky.social we got CI working and updated all the databases. #bioconda #conda #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics

Result of an R-Script illustrating downregulation (shades of blue) in a Drosophila pathway. The dataset was small, the results not reliable, the biological interpretation not feasible.

@egonw a few days ago, I updated bumped the #Bioconda package of r-wikipathways to v1.30 . Thank you for this wonderful package!

Today, after quite some tinkering, I managed to overly differential expression results. This is not stable code, yet. The […]

Really nice summary by @angelp.bsky.social and @boofla.bsky.social about the work we've been doing to support #arm64 builds for #bioconda and #Nextflow over at @nf-co.re and @seqera.io

It feels like we're nearing the tipping point, what's not to love about greener more efficient computation? 🌱🍏

the last version is already in #bioconda

But the issue with the reference might be more severe. I just LOVE it, if things break in a course, which are supposed to work. For now:

Read alignment visualization with alignoth

Another major new #alignoth release is now available on #bioconda ⭐ Our read alignment plots now include a coverage plot on top as well as improved visualization of overlapping read pairs! Check out our interactive demo at alignoth.github.io/preview.html

Due to maintenance of the cluster I usually work on, only minor updates to the #SLURM plugin for #HPC compatible workflows could be made.

However, it now has better GPU support by generic resources. Already on #PyPi, soon on #Bioconda, too.

Super impressive work by @angelp.bsky.social and colleagues at AWS / ARM on porting #Bioconda packages to #arm64 - there's potential for some big savings on compute as we scale this up!

Check out the @nf-co.re #arm64 channel for more and to get involved in the effort...

Do you work in #bioinformatics, love #conda & #bioconda, but didn't know how to start adding (or debugging) your/someone else's software to it?

Here's a three-part (opinionated) guide for the #microbifinie blog on just that, based on my own experiences!
