Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:
To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:
The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.

🧵#Bioinformatics applications, a THREAD🧵🧵:
One of the key areas of #bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the analysis of large #datasets of biological information, such as #genomic, #proteomic, and #metabolomic data.
#Genomic data provides information about the entire genetic makeup of a #biological system, including the #sequences of all its genes and the #regulation of their e#xpression.

New paper just accepted at @SciReports w. @hauselin + @minzlicht!🥳👀Cognitive Effort for Self, Strangers and Charity #scicomm #science #psychology. Building from work by @thepsychologist on physical effort 💪 we examined decisons to invest mental effort for self and others🧠.🧵
Participants repeatedly chose to invest effort or not in exchange for money for themselves, for a charity they selected, or for a stranger, making 75 choices for each. They then added a number (e.g. 3) to 4 digits for a higher reward 💰, or added 0 for a lower baseline reward 🪙. On each trial, the target (...
We examined their revealed preferences to determine how participants subjectively valued their own cognitive effort when working for themselves, a charity, and a stranger. #econtwitter Like physical effort, people avoided mental effort, and were more willing to work for the self. Proportion of trials where ...

Can computational methods assess the #sentiment of complex texts? In an article with my fabulous colleagues from the @WZB_Berlin, @unipotsdam @LMU_Muenchen @JungeAkademie, we answer this question by applying #dictionary and #scaling methods on a sample of #literature reviews🧵
The article is also a practical #guide to help researchers select an appropriate #method and degree of preprocessing for their own data. Our #corpus consisted of 6.041 summaries of reviews of contemporary German #literature acquired from @perlentaucher00 (2/9)
The linguistic #complexity of #literature reviews differ from other texts with regard to their #language-- ambiguity, irony, metaphors, etc.-- are comparatively difficult to capture with #computational approaches. So how did our different methods fare? (3/9)

1/ Excited to share how T cell therapies kill #leukemia!! multi-omics + new #computational #singlecell tools for longitudinal analysis 👉unexpected answer! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

*👏* @elhamazizi! 🙏 @dpeer Cathy Wu @MDAndersonNews @CPRITTexas @ColumbiaBME @sloan_kettering
2/ We studied donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) - an #Immunotherapy for relapsed #leukemia after #BMT & the #og of #celltherapy. Previously, we showed DLI reversed T cell exhaustion - but didn't know why/how/which T cells were responsible...
ashpublications.org/blood/article/…
3/ To address these ?'s, we modeled intraleukemic T cell dynamics by integrating longitudinal, multimodal data from ~100K T cells (!) during response (R) or resistance (NR: nonresponder) to DLI.

And so it begins @ThomasAastrup 🤓🤓🤓
Det her fortjener sin helt egen artikel ift verserende dagsordener om teknologiforståelse, computational thinking og fremtidens arbejdsmarked - skolen er netop for det modsatte - teknologifantasien, -forestillingen & -forundringen -at putte teknologien på bordet og undres med den
Teknologifantasi som en indre fabuleren af mulige dystopier og utopier frem mod en ønskværdig verden & teknologikreation som en ydre fabrikation af verdener frem-stillet som dialoger, udkast og værker:en form for teknologileg og -filosofi på kanten af verden

Hello #dendrites friends! Check out our new paper, published at @NatureComms : "Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage neural networks. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Briefly, we predicted through #computational simulations that the #dendrites of #Fast_spiking #interneurons in #Hippocampal #CA3 and #PFC areas come in two #nonlinear flavors: Supralinear and sublinear!
This bimodal nonlinear behavior is determined by differences in the morphology (volume) of the dendritc branches. These differences can causally enable or prohibit the existence of #sodium_spikes. Interestingly, both types coexist in all model neurons tested!
