šŸ§µ#Bioinformatics in #drug #discovery and development, a THREADšŸ§µšŸ§µ:
#Bioinformatics is playing an increasingly important role in the discovery and development of new #drugs. In this thread, we'll explore how #bioinformatics is being used to identify new targets for drug intervention and optimize drug design.
One key aspect of #bioinformatics in drug discovery is the identification of potential #drug #targets.

Examples from our Protein Common Assembly Db now on @biorxiv_bioinfo with @QifangXu. Viable assemblies for all Xray structures (EPPIC, @josemduarte), clustered w/ cryoEM, NMR assemblies by Pfam architectures + stoichiometry+ symmetry + interfaces. @buildmodels @PDBeurope @pdbj_en
We count "Crystal forms (CFs)" - unique crystal unit cells or cryo-EM or NMR experiments for each cluster, and number of uniprot sequences across each cluster. More experimental data --> more support for relevance of biological assembly. Also #PDB's bioassemblies, PISA, EPPIC.
PCNA example from 1st tweet. Largest cluster (#8) of Pfam arch (PCNA_N)_(PCNA_C) has 28 crystal forms (CFs) out of 36 CFs for this Pfam architecture in whole in PDB (78%). 19 UNPs of 23 in whole PDB (83%). 55 entries of 64 in whole PDB (86%).

.@PressSec starts of briefing says neither the front page of the @nytimes nor the White House podium is a venue "for discussing classified information"

"We are here having this discussion today because of an irresponsible, anonymous leak"
"There is no good scenario as a result of this New York Times report" per @PressSec

"Who's going to want to cooperate w/the United States intelligence community? Who's going to want to be a source or an asset if they know that their identity could be disclosed"
NEW: "This report makes it more difficult to come to a consensus on this matter" @PressSec says of report on alleged #Russia|n bounties

She also warns, "This level of controversy & discord plays directly into the hands of #Russia & unfortunately serves their interests"

#MDSI2019 Day2 Session 2: "Standardization of file format I/O" by @jppiquem.

Straight into problems -- input files are a tougher cookie to crack than output šŸŖ
Actually, Day 2 Session 3 #hasphdcantcount
#Input: Many problems -- many possible solutions! How to find the right one? #goldilocks

#Output: probably easier to handle and we can learn from other fields, like climate research.

1/ #Django will use watchman to do autoreload if it's installed since 2.2. The default reloader runs stat on all the files in your project once per second, whereas watchman will use os file system events, which is much more efficient.
2/ I never cared about this until I spent an afternoon figuring out why Docker for Mac's hyperkit process sits on 120% - 150% cpu use while running my mid sized django project in a container.
3/ i used 'docker stats' to deduce which container, then 'top' and 'ps auxf' to work out which python process was the problem. Then did a thread dump of the django server using faulthandler.dump_traceback() triggered from an API call, and then 'docker log'

If youā€™ve ever wondered why one of the most secretive organizations in the world is committed to #transparency, or how we go about protecting Americanā€™s privacy & civil liberties, keep reading.

bit.ly/2Wne9JO
Ben Huebner runs CIAā€™s Privacy & Civil Liberties Office.

His job is to look at our programs & practices to make sure weā€™re living up to our commitment to safeguard Americanā€™s privacy & civil liberties.

Heā€™s also leading CIAā€™s efforts to increase #transparency.
CIAā€™s mission & the safety of the men & women who contribute to it will always require certain information to be #classified.

The key is there needs to be a real, identifiable, justifiable reason why that fact, that method, or that source needs to remain secret.

#PDB is primary vehicle for summarizing day-to-day sensitive intel & analysis for @WhiteHouse on current & future national security issues.
Style, format & presentation of #PDB are based on preferences of @POTUS. Mr. Obama asked for it electronically. Image
Mr. Nixon, once practicing attorney, liked to review #PDB on long legal size paper. This format was carried into the Ford administration.
