Lorne Genome 2027 will be held 14 to 17th February in Lorne Australia. Our invited speakers will include Karen Arndt, Neil Brockdorff, Laura Banaszynski and Fides Zenk.

The almost best thing about this is that Bioinformatics Twitter is back!

Super excited to be launching two things today: #RustQC 🦀🧬 and rewrites.bio 🚀 I used AI to rewrite 15 RNA-seq QC tools into a single Rust binary (I've never written any Rust). It ended up being over 60x faster. Here's the story 🧵 seqeralabs.github.io/RustQC/

Irrespective of the validity of any of the arguments in this announcement (posit.co/blog/introdu...), this is how it *feels*

Some background to this, and an example I think of Phil's attitudes towards fostering students and encouraging others. I never got a chance to meet Phil in person, but will share his act of generosity that helped myself and @hdashnow.bsky.social and I think had in indelible mark on our careers. 1/8

'Phil was also the founding Editor-in-Chief of PLOS Computational Biology, where he created the beloved Ten Simple Rules series. He was so prolific in the series that the meta-article “Ten Simple Rules for Writing a PLOS Ten Simple Rules Article” literally includes, as Rule 4: “Be Philip E. Bourne.”

New version of our preprint on bioRxiv about bioRxiv up. Now that’s what I call a revision – 6 years after the first version! It has new data about our progress and highlights from a massive user survey. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We’re proud to celebrate Dr Aparna Rao, Dr Deborah Meyran and Associate Professor Safeera Hussainy, who have been awarded the 2026 Lea Medals. Read more: www.petermac.org/about-us/new...

Join the local Melbourne #illumina Field Apps team to specialise in #Bioinformatics. It's a great team, you get to play with #DRAGEN and help customers get the best data for analysis. #genomics #multiomics #singlecell #spatial #transcriptome #epigenetics bit.ly/46o4sRj I can refer the right folks.

2026 Winner of the Lorne Genome Julian Wells Medal: Christine Wells (no relation!) @stemcellsystems.bsky.social congratulations, well deserved!!

Almost literally too late, but here is a feed for BlueSky to collate #LorneGenome posts that blends mentions of Lorne + Genome along with posts from @lornegenome.bsky.social Should still work next year though! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Emotional rollercoaster at #LorneGenome today: - adipose tissue remembers being overweight in the transcriptome, nudging you back to weight gain after a loss - Meerkats reproductive success correlates with higher body mass I’m sure there is a lesson in there somewhere

Can only tag @antobeck.bsky.social here on BlueSky to say that the #Illumina coffee cart is once again the quiet hero of #LorneGenome

We’re hiring: Research Group Leader in computational biology. Are you generating more research ideas than you can explore? Lead cutting-edge AI & biology research at EMBL-EBI. Apply by 11 April 2026: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j... #ScienceCareers @ewaldlab.org @embl.org

New blog post! nf-core and AI https://nf-co.re/blog/2026/statement-on-ai/

Glad to see impact, significance, design as evaluation criteria. I once had a submission rejected from JOSS because my software had too few lines of code (still a little salty about that one). Good move all around 👏 blog.joss.theoj.org/2026/01/prep...

Every guide to GenAI in research ends up being: And now that you know how it's done……. Don't do it.

📣 Save The Date for Cancer Bioinformatics Australia 2026! 📣 CBA will be back in 2026 on June 5th, this time in Brisbane! It will feature oral and poster presentations, networking opportunities, and high-profile invited national and international speakers. Further info: cancerbioinformatics.au

That’s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social

It's not just because @torstenseemann.bsky.social is a bioinformatics legend but this may be my favourite #abacbs2025 poster because I'm a #trek tragic 🖖

Thanks to the amazing Adelaide Bioinformatics community for making #ABACBS2025 an amazing event. We couldn’t have done it without you. A few more days of workshops to go before the festival finishes for another year 😀

Awesome talk by @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social one detecting fusions in single cells with probes designed for 10X Flex. If I do say so myself 😜 #ABACBS2025

Thanks for nominating me!

PeterMac @petermaccc.bsky.social representing at #abacbs2025 What a community 😍

#abacbs2025 social media award goes to @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social 🎉

Perl reference may or may not be on #confBingo but @torstenseemann.bsky.social was the first thing I though of when that language was mentioned. Congratulations? #abacbs2025

Cancer Bioinformatics Australia was proud to be a supporting partner at #abacbs2025 and sponsor the Cancer and Molecular Medicine session. For more cancer bioinformatics, follow us for updates on CBA which will be held in Brisbane in 2026
