Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach at Discovery Place yesterday. We had 171 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about diseases and immune responses. At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #microsky #bats #Stem Great job team!

Most RNA-seq pipelines are doing this wrong. They run differential expression… and stop there. You’re leaving biological signal on the table. I built pygage to fix that 👇 pip install pygage #Bioinformatics #rnaseq #computation #computationalbiology
