We’ve all heard “bioinformatics is a growth area”, but I think the sheer number of job postings at #ABACBSGIW19 tell us something else: biology is now a quantitative science.

We don’t need more bioinformaticians. We need to realize that being biologist IS knowing bioinformatics

Introme: Identifying splice-altering variants as drivers of high-risk paediatric cancer, by Patricia Sullivan @PatSullivann from @UNSWScience

Only 70% of cancer-causing mutations have drug treatments available, so we’re still relying on radiation & chemo.

CFlensburg Qing Wang talking about variant calling from ion torrent data. Very low agreement between callsets from different methods. Especially mutect2 calls lots of variants. Consensus calling makes it more reliable. #ABACBSGIW19 0.9930268

Time difference means no streaming for me but I can still stalk the #ABACBSGIW19 #ABACBSGIW2019 Twitter feed https://t.co/xc4TyU8qJE.

Future work includes observing the dogs directly to validate what farmers have been saying about their dogs, and also reproducing the study in other breeds.

Nevertheless, this is a very rich resource for studying the relationship between genes and cognition.
