3/7/2023or, some details of how sourmash and FracMinHash work! Consider overlaps between k-mers extracted from three genomes - two that share sequence, and one that does not. From these we can calculate k-mer based similarity measures (Jaccard similarity and containment). FracMinHash sketching compresses k-mer collections while retaining set relationships This is implemented in the software sourmash.
9/1/2022We seek current postdocs (or graduating PhD students) at UC Davis to join a small team of staff and researchers to do training and engagement as part of the NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE). This opportunity may be of particular interest to postdocs who are seeking industry positions in biotech and would like hands-on experience and training in online training, asynchronous projects, GitHub-based material development, workflow execution, and cloud computing. Unfortunately this opportunity is limited to those who are already employed at UC Davis but whose funding is expiring. Applicants must be eligible for an extension to their postdoc position; we can also potentially hire newly graduated PhDs and PhD students on filing fee. Please contact us if you are interested. Details The NIH CFDE Training and Engagement Team runs a number of hands-on training workshops; you can see our current set of materials here and here. We are interested in recruiting postdocs to help in delivering, evaluating, maintaining, and extending these lessons. In return, we will train you in a variety of computational techniques and project management approaches! The supervisor/PI is C. Titus Brown.
10/26/2021Advertisement On Feb 3rd, 2021 from 2:10pm PST, Titus Brown will be doing a livestream showing how to use conda to install bioinformatics software on the farm HPC. The stream will be on twitch, at https://www.twitch.tv/ctitusbrown, and he will be taking questions there. The stream will be recorded and the recording will be linked to this document. Attendance is free and you only need a (free) twitch account if you want to ask questions. The recording is now available, here! What is conda? Per https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/, conda: provides package, dependency and environment management for any language—Python, R, Ruby, Lua, Scala, Java, JavaScript, C/ C++, FORTRAN, and more.
