🧵#Bioinformatics and its impact on #healthcare, a THREAD🧵🧵:
#Bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the analysis of #biological data, such as #DNA sequences and #protein #structures.
In #healthcare, #bioinformatics is used to gain insights into the #genetic basis of diseases, and to develop new #diagnostic tests and #treatments.
Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:
To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:
The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.
1. #Bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the #analysis of #biological #data, such as #sequences, #structures, and #interactions, and is an essential field of modern biology and medicine.
2. #Bioinformatics has many exciting applications in various fields, such as #genetics, #genomics, #proteomics, and #metabolomics, that can provide new insights into the workings of living systems, and can help to advance science and society.
🧵🧵 THREAD: 9 tips for successful #bioinformatics #projects 🧵🧵
1. Start by defining the aim, scope, and objectives of your project, and by identifying the #biological and #computational questions you want to answer.
2. Identify the #data sources, types, and formats, that are relevant and available for your project, and evaluate their quality, quantity, and suitability.
🧵#Bioinformatics applications, a THREAD🧵🧵:
One of the key areas of #bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the analysis of large #datasets of biological information, such as #genomic, #proteomic, and #metabolomic data.
#Genomic data provides information about the entire genetic makeup of a #biological system, including the #sequences of all its genes and the #regulation of their e#xpression.
New paper just accepted at @SciReports w. @hauselin + @minzlicht!🥳👀Cognitive Effort for Self, Strangers and Charity #scicomm #science #psychology. Building from work by @thepsychologist on physical effort 💪 we examined decisons to invest mental effort for self and others🧠.🧵
Participants repeatedly chose to invest effort or not in exchange for money for themselves, for a charity they selected, or for a stranger, making 75 choices for each. They then added a number (e.g. 3) to 4 digits for a higher reward 💰, or added 0 for a lower baseline reward 🪙. 
We examined their revealed preferences to determine how participants subjectively valued their own cognitive effort when working for themselves, a charity, and a stranger. #econtwitter Like physical effort, people avoided mental effort, and were more willing to work for the self.
Can computational methods assess the #sentiment of complex texts? In an article with my fabulous colleagues from the @WZB_Berlin, @unipotsdam @LMU_Muenchen @JungeAkademie, we answer this question by applying #dictionary and #scaling methods on a sample of #literature reviews🧵
The article is also a practical #guide to help researchers select an appropriate #method and degree of preprocessing for their own data. Our #corpus consisted of 6.041 summaries of reviews of contemporary German #literature acquired from @perlentaucher00 (2/9)
The linguistic #complexity of #literature reviews differ from other texts with regard to their #language-- ambiguity, irony, metaphors, etc.-- are comparatively difficult to capture with #computational approaches. So how did our different methods fare? (3/9)
1/ Excited to share how T cell therapies kill #leukemia!! multi-omics + new #computational #singlecell tools for longitudinal analysis 👉unexpected answer! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

2/ We studied donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) - an #Immunotherapy for relapsed #leukemia after #BMT & the #og of #celltherapy. Previously, we showed DLI reversed T cell exhaustion - but didn't know why/how/which T cells were responsible...

3/ To address these ?'s, we modeled intraleukemic T cell dynamics by integrating longitudinal, multimodal data from ~100K T cells (!) during response (R) or resistance (NR: nonresponder) to DLI.
🎉CELEBRATION ALERT!! We reached 10K followers @NatureCancer - massive thank you to our wonderful community for the warm welcome! Given it is also 10 months of our online life, here are some of our best articles (although all are *fantastic*) #thread 1/n

Det her fortjener sin helt egen artikel ift verserende dagsordener om teknologiforståelse, computational thinking og fremtidens arbejdsmarked - skolen er netop for det modsatte - teknologifantasien, -forestillingen & -forundringen -at putte teknologien på bordet og undres med den
Teknologifantasi som en indre fabuleren af mulige dystopier og utopier frem mod en ønskværdig verden & teknologikreation som en ydre fabrikation af verdener frem-stillet som dialoger, udkast og værker:en form for teknologileg og -filosofi på kanten af verden

Hello #dendrites friends! Check out our new paper, published at @NatureComms : "Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage neural networks. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Briefly, we predicted through #computational simulations that the #dendrites of #Fast_spiking #interneurons in #Hippocampal #CA3 and #PFC areas come in two #nonlinear flavors: Supralinear and sublinear!
This bimodal nonlinear behavior is determined by differences in the morphology (volume) of the dendritc branches. These differences can causally enable or prohibit the existence of #sodium_spikes. Interestingly, both types coexist in all model neurons tested!
