🧵🧵 THREAD: 10 reasons why #bioinformaticians should use #Nextflow 🧵🧵
1. #Nextflow is an open-source platform for #bioinformatics #pipelines and #workflows, designed to make them #scalable, #reproducible, and #portable.
2. #Nextflow allows #bioinformaticians to write their #pipelines and #workflows in a simple and expressive domain-specific language, called #Nextflow Script.
🎉New preprint! @LauraKremer20 and I looked at four different gene knockouts in mt.5024C>T mice to investigate how #autophagy affects #mtDNA heteroplasmy inheritance. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

To what extent is germline purifying selection driven by autophagy? We looked at the mother-to-pup heteroplasmy shift in high-heteroplasmy mice carrying Parkin, Bcl2l13, Ulk1, and Ulk2 knockouts, as well as two separate control populations. 2/ 
While previously Filograna et al. (2019) @RobertaFilogra2 show TFAM overexpression can lead to higher maximal tolerated heteroplasmy, this was not the case for our autophagy knockouts. We saw no knockout mice with H>80%, despite having 120+ pups in each group. 3/
Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)
It's 221 pages - each PDF page is a double page spread - so this could be a lo-o-o-ong [Thread].
Here goes...

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...
"185 wide-ranging recommendations for us to explore", says @sajidjavid (p6). Gulp! Time for some coffee...

I am delighted that, after years of collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts, our work is finally out nature.com/articles/s4146…
A joint effort with a wonderful team of colleagues (@ico2s , @portabolomics) spanning software engineering (@nocoffeenocode), synthetic biology & environmental microbiology (@vdlorenzo_CNB) and social sciences (@LPelechova , @PEALSncl )
We take a small but important step in developing tools for #OpenScience and more #reproducible strain engineering.
Fresh thread to intersect other three threads on scientific nature of research: Read on
How reproducible is a research work of the Mahabharata?
Can it be reproduced as people say or is that not true?
Let us see.

First we have to ask:
How does someone reach a year like 5561BCE for their year of the Mahabharata?
Is it because of the triangulation of Jupiter or Saturn or indeed Mars?

For example in 3067BCE we have a biangulation of Saturn at Rohini (137 points )and Mars retrograde before reaching Jyestha/Anuradha (brings it down to 19 points) and then lunar eclipse precedes solar eclipse to bring it down to two points.
Can 5561BCE reproduce this sort of path?

I didn't know you can use #rstats to make #reproducible conference posters! Cool and useful! Would love to see some examples!
Ah, there's a showcase of examples here: github.com/brentthorne/po…
Here's one example, looks pretty comparable to making it in PowerPoint, keynote or illustrator: pbs.twimg.com/media/DyokdeEX…
