#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible! Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance!🚀🌱 Small🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very useful piece for everyone, not just for scientists.....I feared presenting my research to an audience—until I tried stand-up comedy | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/…

This isn't science fiction. This is real sequencing biotechnology just introduced by Roche. Wild and wonderful.

Having a clear plan for a data analysis and visualization project is crucial. It ensures efficient resource utilization, timely insights, and accurate interpretation of findings, leading to informed decision-making. Here are the typical steps of a data analysis and visualization project in R programming: 1️⃣ Data Import: Gather your data into R, setting the stage for later steps. 2️⃣ Data Manipulation: Prepare your data for analysis and visualization. 3️⃣ Descriptive Statistics: Calculate key data characteristics to understand your data better. 4️⃣ Inferential Statistics: Dive deeper into your data, validate hypotheses, and make informed decisions. 5️⃣ Results Visualization: Showcase your findings with compelling visuals to communicate the impact of your analysis effectively. Explore my webinar, where we'll dive deeper into these steps. More details are available at this link: statisticsglobe.com/webinar-… #StatisticalAnalysis #Data #datasciencetraining #datastructure

It was awesome to have on our summer team Jacob! Hope we convinced you that plant pathogens are as cool (and nasty) as human pathogens. We wish you all the best! Thanks to @TPhytopath for serving as his mentor. @UMNPlantPath @CFANS_NWROC
