Pascale Daran-Lapujade at #PYFF9: NAD+/NADH is a shared bus for 100+ reactions, so electrons leak into by-products. Solution: give the product pathway its own private cofactor. Non-canonical redox cofactors in yeast – ambitious and very cool. ⚡

Ronald de Vries at #PYFF9: fungal sugar metabolism is far messier than KEGG suggests – many more enzymes per step, and orthologous regulators controlling different gene sets in different species.

What a wonderful talk by @schacherer.bsky.social ! How important are structural variants and how much is still hiden in genomics is fascinating. #PYFF9

Thanks to the i-COOP BioFrIONa project financed by @csic.es We are conducting a postgraduate course introducing Bioinformatics applied to agri-food Sciences at the Agronomy Faculty of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue (Neuquén, Argentina). This is such an incredible experience !!

When you are on a project meeting plus research short stay at the lab of a scientist friend AND that this friend is running for rector of his University, it is so so beautiful.

One of the priviledge of woking in research is to get to know people from very different places of the world. Let's have a couple of weeks of science and Bioinformatics in Argentina !!

What DNA variants alter transcription factor (TF) binding affinity? Here, we describe a new workflow baal-nf. We used it to trawl through 6017 ChIP-Seq data sets for 558 TFs and 46 genotyped cell lines, finding 298,783 allele-specific binding sites (ASBs). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/2
Description of image: Workflow for identifying high-quality ASBs through baal-nf. ChIP-sequencing data from genotyped cell lines is used to infer ASBs at heterozygous SNPs using BaalChIP. Identified ASBs are further characterized by mapping them to JASPAR and NoPeak motifs for a given TF. High-quality ASBs show concordance in the corrected allelic ratio and motif score difference.
