Reposted by Olga BotvinnikNextflow @nextflow.io · 15/05/2025@olgabot.bsky.social, CEO & Founder at @seanome.bsky.social, just gave an insightful talk on her vision to create the best protein annotator for any organism using @nf-co.re, supporting efforts to better understand global biodiversity through large-scale sequencing. 🌍🧬 133
Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Grateful to share progress on @seanome.bsky.social's open-source software for unlocking the breakthrough potential of 43 billion ocean animal genes with the talented researchers at @stanford.edu University's Center for Computational, Evolutionary and Human Genomics (CEHG)! 030
Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Had so much fun on the Nextflow podcast! Great reminiscing about the early days of #nfcore and talking about how we're building the best #protein annotator for #biodiversity at @seanome.bsky.social 042
Reposted by Olga BotvinnikPhil Ewels @ewels.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Really happy to get stuck in to the #Nextflow #Podcast again for 2025! 🎙️🎉 First episode is with @olgabot.bsky.social, we chat about just how little we really know about proteins out in the natural environment. See below for links + writeup + transcript, listen on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts 🎧 001
Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 06/03/2025#Academic friends, what's the current best practices for writing openly available papers? Is Manubot (manubot.org) still the best thing? Living Papers (idl.uw.edu/living-paper...) looks cool but seems fairly new and untestedmanubot.orgManubot - Manuscripts, open and automatedA tool set and workflow for scholarly publishing that is open, collaborative, continuous, automated, reproducible, and free. 140
Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 23/01/2025💪 Career milestone achieved: First podcast appearance! So grateful to Rob Kalwarowsky for the opportunity to share my vision of @seanome.bsky.social as building open genomics tools to unlock access to 43 billion molecular solutions from #ocean #biodiversity when we've only catalogued 8,000 🤯 030

Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It's not fair ... imaging is inherently cool looking. With #genomics, the best we have are sequence logos 010
Olga Botvinnik @olgabot.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Had so much fun learning about bird genomics, what the "RIO" movie got right, and how mammals have model organism #privilege (haha) from Taylor Haines (UChicago/Field Museum) at @nanoporetech.com's ORG.one session #PAG32 261

Trust the data, allowing it to change your direction, 3. Trust the data, but not too much: test with new data at every turn. 37210
