Sequence Homology Vs Sequence Similarity 🧬🧬🧬 Unlocking the distinction between sequence homology and similarity in bioinformatics is crucial for accurate analysis and interpretation of genetic data. While these terms are often used interchangeably, their misuse can lead to misconceptions and flawed conclusions. Understanding the subtle differences between homology, which implies a common ancestral relationship inferred from sequence similarity, and similarity, which is directly observed from sequence alignment, is paramount. By recognizing and appropriately utilizing these concepts, researchers can enhance the reliability and precision of their genomic analyses, ultimately advancing our understanding of genetic relationships and evolutionary patterns. 🧬🧬 #Bioinformatics #Genomics #Genetic #Data

📍Follow us around MIT’s Kendall Square, one of the world’s centers for scientific innovation and discovery, where we ask #scientists about the challenges they face while conducting some of the world's most important research. Pioneering work requires groundbreaking solutions. 📣Coming early February: Evoke more dimensions and increase confidence in your multiomic data. #ScientificInnovations #epigenetics #genetics

On April 25th, 🧬 National DNA Day 🧬 is observed in the United States, marking significant milestones such as the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003🥼🔬and the groundbreaking discovery of DNA's double helix structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953🧬. The day serves as an opportunity to educate the public about genetics, genomics, and the profound influence of DNA on science, health, and society. #DNA #Biotechnology #Science #HumanGenomeProject #Genetics

Just submitted the VEBA 2.0 manuscript for peer-review. This is basically 8 years of microbial ecology experience wrapped up into a single software suite that I use to analyze genome-resolved prokaryotic, eukaryotic, and viral (meta-)genomics/transcriptomics.
