?? In The Spotlight
Interested in understanding the mutational signatures present in human cancer data? Delve into our most recent article, where we introduce the fundamental principles of mutational signature analysis
?? Featured Research
A new algorithm called SComatic detects somatic mutations in single-cell genetic data
A framework called SCimilarity has been developed to help researchers understand and compare cell types in single-cell RNA sequencing studies. SCimilarity creates a common representation for cell profiles
??? Latest Tools
A method called scProjection has been developed to accurately convert multi-modal single-cell RNA measurements into detailed single-cell gene expression profiles
The ARA pipeline is a user-friendly and flexible tool for exploring SRA database records using established NGS data processing tools, granting control over analysis steps and producing comprehensive summary files.
Flow is a web-based platform designed to help biologists overcome challenges in processing and sharing sequencing data. It offers a user-friendly interface and API that connects bioinformatic analysis and databases, while ensuring data security and control.
Sandy is an open-source simulator that generates synthetic reads mimicking DNA or RNA sequencing across different platforms. It's user-friendly and efficient, simulating various features like sequencing quality and genomic variations.
?? Community News
Ever wanted to peer inside Nextflow as it runs your pipeline? We play with an interactive debugger to do just that. Also, a first peek at a new Nextflow Ambassador program, plus a revamped hands-on Nextflow training course.
The Human Brain Project wraps up in September after a decade. Nature examines its achievements and its troubled past.

?? Upcoming Events
The University of Cambridge and EMBL-EBI are hosting a joint one-day computational biology meeting to explore collaborative research and future opportunities between the two institutions.
EMBL Heidelberg is organising the inaugural 'AI and Biology' symposium, which aims to facilitate collaborative interactions among AI researchers specialising in various subfields of biology.
This meeting assembles leaders in the field, together with junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, to discuss new, cutting-edge developments and techniques in single-cell analysis in bacterial, yeast, plant, and animal systems.
The NHS-R Community will be hosting its annual conference, including pre-conference online talks, online workshops and the main conference. The aim of the NHS-R Community is to promote the use of R (+ other open source solutions) to the health and care sector.
?? Educational Corner
Harvard Biostatistics 260 Introduction to Data Science starts next week. Course notes and exercises, updated weekly, are publicly available here.
This article focuses on the use of Linear Regression, a powerful model in machine learning, for predicting numerical outcomes based on independent variables.
Machine Learning University (MLU) provides anybody, anywhere, at any time access to the same machine learning courses used to train Amazon’s own developers on machine learning.
