Gene Pooling

A new bioRxiv preprint, Epigenetic Intelligence: How Organisms Track Their Environment Through Molecular Memory, offers a powerful conceptual framework for understanding how organisms use epigenetic mechanisms to dynamically respond to environmental change   Authored by Holly V. Moeller, Hollie Putnam, Ross Cunning, Steven B. Roberts, Jose Eirin-Lopez, and Roger Nisbet, this perspective bridges theory and biology to […]

In Episode three we show you how to take a GitHub issue – delegate to CoPilot, AND revise the action it took. Then we merge the pull request to the main branch. All on the web. Here a markdown file was edited and two PDFs were downloaded and added to repo. Difficulty: 1/5 🙂 #aa

Episode 02: Here we explore the OpenAI Codex tool that can work in a similar matter of what we saw with GitHub Co-pilot on the web. Coding changes can be requested and then a pull request can be made. If in fact you and your team is satisfied with the changes the pull request can […]

The team discussed running and testing a Python package for contex dependence analysis, with successful installation and demonstration of its output capabilities for generating HTML reports. They explored various aspects of gene expression data analysis, including correlations between different molecular types and the limitations of their current model in handling genomic data. The team also […]

This post details the resazurin trials conducted at VIMS on Day 4 with C. virginica oyster families. The primary goal of these trials is to test whether metabolic rate corresponds to oyster performance once they are outplanted into the field, by correlating resazurin data with predicted and observed performance values. Here’s a summary of the key aspects from the […]
