by Michael Charleston 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

Hello again, If you have struggled with the excruciating pressure of the much earlier-than-usual deadline for Phylomania this year (because we're teaming up with the bigger ABACBS and COMBINE conference), fear not, for the good news of today is that the deadline has been extended by two more weeks: The main conference website is at https://www.abacbs.org/conference2021/, but go to https://www.abacbs.org/conference2021/important-dates and you shall see this welcome text: Submission due date: 20th September (Monday) 4th October (Monday) Go on, you know you want to . Best wishes Mike Michael Charleston [cid:e9d8e4fe-9896-42cc-a855-2f1b2d5ef894] Mathematical Biology Group Professor in Bioinformatics School of Natural Sciences University of Tasmania AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 3 6226 2444 This email is confidential, and is for the intended recipient only.

DADA2

Hi everyone, Is anyone using the DADA2 script for processing MiSeq data? I have a student who is running into problems and having someone else who has used it and has another perspective on it to talk to would be very helpful. I am also new to DADA... Please let me know if you have time to chat to Bri and I'll ask her to contact you directly. Thanks, Shane University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

FW: Postdoc opening! Bayesian evolutionary algorithms for the analysis of B cell receptor (i.e. antibody) sequence lineages
by Jeremy Sumner 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Dear all, See below for a post-doc opportunity with Erick Matsen’s group. Cheers Jeremy From: Erick Matsen <ematsen(a)gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, 20 January 2021 8:35 AM To: Erick Matsen <ematsen(a)gmail.com> Subject: Postdoc opening! Bayesian evolutionary algorithms for the analysis of B cell receptor (i.e. antibody) sequence lineages Dear Colleague-- I hope you are doing as well as could be hoped for given the circumstances, and I apologize for the mass email. We have a postdoc opening! Here's the headline: The goal of our project is to develop, implement, and apply Bayesian evolutionary algorithms for the analysis of B cell receptor sequence lineages. These lineages are important for understanding the events leading to the development of high-affinity antibodies. We are motivated to: * use a Bayesian approach to appropriately account for uncertainty in phylogenetic inferences (which is considerable in this case) * fit and use complex models of somatic hypermutation and selection that violate the commonly-applied IID assumption in phylogenetics * develop efficient, elegant, and robust implementations of the newly developed methodology and make them available in open-source software for the community. Here's the full description: https://matsen.fredhutch.org/general/2021/01/15/bcell-postdoc.html<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/GOAmCjZryVCq99xoCWC4yf?domain=matsen.fred…> If you know any trainees who might be interested in working in this area, please let me know! I also note that we may have a slot to work on variational Bayes approaches to phylogenetics, but that will be dependent on funding. Nevertheless, if you know someone who would be interested in helping build fundamentally new approaches to Bayesian phylogenetics, I'd be happy to get to know them! Members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Thank you, Erick -- Frederick "Erick" Matsen (he/him) Professor, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://matsen.fredhutch.org/<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Z-9UCk8vzVfQNNJ2tVM9zk?domain=matsen.fred…> University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

Wild and Comparative Immunology 2020
by Andy Flies 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Hello all, In 2019 we held the inaugural Wild and Comparative Immunology (WACI) workshop in Hobart. Our in person workshop discussions led to a 'Rewilding immunology<https://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6499/37>' Perspective article in Science from our WACI consortium. This year we are totally online and have 33 speakers and over 135 people registered from 12 countries (https://www.wacimmuno.com/program/). There are still two days left to register for the 2020 Wild and Comparative Immunology workshop (https://www.wacimmuno.com/registration-2020/) and there is no fee this year. In 2021 we hope to get back to in person workshops, and will be supported as an Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology (ASI) special interest group.

Hi All, I have a PhD scholarship (AUD$28,092/year full time for 3.5 years) available for a project co-supervised by Mike Charleston and Tim Brodribb focussing on how plants regulate their own water loss. We are looking for a student who has completed Honours in molecular biology, bioinformatics, plant physiology or genetics who is currently in Australia/NZ. A plant science background is not essential. If you know of any current or previous students who may be interested or other relevant networks where this could be shared, please let me know or feel welcome to forward these details on directly. Full details here: https://www.utas.edu.au/research/degrees/available-phd-projects/phd-project… Many thanks, Frances ________________________ Dr Frances Sussmilch Biological Sciences School of Natural Sciences University of Tasmania Private bag 55, Hobart 7001 Tasmania, Australia Ph: (+61) 03 6226 7583 Fax: (+61) 03 6226 2698 University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).
