Professor of Biostatistics at CUNY SPH, rstat / Bioconductor enthusiast, cancer genomics/metagenomics, proud HPV OSCC cancer survivor.https://bsky.app/profile/leviwaldron1.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/leviwaldron1.bsky.social/post/3lijpoizsic2bExcited to share our MicrobiomeBenchmarkData preprint, addressing compositional data analysis for microbiome DA. This Bioconductor package features 3 datasets with biological ground truths. Spoiler: simple methods like LEfSe, Wilcoxon, RNA-seq methods performed well https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.13.638109v119 Feb 2025 11:53 +0000at://did:plc:4a2uu4vglkmrz2fa74jdl7ub/app.bsky.feed.post/3lijpoizsic2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/leviwaldron1.bsky.social/post/3knixvv6css2jVery kind blog post from my Outreachy mentee Peace Sandy about the journey to closing her first issue on an open-source software project! https://peacesandy.hashnode.dev/my-outreachy-internship-with-bioconductor12 Mar 2024 14:28 +0000at://did:plc:4a2uu4vglkmrz2fa74jdl7ub/app.bsky.feed.post/3knixvv6css2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/leviwaldron1.bsky.social/post/3kmx4csofvp2vReported a duplicated figure to PubPeer - discovered via bugsigdb.org which re-codes published signatures in an analyzable format. Identical signatures are easy to spot as outliers as typical overlap between independently discovered signatures is nowhere near 100% https://pubpeer.com/publications/7E0FAAAD2500DE47A4F260013516F1#105 Mar 2024 11:59 +0000at://did:plc:4a2uu4vglkmrz2fa74jdl7ub/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmx4csofvp2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/leviwaldron1.bsky.social/post/3kmx35aamtn2dSo impressed by outreachy.org 's reach and competitive applicant screening that connected me with a remarkably talented and hard-working intern from Nigeria for a highly productive 3-month paid internship.
