My probably wrong 2c is that I once spent a long time in a similar situation to learn that .yaml and .yml were treated very differently by the program I was using, and to check the filenames or extensions between working and non-working aren't the issue in some weird way

Glad to see impact, significance, design as evaluation criteria. I once had a submission rejected from JOSS because my software had too few lines of code (still a little salty about that one). Good move all around ๐Ÿ‘ blog.joss.theoj.org/2026/01/prep...

Thatโ€™s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldnโ€™t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social

I enjoyed making this with you all much more than this photo would imply - I did not know we were linking arms! #wasmodic #abacbs2025

It's not just because @torstenseemann.bsky.social is a bioinformatics legend but this may be my favourite #abacbs2025 poster because I'm a #trek tragic ๐Ÿ––

Thanks to the amazing Adelaide Bioinformatics community for making #ABACBS2025 an amazing event. We couldnโ€™t have done it without you. A few more days of workshops to go before the festival finishes for another year ๐Ÿ˜€

Awesome talk by @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social one detecting fusions in single cells with probes designed for 10X Flex. If I do say so myself ๐Ÿ˜œ #ABACBS2025

Haha Thanks! Putting the โ€œTed Lasso of Australian Bioinformaticsโ€ on my speaker bio!

I wasnโ€™t going to single you out in my speech @hdashnow.bsky.social but our @combine1.bsky.social shenanigans are a big part of my success!

The beauty of Old Conference Twitter was the combination of making the event feel more connected and the reach beyond the conference to those following along at home - thanks for bringing that back @notjustdna.bsky.social

Perl reference may or may not be on #confBingo but @torstenseemann.bsky.social was the first thing I though of when that language was mentioned. Congratulations? #abacbs2025

Cancer Bioinformatics Australia was proud to be a supporting partner at #abacbs2025 and sponsor the Cancer and Molecular Medicine session.

For more cancer bioinformatics, follow us for updates on CBA which will be held in Brisbane in 2026

#confbingo Michael Hall with a bold choice in a lightning talk to ask for largest genome size - but it gets me a square ! #abacbs2025

@jovmaksimovic.bsky.social can't post right now on account of being up next - "Easily" capturing cancer fusions at single-cell resolution. The probe based 10X flex data as a great candidate for detecting fusions!
