Computational genomics 2019 is done! Next year we will be here @cshlcourses December 2nd - 9th. Come learn the how and why of computational genomics and analyze your own data! Thanks to all the students and lecturers for another great course!

[James Taylor @jxtx]

@DNAstack @bffo If those are the terms why not just release the data as CC-BY in the first place?

[James Taylor @jxtx]

@bffo @nextstrain Apparently you do. I thought this was settled decades ago. But here we are.

[James Taylor @jxtx]

Can we talk about genomic data sharing for #covid19 #SARSCoV2 research?

[Björn Grüning @bjoerngruening]

The #Europe #usegalaxy server has processed more than 400.000 jobs in March!

Meanwhile @nextstrain is getting their data from https://t.co/PTpGAqwdq1 which has much more data, ~700 strains, but onerous restrictions on data use and sharing, in particular does not allow sharing any sequence data.

@dmaccannell @jxtx Are these guardrails helping to make the #COVID19 response more equitable?

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

I don’t think people are digesting the fact that our President did NOTHING to stop coronavirus and is now saying 200,000 deaths would be a success.

It arrived in South Korea ON THE SAME FUCKING DAY as the US, they took it very seriously and in total only *158* people have died.

new @biorRxiv paper from @JenniferLu717 showing how Kraken2 and Braken are 100s of times faster (!) and just as accurate as the leading system for 16S metagenomics analysis.

I believe Anita Hill.

I believe Dr. Ford.

I believe Tara Reade.

Very briefly, the reason why "the richest country on Earth" is having critical shortages of crucial medical equipment is the same reason why it's so rich - because "the country" isn't what's rich. It's just the rich that are rich.

And they got there by plundering the world.

[Sergei Pond @sergeilkp]

I am happy @arambaut clarified this point. We are also examining the genome specifically for evidence of changes that have any indication of possibly being selected, and so far there is very little evidence of that, from >2000 genomes

[Ben Orlin @benorlin]

*asteroid approaches*

SCIENTISTS: If we don't stop this, it will destroy Earth.

PEOPLE: Oh no. How many people has it killed so far?

SCIENTISTS: None yet.

PEOPLE, SUDDENLY ARMED WITH STATISTICS: Why, that's fewer than traffic accidents! Fewer than vending machines! Fewer than
