@DrJessChen @NWSAtlanta There was one on Facebook this morning that gets my vote. If the weather is sus, then don't take the bus.

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman And then when they're demanding bacteria, I can't go into the episode. I have to start from the beginning and then rewind when the intro ends.

My kids keep asking me to play Bacteria in car rides. It is especially cute coming from a three year old demanding "bacteria." I think I have been playing #riskyornot too often rofl @bugcounter @benjaminchapman

🚀 Exciting News! Our new tool primerForge just got published! 🎉
🔬 primerForge compares two groups of genomes to identify PCR targets—making it easier to distinguish pathogens in infectious disease outbreaks. 🦠
Check out the paper by Joe Wirth et al.👇

@blekhman Do we get advance knowledge of next year's trends if we get to preview your laundry?

[Lee Katz @[email protected] @lskatz]

We're back with @microbinfie! @happy_khan and I talk about tree visualization at https://t.co/1Z7C2HL8QY or wherever you get podcasts

@strnr Make the Jabba awards great again! https://t.co/EjiM67OwsL

We need a 25th amendment but for justices. Let the circuit judges remove the corrupt justices if Congress won't.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

That's no laughing matter.

This is why the Chevron doctrine was so important. We need real experts tackling today’s complicated problems, not judges who think they know better.

@benjaminchapman @bugcounter @michelledanyluk I made a note to put some biostimulants in my database so that I am not too surprised if it comes up. I had no idea about this category! Thank you for shedding light on it! https://t.co/oKTj8n1N9O (not sure when I'll get to it though...)

Next time you see Trump, ask him who he's voting for.

After rewriting WFA-go, the speed reaches 1/10 of the official C++ version🫣, with 3X memory.
It's production-ready, please try it. A binary is also provided to align seqs in cmd-line. I also wrote the dev notes which might be useful for other developers.

@amylizk @Cas9Bandit @dmaccannell @dbtara @RoryMWelsh I'm not totally clear on the topic but also yeah I'm not on here often :)

AMD academy 2024 kicked off today! Looking forward to a week of bioinformatics and discussion of strategies for lab and epi collaboration! Starting off strong with @lskatz lecture on sequence quality! @CDC_AMD @APHL

[Lee Katz @[email protected] @lskatz]

@amylizk What?! Incredible!

@lh3lh3 You use perl in some packages but it never made a mention here? Very controversial!
