Looks useful. Poly project from @TimothyStiles has a Golang pkg 'seqhash' ( https://t.co/673EmMdRLZ) as well, and seqkit has a 'sum' cmd for the whole fasta/q file, both supporting circular/linear, single/double-stranded seqs ( https://t.co/mtxOrd30Jh). https://t.co/Tlg6C0BdVA

I once gave a talk to a class of 9-10 year olds on morphogenetic plasticity. One raised his hand & asked: could we make a flying rhinoceros? I gave him the reasons why it was unlikely. Rightly shaming me for a lack of commitment, he said "so what, you're just giving up??!"

Depends on how fast I can do the live demo but the talk I gave at synbiobeta the other year averaged out to a rate of 1 unique SpongeBob meme appearing every 18.75 seconds.

I remember the first meetup I ever went to in the Bay Area had steak, mezcal, a DJ, and a dude who figured out how to run windows 98 in the browser via web assembly showing off for 150 nerds. We used to be a community, a proper community.

Thinking about making a local meetup in SF called, "Anything but Beer, Pizza, and AI", because it's getting dismal out here folks.

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.

There was a certain 𝒋𝒆 𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒔 𝒒𝒖𝒐𝒊 to this event hosted by @ollama and @replicate tonight that made it feel really special. Never have I been so excited to go home after an event and build something with CGo.

Will also stress that @TwFlem wrote this for correctness. Don't worry if it isn't speed optimized yet there's stuff in the works for that.

So @TwFlem made a PR for this absolutely bad*ss burrows-wheeler transform implementation based on @BenLangmead's youtube videos. https://t.co/GN7lJs5MDF I don't know enough about bwt to give this PR the review it deserves. Anyone here on this bird app who could lend us a hand?
