This isn’t about left versus right.

De novo once meant no BLAST hit but later sensitive methods revealed that many designs had hits. Now TMscore is used, but it’s easy to game by adding helices or rewiring secondary structures due to its scores length normalization. I wish new functions eg. unknown enzymatic reactions would be de-novo

For many of those who were asking on BLOW5 vs POD5 for nanopore signal data, here is a finally detailed benchmark we did:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Summary: performance of BLOW5 is >= POD5 (from ~= to 100X, see below), with benefit of having ~3 dependencies instead of >50.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Thank you @joshuasweitz.bsky.social for making this visually effective set of plots that puts into perspective the scale of the announced cuts to NIH, NSF and NASA
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

My father worked in a tire factory in Appalachia. Friends and family in the military. Used to vote Republican. Got into college on a diversity program for the underprivileged. Ended up a Harvard professor. And now my funding is terminated because we're trying to stick it to the elites.

this is very sad and worrisome
The war on science in the US is already having an effect on private sector research like AlphaFold. Bears repeating but the private sector builds on top of things created by academic research for the public good. This hurts everyone.
