So far there have been three measles deaths in under six weeks in the ongoing US measles outbreak.
Prior to this year there had only been three measles deaths in the United States in total in the entire last thirty years.

Third measles death
This is not normal. For three reasons.

Due recognition. Cannot express my joy in seeing nature publish the pioneering role of Alan Christoffels and the South African National Bioinformatics institute in African capacity development. I started SANBI. Alan was one of our first graduates!

Yes, all of nih.gov going down is bad of course, regardless of whether it’s malicious or a technical oops that will get fixed eventually (tldr.nettime.org/@ww/11408997...), but I do encourage everyone to learn about the federated nature of the INSDC (including Genbank and PubMed)

So, three nameservers out of seven for the pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov are broken. If you try to look at the web site, you stand a 3/7 chance of encountering something that is broken.

Given the MMWR isn’t coming out, CDC and NIH and FDA may or may not be operating again anytime soon and the rise of all these diseases which so happen to be airborne (TB, Flu, CoVID, Measles, Pertussis etc.), masking is going to become even more important.
“An ongoing tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas has become the largest in recorded history in the United States”
Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history
Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

I'm putting together a Microbial Bioinformatics starter pack to help get everyone connected in our community. Let me know if there are any bluesky users to be added and share so that twitter refugees can tune back in to the fantastic world microbes go.bsky.app/3ezLo7e

New year, new assemblies!
I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes!
It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention.
Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autoc...
