I just described a certain bioinformatics workflow as a duck swimming - looks smooth on the surface, lots of frantic activity underneath. It makes people uncomfortable to see the complexity and chaos, but it never gets fixed if you hide it.

devider: long-read reconstruction of many diverse haplotypes
Reconstructing haplotypes is important when sequencing a mixture of similar sequences. Long-read sequencing can connect distant alleles to disentangle similar haplotypes, but handling se-quencing erro...

Too many folks don't know there's an H5N1 bird flu outbreak in dairy cattle. It should not be news to anyone at this point, but our news sources are fragmented. Let your network know - no raw milk, and take extra care with flu like symptoms.
Child w suspected case of bird flu in Marin County, CA “presented to a local emergency department with fever and vomiting after drinking raw milk.” Tested positive for flu A, more testing needed to confirm whether seasonal or bird flu (h/t @helenbranswell.bsky.social) www.marinhhs.org/h5n1-bird-flu

Has anyone ever seen the Docker whale and the old Twitter fail whale together? I'm just asking questions...

Today I migrated Python 2 scripts to Python 3, for a BFX pipeline that runs critical national infectious disease surveillance. 5 years since official support ended for Python 2. Python 4 early alpha builds are out there. Time to pay your technical debt.

Sometimes you need a failing test case. My genomes were assembling well - too well...
The rain drummed against my lab window like a metronome of bad decisions, each drop ticking off another night I'd never get back. Somewhere in the city, normal people were sleeping — or at least trying to. (1/4)
