The Associated Press has officially projected our grassroots, people-powered campaign as the winner of tonight's runoff election! They said a working farmer from Tensas Parish couldn’t build a statewide movement, but the working people of Louisiana just proved them wrong.

I needed to infer a "genome-enabled" phylogeny for some critters (referee request) and the compute required to identify UCEs, etc. was greater than desired. So, I decided to use BUSCOs and came across this very nice package from @jamiemcgowan.bsky.social to do just that: github.com/jamiemcg/BUS...

In about an hour using Claude Code (see disclaimer in repo) I put together code to do something that is a pain in the ass to do manually - find a good genome in NCBI then see what decent population level WGS data exist for that genome assembly in NCBI SRA: github.com/brantfairclo.... I'm impressed.
