For the past 30 years, “whole-genome sequencing” has been a misnomer. Today the T2T Consortium publishes a dozen papers heralding a future of truly complete genomes for humans and nearly any vertebrate 👨🔬🐒🐦🐀🦒🐎🫏🐹🐟 (sorry, no salamanders): www.cell.com/consortium/t... 🧵[1/15]
To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.
Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.
Thank you to everyone who stepped up and dug deep during this campaign. Órale ❤️✊🏽
Our closing message. When I'm Attorney General, I'll lead the fight to root out political corruption and corporate abuse, using the laws on the books with boldness and courage to do it. This fight isn't about the red team versus the blue team. It's about the many vs. the money.
Jobs alert! I have three roles open on my team. One for computational protein design, one for a Laboratory Information Specialist (help us set up our LIMS and other systems!) and one for a Junior data engineer. See: www.altatech.io/careers for deets- and please spread the word!

When we fight, we win! Thank you Colorado Democratic Delegates for your support. With assembly over, we are now on the ballot and will face Hickenlooper in a head to head contest in the June primary. Big things coming from our campaign — stay tuned! ¡Órale!
Are you a delegate for the 2026 Democratic State Assembly? Join us for a virtual meet-and-greet! We’d love to give you the opportunity to meet with Senadora Julie Gonzales and learn about her platform. RSVP to receive the Zoom link: www.julie4.us/state-del
Great game, Canada! It was an honor/honour to play against such fantastic neighbors/ neighbours.
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
To be clear, we're in such bad shape because the U.S. regime has been a detention regime for a very long time. Now the long-term crisis is getting exponentially worse, with funding already allocated to do incalculable harm. But not all the necessary materials are at hand yet, and we can still act.
Just spitballing here, but maybe in the land of the free we shouldn't have a pedophilic ruling elite class, police who kidnap people off the street, and concentration camps?
We've got jobs (altatech.io/careers/) In particular, we are looking for a senior/principal Protein Engineering Scientist and Process Engineers as we scale up our bench scale process to full commercialization. We are in Boulder, CO which is a great place to live!

Pritzker should mobilize them first. The entire Illinois Army National Guard. Order them to protect Illinois residents from menacing outsiders, regardless of who they work for.
Trump to federalize Illinois National Guard, Pritzker says
“This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum," Pritzker said.

Check this out! This is a big deal and helps lead the way for how we should think about analyzing genomes.
Adam Phillippy@aphillippy.bsky.social · 11mo agoDelighted to finally announce a preprint describing the Q100 project! “A complete diploid human genome benchmark for personalized genomics” For which we finished HG002 to near-perfect accuracy: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵[1/14]

It's only cancel culture if it comes from the democratic regions of the U.S. Otherwise it's sparkling authoritarianism.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last yr.It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
This is a great loss for the scientific community and the world. Atul was always positive and always willing to help.
euanashley@euanashley.bsky.social · last yr.Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
