Do remember that #DonaldTrump has a history of getting rid of pesky people who might testify against him in #helicopter crashes.

We found a really cool giant virus inside the genome of a green alga, and it has a very strange infection cycle that is hard to detect.

There are reports going back decades of viral particles spontaneously appearing in pure cultures of green algae, so this phenomenon seems quite common but mostly overlooked.

Assisting farmers to lower water use with ai?
Maybe stop pushing new projects in areas with water scarcity instead of pushing costs and responsibility to others!

Trump must face defamation lawsuit from Central Park Five defendants | Reuters
«Philadelphia-based U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone ruled on Thursday that the men had presented enough evidence for now to pursue their lawsuit accusing Trump of defaming them in comments he made during the 2024 presidential campaign. The judge narrowed the lawsuit, however, by dismissing a claim by the plaintiffs of intentional infliction of emotional distress.»

By the way, if you indicated that you are interested in several webinars when you requested access to a previous one, you don't need to sign up again until there's a newly scheduled one at the Alliance Event Calendar www.alliancegenome.org/event-calendar (also doesn't hurt anything if you sign up again).

Film of the day :"Les ripoux", 1985.

"A moderately corrupt veteran policeman teaches the art of bribes to his young partner. The rookie turns out to be an extremely capable student, and soon overtakes the teacher."

Using seqera AI to understand nextflow.log, actually it told me where in the nextflow script was the error and I could see the problem was my samplesheet names. I would say this is even a better usage of AI :) @seqera #chipseq @nextflow.io @nf-co.re #troubleshooting to 2min #bioinformatics
