Today is a sad day for Twitter. Elon Musk saddled Twitter with $1B/year debt service in an attempt to kill it. I am disgusted. Corporate takeovers with debt should be illegal.

"Bivalent" vaccine is out now in US. Got mine yesterday at a local drugstore; get yours too! NPR had an article about mucosal immunity stemming from oral/nasal vaccines which are being developed in India/China. I hope we get those here.

A trial is unlikely to find guilt when the jury is complicit in the crime.

New in #BBTools 38.81 - bbmap/pipelines/covid/ added, with #SARSCoV2 variant-calling and assembly scripts designed for low-coverage, spiky Illumina amplicon (or part-amplicon) sequencing.

The best and fastest way to look at Coronavirus variants is BBMap+CallVariants. If you don't care about indels, or want a tool designed specifically for diploid humans, bwa+GATK is marginal. If you actually want to make a difference here, please use use BBTools.

BBSketch servers are now updated to recognize the #Wuhan #Coronavirus! Many thanks to the scientists who quickly sequenced and assembled the genome.

BBTools (sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap/) can determine the taxonomy of any organism in a couple seconds, using "sendsketch. sh". For prokaryotes, it even tells you the 16S identity as well as the whole genome ANI or AAI (if you add the "protein" flag).
