Heads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change.

Ie: it's not us (Samtools team)! Be warned

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

Opinion | American Science is Under Attack (Gift Article) The Trump administration hobbles research and endangers the public health.

β€œI’ve spent over five decades as a scientist in academia & the federal government, including as director of the National Institutes of Health. Never before have I seen my profession so politicized as it is now under the Trump administration”
