I knew early on I wanted to work with computers, but because of dyslexia I ended up in a lower-tier German school. The career office said a tech job wasn’t realistic. I ignored that, took a convoluted path into university, discovered bioinformatics, got hooked on algorithms&proteins, and became a PI

OrthoFinder just dropped a major update
It’s faster, more accurate, and ready for thousands of genomes
Let’s break it down (1/10)

Out in @natbiotech.nature.com: Metagenome taxonomy profilers usually ignore unknown species. SingleM is an accurate profiler which doesn't, even detecting phyla with no MAGs. Profiles of 700,000 metagenomes at sandpiper.qut.edu.au. A 🧵

Industry friends, now is the time for MUCH more speaking out on behalf of academic colleagues under duress. Here are core open source methods that many of your products doubtlessly depend on either directly or indirectly (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMMER) being abruptly defunded. Make noise.

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

NIH just early-expired its 1st & only software NOFO: “Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science.” Our proposal supported lab automation software infrastructure, with backing from major robotics companies. I guess “sustainable” is too risky now. So much for funding the STEM workforce.
