I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear:
This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited.
The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

Can an AI tool help us better understand the origins of cancer?
Researchers from EMBL's Korbel Group have developed a new AI method β MAGIC β which, through a game of molecular laser tag, is shedding light on how chromosomal abnormalities form in cells.

Complex genetic variation in nearly complete human genomes - Nature
Using sequencing and haplotype-resolved assembly of 65 diverse human genomes, complex regions including the major histocompatibility complex and centromeres are analysed.
Two papers in today's issue of @nature.com β¬: 1) we assemble 65 genomes to near completion, including centromeres and the MHC. tinyurl.com/3huhax6w. 2) we sequence 1,019 genomes from the 1kGP with long reads, revealing SVs down to low allele frequencies tinyurl.com/wbx3we9x.

EMBL researchers and their collaborators have provided exciting new insights into human genetic variation by building upon the 1000 Genomes Project dataset.
The two studies constitute what may be the most complete overview of the human genome to date.

Now published! Note that since Vikram's original post (quoted here), he's made it easy to dynamically update a set of multi-MUMs (e.g. when more genomes are added to a pangenome) and to find multi-MUMs for huge collections like HPRCv2 genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Around genomics, I am looking forward to large scale long read datasets - both Oxford Nanopore and PacBio (COI: I am long established consultant to Oxford Nanopore) where we can get "full" genome representation both for germline and somatic cases. This will transform repeat+structural variant calls
