Small update from AllTheBacteria (allthebacteria.org). Assemblies can be bulk downloaded from OSF as before, or you can now get individual assemblies from AWS. We now also have a LexicMap index on AWS, so you can align your favourite gene against 2.4million bacteria (next post for price estimates)

On an immunological note, promiscuous expression of reproductive tissue antigens in the thymus might also suggest there is a need for tolerance against these tissues, albeit earlier in life than most cancer patients. What are your thoughts?

Baking in marginal selection of antigens to prevent the adverse loss of reproduction seems a minor inconvenience compared to stopping someone from having kids full stop.

Saying reproductive tissues are fair game relegates the patient to an object rather than a living breathing person. If that cancer therapy destroys someone's child bearing or producing capacity that is not a good therapy.

Intriguing - maybe worth throwing into the mix that CTAs might need to be sex dependent. Probably not a great idea to give anti-testes CARTs to blokes and anti-placental CARTs to women.

Four ways COVID changed virology: lessons from the most sequenced virus of all time
After 150,000 articles and 17 million genome sequences, what has science taught us about SARS-CoV-2?
Great article from Ewen Callaway in @nature.com about how #SARSCoV2 has helped us better understand viruses - including the areas where we still have much to learn.

NCBI websites are patchy at present, but now feel far less secure for long-term storage than they used to.
