October 2025 batch of Kraken 2 indexes, including core_nt and many others, available: benlangmead.github.io/aws-indexes/k2

Coming soon to K2: a feature for querying many K2 indexes as though they're a single index. Highly useful if the index you want to query is too big to build and/or fit in RAM.

Help shape the future of microbiology in Europe. FEMS is conducting a survey to better understand the needs of microbiologists.

Sending emails != having email conversations. Big difference in workload. The lvl of communication requested was unclear in the paper. Anyway, as per your other reply, such a mess is fully avoided by only using data already mentioned in a paper (I hope they'll update publication tags reliably ...)

It would help if the demand for communication is automatically dropped from the DRI as soon as a journal publication is linked to the data set in question, otherwise the future of applied bioinformatics is an administrative nightmare.

If under the pressure of publish-or-perish the DRI that demands communication becomes universally used, the amount of communication to just do a simple genome mining task (e.g., how many strains of x can do y because of gene z) explodes - still worrying because it's time and energy consuming.

Že tri leta se je tole pripravljalo v moji glavi

Jutri izide prva epizoda okoljskega podkasta Na tankem ledu. Potem sem zavlačevala, kolikor sem lahko in si še za danes pustila zadnje ure montaže. Seveda ni popoln, ampak nekje moramo začet.
