Our genome assembly broke @NCBI! We recently submitted the genome of the endangered White Bark Pine, which has 4 scaffolds that are longer than > 2,147,483,647 bp, which is the largest integer for a 32-bit int (2^31 - 1). So we have to break them and re-submit

I see that #AACR has a special symposium on the cancer microbiome this year. Attendees, please be skeptical! Recent reports of a microbiome in 32 different types of cancer are simply wrong, as we showed last year: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
I've been a Linux user for 30 years, and this is pretty cool. A software engineer at @Microsoft found a backdoor in ssh, probably planted there by a nefarious government actor, and alerted the world. It's being fixed nytimes.com/2024/04/03/tec…
and the answer is: still not sure yet. Close to 20,000 protein-coding genes but more like 100,000 different protein isoforms. And noncoding RNAs? Who knows?

a large new study says Vitamin D and calcium supplements slightly *increase* death rates, contrary to popular belief. See my take on this at @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/stevensa…

it seems that taking Vitamin D and calcium might have an effect on risk of both cancer and heart disease - but the effectts are opposite, with death rates going up for heart disease but down for cancer. Net effect: slightly negative (more deaths) on supplements, not signif.

wow. The level of fraud from Didier Raoult is far larger than I imagined. 50+ papers retracted or with editorial notices. And in 2023, "the largest unethical study performed for years—in France, maybe in the world. … It’s incredible" science.org/content/articl…

@StevenSalzberg1 @StevenSalzberg1, applying for my first NSF grant in years, the sciENcv website consumed hours. The draft biosketch isn't the final--a paragraph-long disclaimer is added, destroying the page count! If you download and open the PDF, it gets rejected by research.gov.
@StevenSalzberg1 Don’t worry, Steven. Next year there will be a totally different website mandated and an all new format, and there will be no way to transfer relevant information out of the old system and into the new. Also, new proposals will only be accepted in comic sans.
