Richard so deserves this - a legend in bioinformatics and computational biology - work genome, human genome, Pfam, 1,000 genomes, Sam/bam format, bwa, vcf, psmc… and so many more

Ran the same literature search through Claude Code and ChatGPT. Found ZERO papers in common despite using identical databases. Both searches were useful in finding what I need, but lack of overlap was ... slightly concerning. The lesson: AI tools are powerful but limited. Use multiple (1/2)

GFF was originally conceived of as an interchange format for chaining together gene subfeatures (splice sites, promoters, exons, etc) predicted by various specialized tools (HMMs, decision trees, neural nets, SVMs); rather like GENSCAN, but with the idea you could mix & match subfeature predictors

We are thrilled to announce the first official release (v0.1.8) of #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿, the successor to one of our flagship tool, #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀! Based on ideas we conceived of long ago (!), this was achieved thanks to the dedication of Brent Pedersen. 1/n
