Controversial, not so controversial, take - the dangers posed by AI are real, current, and well-documented. Those do not include human extinction within a decade, nor do they include AI-manufactured-printed-out-in-the-lab bioweapons, yet, those are the ones we chose to focus on. Good lord.

I revised our kamino manuscript to introduce v2 and add more analyses: comparisons with OrthoFinder, direct phylogenetic validation using MTBC lineages and GTDB taxa, and a mammalian analysis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

August 2026 was the warmest August on record in the the Copernicus/ECMWF ERA5 dataset, at 1.65C above preindustrial levels. This beat the prior record set in August 2024 by a fairly wide margin (~0.14C).

I released a new version of kamino (v2) which is much more efficient: faster and using less memory. Try it out — it’s quite fun exploring phylogenetic relationships in seconds 🙂 github.com/rderelle/kam...

Release v2.0.0 · rderelle/kamino
Same idea, no graph — welcome to v2. This version uses the k-mer occupancies (i.e. the number of samples in which k-mers are present) estimated during the 1st pass over the proteome files to infer ...

I’ve seen “amid an ongoing ceasefire” used to describe attacks and deaths far too many times. At some point, it stops being a ceasefire.

Would I have called it reverse translation? No. Do I think it is? Also no. Is it cool? Heck yes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share kamino, a Rust tool that builds amino-acid alignments in a reference/alignment-free way from a set of proteomes for phylogenomic analyses. Well suited for datasets with moderate evolutionary divergence (eukaryotes and prokaryotes). #phylogenomics
