Molecular Dynamics run of the day. #Chemsky
It's still amazing to me that today I can run a protein molecular dynamics 100ns job in under 3 hours thanks to GPUs.

I saw some people who I don’t know talking about something I don’t know about here on this very website.
Rather than demand that they stop their discussion and explain what’s going on to me, I kept scrolling and will soon forget about it.
This option is available to you as well!

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear:
This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited.
The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5
