Since the current …everything has folks a little on edge about .gov websites going down, be aware that #NCBI (hosts of #Pubmed, #GenBank, and other important #biomed database sites) will be offline from this Friday evening into the weekend.
(Consider re-sharing if you have an audience that would appreciate knowing.)
https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2025/07/08/ncbi-website-maintenance-july-26th/
On Friday, July 25th, starting at 9:00 PM EDT, we’ll be performing essential maintenance on the NLM data center. This upgrade is critical to ensure the continued reliability and stability of our services. We anticipate this planned outage will last 24 hours or more. During this time, users may experience interrupted access or degraded performance … Continue reading NCBI Website Maintenance — Beginning July 25th →
Questo articolo di @HelenBranswell (purtroppo dietro paywall) esprime la preoccupazione che hanno tanti scienziati nel mondo: la possibilità che #Trump rimuova i database di sequenze #Genbank e SRA, da sempre punto di riferimento per la ricerca biomedica. 🧬
Certo gli stessi dati sono archiviati anche nei database di ENA e DDBJ, ma si tratta di risorse che pochi conoscono. Se le banche dati americane dovessero sparire, sarebbe un problema serio per tutti!

Taxonomy Identifiers (TaxId) for Biodiversity Genomics: a guide to getting TaxId for submission of data to public databases
Abstract. Sequencing the mitochondrial genome of the tunicate Oikopleura dioica is a challenging task due to the presence of long poly-A/T homopolymer stre
#US #CDC: Technical #Update: #Summary #Analysis of #Genetic #Sequence of a HPAI A(#H5N1) Virus Identified in a #Human in #Michigan, https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/spotlights/2023-2024/h5n1-technical-update-may-24-2024.html
This analysis supports conclusion that overall #risk to general public associated with the ongoing HPAI A(H5N1) #outbreak has not changed and remains low at this time. #Genome of the virus identified from patient in Michigan (A/Michigan/90/2024) is publicly posted in #GISAID (EPI_ISL_19162802) and has been submitted to #GenBank.
