Saw a Reddit post about a "Peer Review LLM", and I decided to test it with one of my own current preprints to see how good it actually is.
As I expected, it's rubbish, at least in the context of what one should actually expect from a peer review, because an LLM doesn't actually *think*.
You can see it's output here:

I’m currently trying to workflow together all my DNA sequence cleaning and munging as although each issue is rare there’s ALWAYS some problem. The goal is automatically creating clean and well behaved sequence data. Though there may always be a novel problem waiting to say hello! #bioinformatics #genomics
Minimod preprint from @hasindu2008 gang is out. Code available https://github.com/warp9seq/minimod
I love the work they're doing with slow5/blow5 open spec for ONT raw data, and archive all internal reads using them. Really need to sit down and test this one out with my #archaea raw data!
A feast for *all* the senses!
Dr. Douglas Chesters addresses the gap in public information on #phylogenetics for nonvisual modalities with a #bioinformatics pipeline to represent phylogenies in #audio and #video forms!

On NCBI what determines which genome assembly gets the green 'reference" star tag? I'm seeming a scaffold level assembly with 40X coverage from 2019 getting the 'reference' star whilst a complete chromosome scale assembly with 300X coverage from 2021 for the same species not... Is this a community driven label that just takes time to update?

@OpenBio Wow - Nigeria has close to 20% of Africa's population? That means a lot of young educated people, and indirectly high demand for #Bioinformatics training...
Successful first remote talk, but switching to plan B and a pre-recorded video from the other remote speaker at #BOSC2025:
Seun Olufemi "Connecting Data, People, and Purpose: How Open Science is Advancing #Bioinformatics in a Low-Resource region (#Nigeria)"
Based on the show of hands just now, half the #BOSC2025 attendees are at their first BOSC (#Bioinformatics #OpenSource Conference) 
#vembrane, our CLI tool for manipulating VCF/BCF files via Python expressions has gained a new subcommand for sorting. Use it to sort by impact, pathogenicity, frequencies, or any complex Python logic, e.g. for variant prioritization.

I think we're going to get a lot of discussions of #bioinformatics resources funding and sustainability during #ismbeccb2025
Good point of @bffo that licensing to companies limits re-usability of resources, contra #FAIR principles. Yet we need to find a sustainable model for our #bioinformatics #biocuration resources. #ismbeccb2025
Great choice of ISCB 2025 Accomplishments by a Senior Scientist: Amos Bairoch, 45 years of #biocuration which are foundational to our knowledge of biology in #ComputationalBiology #Bioinformatics. #ismbeccb2025 @SIB
