    According to Luna's SEC filing, here's how much all of your biological data is worth. $0.14 for 20 days of fit bit data $3.50 for a genome-wide microarray $3.50 for a whole microbiome $21 for a whole genome

    i think the figure also wins the popularity contest

    I must agree: this has always been one of the most astonishing graphs I have ever seen, and a Nobel Prize for next-gen sequencing seems like a no-brainer.

    The Strelka2 manuscript has just been published - Strelka2 performs very well in our benchmarks (usually outperforms GATK for accuracy and always outperforms on speed) in a diverse set of genomes and exomes. Great work and open-source contribution.

    An important take-home from our new re-ID manuscript? The power of academic/industry collaboration. Despite what some archaic academic might preach you, science is not a guild or a cult practiced in ivory towers

    $ bedtools intersect -header -a your_VCF.vcf -b exome_regions.bed > exome_only.vcf if your reference version is 38, you can try the exome bed for -b here

    Genome geek friends -- Given a VCF file from a WGS already subsetted to a gene-list regions of interest, how would you most easily filter it to contain only exome variants? Or put another way, how would you discard calls in introns from a VCF given a list of desired genes?
