Journal Safari #2. The UK Biobank just finished whole-genome sequencing all 490,640 participants. I read the resource paper to answer one question: what does WGS actually buy you over the array and exomes we already had — and who pays the storage bill afterward?

Weeks after YouTube erased me, I finally reached a human at Google. Their official solution to getting my music back involves deleting my family group and hand-migrating 16 years of Google Drive. Here's why that's worse than it sounds.

Kicking off Journal Safari, my biweekly close-read of one recent paper. First up: CellVQ, a 500-million-parameter single-cell foundation model that squashes every cell into a discrete code — and the peer reviews that quietly agreed with my doubts.
