Sex Chromosomes Cause Mapping Artifacts in Whole‑genome Sequencing
1/ Sex chromosomes are bias magnets in WGS. Early large-scale genomes often showed weird copy-number or coverage patterns on X and Y that looked like biology, but were really mapping artifacts. https://t.co/YnApmtxHqm

Claude Code Fabricates Fake ENSEMBL IDs for Gene Plots
1/ Claude Code just hallucinated ENSEMBL IDs for my volcano plot. (it happened last week for real) I asked it to highlight specific genes. The data matrix uses ENSEMBL identifiers. Instead of flagging that it couldn't map the gene symbols, it invented...
