Aida - Whole Genome Sequence

CAT.DAD..: tweedge         ┼╡ NAME.: Aida
LiCENSE..: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ││ BREED: domestic shorthair
COAT.: dilute tortoiseshell

RELEASE.DATE..: 2022-05-08 ┼╡ DNA.SOURCE...: cheek swab
RELEASE.SiZE..: 30.3 GB    ││ SEQUENCED.BY.: Basepaws
RELEASE.FiLES.: VCF, FASTQ ╞┼ SEQUENCE.TYPE: whole genome

This is a full genome sequence of my cat, Aida, in the release
style of Warez Scene groups.  Yes, really.

While I have an interest in biology and genomics, I am by no means
an expert.  I had Aida's genome sequenced to learn a bit more
about genomics & practical applications of genomics in our lives.

It was somewhat useful - Aida has no known sequences that incidate
a genetic predisposition for certain diseases, which is good - but
outside of that I didn't really learn anything new about her health
or wellbeing.  The experience was kinda cool if you're into that
sort of thing, but expensive as hell if you aren't already
suspicious that your cat may have a genetic disease or needs that
level of preemptive medical investigation.

I am now releasing Aida's genome on a lark, so I can reference it
as source material for future #caturday posts.  Due to the genome's
size, it's being released via torrent.  Due to the release being
via torrent, the release is now paying homage to the art and
aesthetics of scene groups.

Photos of Aida are included in the "screens" directory.  :3

Finally, the terms of this release are: everything here is licensed
under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0
International license.  You can read Aida's genome using any FASTQ
and VCF parsers you like, and you can reuse, modify, and distribute
her genome so long as it is complying with the above license.

I genuinely don't know if one cat's worth of WGS data under CC
licensing is useful to anyone, but if you do come up with a use
or use this to learn more about genomics, please let me know!

Much love,
tweedge

This mighty fine NFO art was originally created by snacky of or for
Synthesis Media in 1999: https://www.mp3scene.info/groups/20/syn/

It has been modified to be lightly Aida-themed.

If this NFO looks like hot garbage, try using an NFO viewer, or
anything that can open CP437-encoded files (IBM / DOS Latin US):

If you're interested in the art or mechanisms of the warez scene,
I recommend reading "Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of
Piracy" by Martin Paul Eve.  Fascinating stuff!
