I used to work in the office next to James'. Don't know how he feels about it, but this seemed pretty unfair to be honest. It's an experimental codebase released by an academic institute. I think he originally wrote it for one of the DNA data compression competitions?
If this was in something one of Illumina's tools, on a platform that is used for diagnostics (some of their platforms have FDA approval). Then I think this would be fairer... but it's not, and they probably didn't do that because it would be too much work.
As it stands, they might as well have written their own buggy tool and exploited it to be honest.
- jacquesm 5y agoAgreed. They should have put that bit front and center and not buried at the bottom somewhere, besides it totally invalidates their claim.
