*She* may not be able to assemble the genomes because she has no idea what she's doing - however, other people (myself included) can. Easily. I even made the bam files publicly available for anybody to download.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

One additional proof that she's an idiot.

I wonder if they mentioned the Broad Institute... I'm sure Lander would be happy about that.

She keeps perpetuating the crap that nobody can assemble the genomes from the raw seq data.

Just guessing, but I think Eric would not be happy.

It sounds like the Broad needs to do an intervention. Just discuss what she is trying to achieve from this.

Perhaps they could actually go through the data with her and give her the opportunity to try to persuade a few ofthem that know what they are doing. She won't be able to but perhaps they could bring her back from the brink, save her career (assuming they want to).

She's so deep in now that there's no coming back - if I was the Broad I'd make a clean cut.

It really doesn't make any sense what she thinks she will get out of this - I assume this is entirely a genuine belief that she has discovered a truth and soon she will be celebrated for it. It is not like she is just giving the right wingerswhat they want either.
