This is really cool. Ciro Santilli would be tempted to participate, but his wife is not a fan, in part due to the loss of privacy of children. Maybe she is right...

Someone should implement a version of that where you can upload your privately sequenced genome and get analytics for free.

Human mtDNA by

This was the first large part of the genome that was sequenced, in 1981: Cambridge Reference Sequence. Presumably they picked it because it is short and does not undergo crossover.

About 16.6 kbp:

13 coding genes
24 non-coding genes

TODO: many places say "exactly" 16,569, it seems that variable number tandem repeat are either rare or don't occur!

Sequelize by

Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16

Source code: github.com/sequelize/sequelize

Some usage examples under: Section "Sequelize example".

As of 2021, this library is extremely painful to use. It does feel semi-mature, but there are just too much horrible things going on;

the documentation is a bit messy and misses a lot of stuff. The examples are often too short, and it is hard to understand what specific options they are talking about do because they lack clear input/expected output pairs. Examples:
- github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/5385#issuecomment-324479607
- github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/1775#issuecomment-360028396
the implementation has several inelegant/unintuitive annoyances/requirements of code repetition that drive you mad.
The association API feels notably bad, it took a few days for Ciro Santilli to learn to do what he considers "basic" association operations, knowledge which he dumped to: stackoverflow.com/questions/22958683/how-to-implement-many-to-many-association-in-sequelize/67973948#67973948
See also: how to decide if an ORM is good?.
bugs are piling up. It appears that many key devs left, and current maintainers are just not being able to keep up.
And they have setup a stupid bot that closes every thread automatically after a few days, what's the point... valid bugs are being closed due to this, and it is impossible to distinguish what is solved and what isn't since everything gets closed.

Some glaring issues are listed at the horrors of Sequelize.

Two-dimensional Yang–Mills theory by

Two-dimensional Yang–Mills theory is a gauge theory that generalizes the concept of Yang–Mills theories to two spatial dimensions. In general, Yang–Mills theories are constructed from a gauge field that transforms under a symmetry group (the gauge group), and they play a crucial role in modern theoretical physics, particularly in quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics.

List of Japanese nuclear incidents by

The list of nuclear incidents in Japan includes various accidents, leaks, and problems related to nuclear power plants, research facilities, and other nuclear-related activities. Here are some significant incidents: 1. **Tokaimura Nuclear Accident (1999)**: A criticality accident occurred at a uranium processing facility in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, resulting in two deaths and several others exposed to radiation. It was the first serious nuclear accident in Japan since the start of the nuclear power program.

List of Jupiter trojans (Greek camp) (500001–600000) by

The Jupiter trojans are a group of asteroids that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, located at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points, which are approximately 60 degrees ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit. The ones denoted as part of the "Greek camp" typically refer to those that are positioned at the L4 point.

List of Jupiter trojans (Trojan camp) (300001–400000) by

The Jupiter trojans are a group of asteroids that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, clustering around the two stable Lagrange points (L4 and L5) which are 60 degrees ahead and behind Jupiter in its orbit, respectively. The List of Jupiter Trojans (Trojan camp) from 300001 to 400000 includes numerous numbered asteroids in that range.

List of minor planets: 135001–136000 by

The list of minor planets from 135001 to 136000 includes various asteroids that have been assigned numerical designations. This is part of the systematic cataloging of small celestial bodies within our solar system, primarily focusing on those that have been discovered and confirmed. Each minor planet is typically named after a person, place, or concept related to science, culture, or history.
