## AI overview

This second installment describes SkewDB, an open database of GC/TA and other skews across 25,000 bacterial chromosomes, along with open-source software and a Jupyter notebook for exploring it. The author reports tentative findings about Firmicute skew prediction and unusual bacterial chromosome patterns, while emphasizing that the results require scientific review.

## Source excerpt

And we're back! As noted in part 1, there is the possibility I've discovered something interesting in biology. Lacking an academic peer group, I'm using a series of blog posts to gather feedback and to keep myself honest. Because chances continue to be high that as an outsider I am deluding myself. The full backstory can be found in part 1 without which this installment will not make much sense.
