I’ve been a recovering acronymiser for some time, with the last few bioinformatics given more punny names, like Diploidocus, Taxolotl, Telociraptor and SynBad. But I was pushed for time preparing a conference poster and needed a name for a new workflow, and SHARPCLAW - Synteny, Homology And Repeat Pre-curation for Chromosome-Level Assembly Workflows - was born. I’ve not yet crow-barred in additional meaning, so for now this has definite ad hoc status.
