Wow, more than 2.4M of assembled bacteria in the new release of ABT! We plan to index these using our efficient colored De Bruijn graph index, Fulgor. We recently conducted experiments with nearly 1M genomes…getting there :) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Another taste of the future of human genetics, also in @nature.com. Long-read sequencing in >1,000 humans across 26 populations shows how the approach can accelerate biological & medical research. Work led by @bernardo-rodriguez.bsky.social @trausch.bsky.social @tobiasmar.bsky.social & Jan Korbel.🧬🧪

Telomere-to-telomere DNA sequencing is set to transform the field of human genetics in coming years. For a flavour of what's coming, see this exciting work on nearly complete genomes of 65 individuals from diverse populations, out today in @nature.com by @glennislogsdon.bsky.social & colleagues. 👇🧬🧪

[1/8] *New Open-Access Long Read Resource*. We sequenced 1,019 genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project sample cohort using @nanoporetech.com long-read sequencing (LRS) to median 17x coverage. Publication at go.nature.com/4ffPb8f. @hhu.de @crg.eu @embl.org @impvienna.bsky.social

Lovely write up on our paper from @jacksonlab.bsky.social. It's been <4 years since I joined the HGSVC, and together with Peter Audano and Parithi Balachandran in my lab, @tobiasmar.bsky.social, @glennislogsdon.bsky.social, and many others, we've done a lot. Here's to great collaborators!

Two papers in today's issue of @nature.com ‬: 1) we assemble 65 genomes to near completion, including centromeres and the MHC. tinyurl.com/3huhax6w. 2) we sequence 1,019 genomes from the 1kGP with long reads, revealing SVs down to low allele frequencies tinyurl.com/wbx3we9x.
