🌎👩‍🔬 For 15+ years biology has accumulated petabytes (million gigabytes) of🧬DNA sequencing data🧬 from the far reaches of our planet.🦠🍄🌵 Logan now democratizes efficient access to the world’s most comprehensive genetics dataset. Free and open. doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Congratulations to Rayan Chiki, (Institut Pasteur) head of the “Sequence Bioinformatics” unit, for securing the ERC Proof of Concept 2025 for his project ENZYMINER! 👏 ‪@rayan.chiki.bsky.social #Bioinformatics

Slides from my talk (with @kamilsjaron.bsky.social) on an history of k-mers in bioinformatics: rayan.chikhi.name/pdf/2025-kme...

🧬 Excited to share our latest work, MUSET 🌭, a new tool for creating abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data. It was published yesterday in Oxford Bioinformatics if you want to have a look👀 : academic.oup.com/bioinformati... Let's break it down:

We have updated all Logan contigs (now at version 1.1)! Contiguity has been much improved (2x) and a duplicated k-mers bug has been fixed. More information and changelog here: github.com/IndexThePlan...
