🌎 🧬 🖥️ logan-search.org the tool to query all SRA sequences (Dec 2023 snapshot) — just got major updates. Here's what's new. 🧵 1/12

Over the last 30 years, RECOMB Proceedings were published by Springer and ACM. On the other hand, full versions of selected papers appeared in various journals. This caused confusion in locating RECOMB publications.

Preprint Alert! With @tmthrz.bsky.social and @rayanchikhi.bsky.social we aim to tackle practical unitigs compression! A thread:

Our preprint on our new metagenomic HiFi assembler Alice is out 🥳 Based on a *new sketching method* (🧵1/6) 👉 Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 👉 Github github.com/rolandfaure/...

🌎👩‍🔬 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

🧬 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...

🚨 Keynotes at RECOMB-seq 2025! 🚨 🌟 Alicia Oshlack – computational transcriptomics @aliciao.bsky.social 🌟 Rayan Chikhi – sequencing data structures @rayanchikhi.bsky.social 🗓️ Dates: April 24–25, 2025 📍 Seoul, South Korea recomb-seq.github.io/speakers/
