Introducing CLARC in a GitHub near you :) If you like clever tricks and superman puns, read our paper to learn how studying selection in the pneumococcal pangenome led us to develop a bioinformatics tool to improve gene ortholog definitions! Shoutout to S. pneumoniae for being such a diverse guy.

New tool for pangenome analysis! CLARC refines bacterial gene clusters using functional annotation + linkage—not just sequence. New publication by @indragon.bsky.social & collaborators, advised by @mlipsitch.bsky.social & @billhanage.bsky.social. Read more at bit.ly/4ek0Y51

I'm so happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with @baym.lol!!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/earl...
