Come to ONT's industry event at ASM to hear about two exciting new tools from @jimshaw.bsky.social! SNPmers (polymorphic kmers) are leveraged for impressive performance in both myloasm (metagenomic assembly) and savont (16S ASVs). Registration link 👇

Note that I released a new version of metaMDBG (v1.4) last week focusing on scalability. You can now process such dataset in 6 days and 130 GB of memory

Released today: ~1.5 Tbp of ONT metagenomic sequencing from compost. Assembly, MAGs, and downstream analysis are available to play with epi2me.nanoporetech.com/compost_mgx_...

ONT has a temporary bioinformatics position (8 months) open while I'm on maternity leave. Focus will be on microbial genomics but with opportunities to work on projects across the breadth of genomics! ejnh.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

An ONT webinar where I discuss wet and dry lab methods for environmental metagenomics, as well as analysis of 1.5 Tb (!!) of metagenomic sequencing from compost. Featuring the nanoMDBG assembler, strain-dependent AMR profiles, and invertons: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4P...

Our guide for best practices in metagenomic assembly and binning of @nanoporetech.com data, highlighting some exciting recently developed tools for high accuracy long reads
