💾 mlst 2.25.0 has been released! Fixed a bug that missed alleles in increasingly larger schemes like senterica (thanks @microbiologikat.bsky.social) and updated the databases. #bioinformatiocs #microbiology #genomics github.com/tseemann/mls...

Hey folks, am looking for examples of circularised/full plasmid sequences from "unusual " bacterial species, sequenced since 2020 (as independent validation for a plasmid identification tool that was trained on refseq2020+plsdb). Any tips? #microsky

Honestly, as a micro binfie, I couldn't feel more honored than to be entrusted with this! 😃 Prokka has served so many so well, and deeply inspired me how to write Bakta. I'm thankful to be part of this open science com, and will do my best to meet these high quality standards. Thanks Torsten! 🦠💻

💾 Prokka 1.15.6 is released! This is the last major release of Prokka. But don't be sad, because @oschwengers.bsky.social already has an excellent replacement called Bakta you can migrate to. #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics github.com/tseemann/pro...

💾 Shovill 1.4.1 has been released! The best way to de novo assemble microbial genomes from Illumina FASTQ. Major fixes to the SKESA module, plasmid mode for the Spades module, and more error checking. #bioinformatiocs #genomics #microbiology github.com/tseemann/sho...

Enzyme Engineering Database (EnzEngDB): a platform for sharing and interpreting sequence–function relationships across protein engineering campaigns @francescazfl.bsky.social @jsunn-y.bsky.social @francesarnold.bsky.social @arianemora.bsky.social Paper: doi.org/10.1093/nar/... DB: enzengdb.org

I'm proud to share the latest methods work from my group. Led by @revathykri.bsky.social we wrote a book chapter on how we process and analyse viromes. Thanks to co-authors @rikhaagmans.bsky.social @ryancook94.bsky.social & Alise Ponsero link.springer.com/protocol/10....

Cornetto v0.2.0 is now released for using programmable selective nanopore sequencing for genome assembly. GitHub: github.com/hasindu2008/... Paper: nature.com/articles/s41... Datasets: hasindu2008.github.io/cornetto/doc... ... and a banner made by Ira Deveson referring to ‘no boring bits’.

💾 ABRicate 1.2.0 has been released! This 'oversight' lasted 6 years, but with help from @finlaym.bsky.social we got CI working and updated all the databases. #bioconda #conda #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics github.com/tseemann/abr...

This poster design was the hard work of @wytamma.bsky.social who is implementing Snippy-NG. You should follow him now - an amazing ECR who produces a lot of very cool stuff.

🚀 Just launched: GraphBin Visualise (WASM) a browser-based visualisation tool for comparing initial metagenomic binning results vs refined results from GraphBin - all running in your browser, no backend required. (1/n) #bioinformatics #metagenomics #binning #webapp #pyiodide #webassembly

That’s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social

Wonderful week at ABACBS and BioCAsia conferences in Adelaide, Australia. Thanks everyone who joined the workshop on Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis with Bioconductor, you made it awesome! @abacbs.bsky.social @bioconductor.bsky.social #ABACBS2025 #BioCAsia2025

This was one of the best workshops I have ever been to. I came out of it with a Wasm app for making pharokka/phold/phynteny's genome maps - available at gbouras13.github.io/phold-plot-w... It runs the browser almost instantly - please give it a go with your phages of interest! #ABACBS2025

Last workshop for ABACBS and BiocAsia. Really great turnout and material, led by Ning, Nora and Monika. Great way to finish a top notch week

This package to decompose weighted graphs into weighted paths by @alextomescu.bsky.social is going to be very useful. Can't wait to try it out in my viral metagenomic tools. 🤩🧬🖥️ #bioinformatics #graphs #graph-algorithms #flow-decomposition #integer-linear-programming github.com/algbio/flowp...

Client-side bioinformatics workshop done ✅ massive thanks to legends @lonsbio.bsky.social @lfeatherstone.bsky.social @torstenseemann.bsky.social #ABACBS2025

Our cornetto work is now published at www.nature.com/articles/s41... It can do near-T2T assembly using @nanoporetech.com adaptive sampling - with less 💸 - reference agnostic, so works for non-humans - not just blood, even saliva Just presented at #abacbs2025 yesterday.

Workshops underway this morning! #ABACBS2025

And also a fantastic keynote at #ABACBS2025 on this story!

@acepigenetics.bsky.social team at #ABACBS2025! Grateful for the chance to help plan and organise this year’s meeting and to chair the single cell and spatial session, where my colleague and dear friend Ning is our invited speaker. Biggest congrats to @mmohenska.bsky.social for her poster award!

Thanks to the amazing Adelaide Bioinformatics community for making #ABACBS2025 an amazing event. We couldn’t have done it without you. A few more days of workshops to go before the festival finishes for another year 😀

10 years ago I took a flight to Sydney to attend my first COMBINE. The support of @shazanfar.bsky.social @hdashnow.bsky.social and @lonsbio.bsky.social meant the world and I made so many friends that year I still get to hang out with.Thanks to everyone for a successful conference! #ABACBS2025

What an amazing talk by Beth Cross as the winner of the best talk at COMBINE about the genomic jigsaw of blakpc transposons - and maybe it’s time for someone to develop a better (bacterial) promoter prediction tool #ABACBS2025

Follow Tom here: @tlitfin.bsky.social And preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
