A complete diploid human genome benchmark for personalized genomics
Human genome resequencing typically involves mapping reads to a reference genome to call variants; however, this approach suffers from both technical and reference biases, leaving many duplicated and ...

Excited to share our EvANI benchmarking workflow, published in Briefings in Bioinformatics
doi.org/10.1093/bib/...
Computing average nucleotide identity (ANI) is neither conceptually nor computationally trivial. Its definition has evolved over years, with different meanings and assumptions (1/5)

Sometimes you meet absolutely incredible bioinfo-magicians. It was a huge privilege when
@shenwei356.bsky.social
joined our group for a year on an
@embl.org
sabbatical. While here, he developed a new way of aligning to millions of bacteria, called LexicMap 1/n

Efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes with LexicMap - Nature Biotechnology
LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler! Nanopore's getting accurate, but 1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies? 2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them? with co-author Max Marin

Our high-precision metagenomic strain caller, PHLAME, is now published in Cell Reports!!
www.cell.com/cell-reports...
PHLAME works on tough sample types -- including those with coexisting strains of a species and low depth.

A decade ago, we had thousands of bacterial genomes. Now, we have millions. How to scale computational methods? Our paper in
@naturemethods.bsky.social
answers this: use evolutionary history to guide compression and search.
