🍾🍾
A wonderful day for @bonsaiseqbioinfo.bsky.social, with @camillemrcht.bsky.social's and @npmalfoy.bsky.social's HDR defenses.
Congrats for the amazing work!

It's a great chance for the team to have you both!

I was delighted to participate to @jobim2025.bsky.social. I had the chance to present Vizitig twice, during the session on data structures and algorithms, and during the mini-symposium on Pangenomics.

Many thanks to the organizers for this amazing conference !

Among other flash talks @imartayan.bsky.social presented recent techniques for rapid assessment of pangenome openness, and @bdegardins.bsky.social did a demo of Vizitig for exploring different small pangenomes

Congrats to both and to other award winners 🎊
Super proud that @bdegardins.bsky.social and Fiona Hak earned a Mini-symposium prize for the presentation and poster award at #JOBIM2025 🎉🏆

Could a "simple" read reordering have impact on the compression of your fasta file? Find out in this publication from Mathilde Girard, PhD student in the group.
Paper alert!
We present Oreo a tools that reorder long reads datasets in a way to compress them efficiently with ANY universal compressor like gz, zstd, xz ...
TLDR: You can get state of the art compression WITHOUT a dedicated compressor/decompressor!

Preprint alert from the group 🚨 super fast grep-like sequence selection
A common approach is to use k-mer indexes to identify datasets that share a significant number of k-mers with a query sequence.
This problem has been studied extensively, and I recommend the survey of @camillemrcht.bsky.social, a great introduction to the subject

First Bonsai group's PhD to defend this year. You're a unique student Thomas, thanks for sharing these 3 years with us. Now we wish you the best.
Thomas Baudeau defended his thesis on Studying the properties of viral long reads mapping methods - congrats docteur Baudeau you'll be deeply missed in the team. I'm very glad I got the chance to work with you. Thomas is also on the lookout for a postdoc 👀
