Objects, for me, are one of those things that are conceptually easy to understand, but once you have to write your own this understanding breaks down so quickly
What the heck is an object (Seurat object?) in object-oriented programming? 🤔 Let's break it down with bioinformatics examples👇

New year, new assemblies!
I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes!
It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention.
