Very glad to see this preprint by @lh3lh3.bsky.social and Meyerson labs www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... confirming our finding of artifactual fold-back inv in long reads (Fig S1 in our @natmethods.nature.com‬ paper presenting SAVANA, which filters such artifacts to improve SV calling 👇

Work by researchers in the group of @isidrolauscher.bsky.social at EMBL-EBI, the R&D lab of @genomicsengland.bsky.social, in collaboration with clinical partners at @ucl.ac.uk, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes, and Boston Children’s Hospital.

Very well done indeed @hbelrick.bsky.social ! 😀

SAVANA is out in the wild 🦁! #SAVANA detects haplotype-resolved somatic structural variants (SVs), copy number aberrations, and calculates tumour purity and ploidy using long-read data. Together with it, a robust, data-driven benchmarking effort! Below is a thread with all the advantages 👇

Thrilled to see #SAVANA out in @natmethods.nature.com 🥳 SAVANA detects haplotype-resolved somatic SVs, copy number aberrations & infers tumour purity & ploidy using long-read sequencing with or WITHOUT a matched germline control 👇https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-025-02708-0

In this #ToolsoftheTrade article, @timcoorens.bsky.social describes the development of #SComatic, an algorithm enabling the detection of somatic mutations in single cell sequencing data, & its use to study lineage relations + mutational signatures.

We have two #postdoc positions open to join my team at @ebi.embl.org in beautiful Cambridge!
We are a mission-driven, highly collaborative and dynamic team located at the Wellcome Genome Campus, one of the most exciting hubs in the world focused on biomedical research 👇

Very excited to share the stellar speaker line-up at our ecDNA conference this June in London! 👇
If you're interested in #ecDNA and want to hear or present groundbreaking research, register now. Abstract submission deadline is 14 March.
