Another #metagenome assembly algorithm for #PacBio HiFi data - introducing Alice!

I'll be very interested to see how this performs on some of our trickier datasets.

More broadly, I'm happy to see continual development of tools for long-read #metagenomics.

Alice: fast and haplotype-aware assembly of high-fidelity reads based on MSR sketching
We introduce Mapping-friendly Sequence Reduction (MSR) sketches, a sketching method for high-fidelity (HiFi) long reads, and Alice, an as-sembler that operates directly on these sketches. MSR produces...

Here are a few highlights:
We first identified a 1.58 Mbp plasmid in an infant gut metagenome thanks to @pacbio.bsky.social sequencing. The average bacterial genome size in these communities is usually less than 5 Mbp so this was curious to us. We then found similar elements in other infants.

Most plasmids described in E. coli are small compared to the megaplasmids we identified here! Check out the preprint if you want to learn about these mysterious large elements and their potential functions 🧬. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work on this in @banfieldlab.bsky.social
Megaplasmids associate with Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.30.679422v1

Our first PacBio Revio run with over 140Gb average HiFi yield! This was for a pool of 16 human WGS libraries across 8 SMRTcells, giving >20x coverage per sample. We're running these samples as part of the "Genome of Sweden" project 🧬🇸🇪

New #metagenome assembly comparison of PacBio, ONT, and Illumina in human gut #microbiomes.

- "HiFi generated more cMAGs than ONT at every depth with either assembly method"
- "HiFi cMAGs had significantly higher completeness and lower contamination than ONT"
