We are happy to present a new paper on gastric tumour evolution in response to peri-operative chemotherapy. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/6
Tumor clone dynamics in gastro-esophageal cancer organoids reveal a non-genetic memory of neoadjuvant chemotherapy via downregulation of NFκB signaling
Adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction exhibit genetic and non-genetic heterogeneity that impact clinical outcomes, though the underlying mechanisms behind drug resistance remain poorly unde...

New work from the lab trying to wrap our heads around the massive complexity of the human transcriptome revealed by long-read RNA-seq! Fun collab with Gloria Sheynkman. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Perplexity as a Metric for Isoform Diversity in the Human Transcriptome
Long-read sequencing (LRS) has revealed a far greater diversity of RNA isoforms than earlier technologies, increasing the critical need to determine which, and how many, isoforms per gene are biologic...

🚨 Our GW paper is out in Nature Methods!🥲

GW is a fast genomics browser (up to 100x faster!)
github.com/kcleal/gw

Also, just released a Python interface for GW

A really useful resource
Happened upon this interesting website 42basepairs.com/browse. Came across it today when looking at some publicly available whole-genome sequencing data. #genetics #genomics

🧬🖥️ Just released Dysgu v1.8 which now supports phasing of structural variants when using long reads. Makes SV calling much more sensitive - see PacBio benchmark 👉 github.com/kcleal/SV_Be... dysgu repo github.com/kcleal/dysgu...

🧬🖥️ Sharing an update to my SV benchmark repo. More callers have been added for the CMRG/GIAB benchmarks. github.com/kcleal/SV_Be.... Also now uses #Nextflow and tests the newest #PacBio Vega data, along with #ONT kit14. Results are on the GitHub page 👉

Hi all. Just released a fast library (C++/Rust/Python) for performing interval intersections. Uses a novel superset-index that tends to be faster than current libs, and also has a SIMD accelerated counting algorithm 👇 github.com/kcleal/super...

I made a starter pack for algorithmic genomics. It's certainly incomplete, but already has a ton of awesome peeps. Let me know if you know people I should add (with a focus on algorithms and data structures in genomics)
