Excited to share matchbox. It’s super fast and versatile to search for patterns in reads, I’m curious to see all the uses it will find!
Congrats to @jakobschuster.bsky.social , co-supervisors @michaelbclark.bsky.social @mritchieau.bsky.social and team!

Holy crap! This looks awesome. We've been working toward something just like this (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...), and matchbox seems great; and in Rust! Perhaps we've been scooped, but this looks amazing either way!

Keen to use an open source workflow for nanobody discovery? Check out Alpseq 🦙

Alpseq’s diversity analysis, enrichment counts & clustering allow different approaches for nanobody selection

Great collab with bioinformaticians @qgouil.bsky.social Kathleen Zeglinski

Long-read transcriptomics is advancing quickly, we benchmarked leading bulk and single-cell protocols in this awesome collaborative effort!
We hope it will be a valuable resource for the community.
