IMO it matters a lot as a 'first impression'

I did only very minor impl. contributions, but from my (non-expert) view, I like that (1) it installs easily (also on a MacBook) and (2) no header files. Felt much easier to get started with than, e.g., C++. I never truly learned good .h/.cpp practices, and I could never get OpenMP/g++ working well

As for results, isONclust3 handles a 37M reads PacBio dataset from a revio machine in under 10h while other algorithms fail (>256Gb mem or >120h runtime). On the other datasets, isONclust3 has comparable or better accuracy than the other benchmarked tools.

The algorithm follows isONclust's algorithm in the general structure (greedy minimizer matching) but adds three key concepts: high confidence minimizers, on-the-fly cluster information update, and iterative (post-)cluster merging.

The motivation to develop this algorithm came from the inability of other algorithms to process recent large datasets (10-100M reads) from Revio or PromethION machines.

@tolyan.bsky.social is our very last speaker, on randstrobes ( high sensitivity seeds ) and their evolution the multi context seeds

Oh the good ol’ carnac/isonclust(1) times :)

2 in a row for @ksahlin.bsky.social (👋🏻👏🏻), first is @alexanderjpetri.bsky.social on de novo clustering of long read RNA, a problem that brings memories...
