Kraken 2 (K2) community: we are giving more attention to our new `k2` wrapper, and a NEW functionality since 2.17.0 is: you can build several component K2 indexes, e.g. each covering a different Refseq database, and then query them all at once...

October 2025 batch of Kraken 2 indexes, including core_nt and many others, available: benlangmead.github.io/aws-indexes/k2

Coming soon to K2: a feature for querying many K2 indexes as though they're a single index. Highly useful if the index you want to query is too big to build and/or fit in RAM.

Že tri leta se je tole pripravljalo v moji glavi

Jutri izide prva epizoda okoljskega podkasta Na tankem ledu. Potem sem zavlačevala, kolikor sem lahko in si še za danes pustila zadnje ure montaže. Seveda ni popoln, ampak nekje moramo začet.
