Exciting preprint from Haoyu Cheng (not on bluesky?) and @lh3lh3.bsky.social: building amazing Nanopore assemblies just got faster and more accessible! Thrilled to have played a small part in this work!

This new Hifiasm --ont option is amazing. It worked like a charm for us in the nanopore adaptive sampling based assembly paradigm we introduced in a preprint recently.
