Our hitchhiking paper is out at genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... great collaborative effort with Prasad Sarashetti, @jlipovac.bsky.social, Filip Tomas and JJ Liu.
Briefly, the nanopore is enough for high-quality human genomes. Recently, HERRO showed that even UL is sufficient. 1/3

A great opportunity if the idea of paving new roads in an uncharted territory of bioinfo algorithms excites you. Getting to work with and learn from brilliant and kind colleagues is what I have found to be an added bonus of working in this team.
The Genome Informatics team is hiring! We are a smart, fun, and creative team that is working on the cutting edge of bioinformatics, including Constellation read mapping, an exciting new technology from Illumina enabling long range information from short reads. Also, Vitor is an awesome manager :-)

Theoretical/datastructure papers should have summarizing figures! One, because visuals (at least for me) help explaining and understanding, and two, because it's much quicker to refer back to and 're-understand' a figure than to search the text for what you need.

I am incredibly proud of the work being done by the bioinformatics and assay team to enable Constellation mapped read technology. I feel very fortunate to work with such bright and talented people :-)

The company offered more details on its "constellation" mapped read technology, Illumina Protein Prep assay, 5-base genome, PIPseq V single-cell assay, and paired 500-base MiSeq reads.

Or CHM13.
who knew it would be easier to get everyone to switch social media platforms than getting them to use hg38

Are there any software, programming, Rust, C++, related starter packs already available?

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)

Yay! My post-doctoral work is finally turned into an article in Nature Methods. Interested in polishing long reads assemblies using Illumina short reads and scaffolding using long or hic reads? You might find some interesting tricks in Hypo here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Constructing telomere-to-telomere diploid genome by polishing haploid nanopore-based assembly - Nature Methods
This work introduces two polishers for refining the draft genome generated from nanopore long reads, as well as an assembler pipeline for producing telomere-to-telomere diploid genome with low error r...
