LoVis4u v0.0.9 is released. Now with new compact styles for A4 layouts, including one- and two-column figures with adjusted fonts and object sizes. Check out the examples in the gallery and visit the new user guide page: art-egorov.github.io/lovis4u/Galler…

Easy taxonomic profiling with the Metabuli App! Explore your samples with publication-ready Sankey and Krona plots. We accelerated Metabuli further, classifying 2x22M reads vs. GTDB in just 43 min on a MacBook Pro M2. 🧵1/4 🚀github.com/steineggerlab/… 📄nature.com/articles/s4159…

After three years of hard work, I’m thrilled to share the brainchild of my PhD project. Jaeger: a deep learning tool for identifying bacteriophage sequences in metagenomes! 🧬🦠 Empowering exploration of the viral world with greater accuracy and insight. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to announce that our (me and Yun William Yu) metagenome profiler sylph (github.com/bluenote-1577/…) is now published in Nature Biotechnology! 1/5

For SA Bioinformaticians (or anyone really!), we're doing a logo competition for next year's ABACBS conference. If you're creative and know some famous South Australian landmarks, then you're definitely qualified to submit. Prizes and glory will be showered on the best logo

Daria Frolova's paper in plasmid relatedness now out in MGen! She uses rearrangement distances & shared seq content to build a relatedness network of plasmids, identifies hubs which are likely transposons, and then clusters related plasmids. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… Microbiology Society

Friendly reminder that if you want to contribute to science, release your code/models. Not (just) a server with 10 daily jobs. A system like AlphaFold —built on "public goods" provided for free— must be equally open to the scientific community in response pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33984281/

A little bit overdue, but here are my thoughts on Oxford Nanopore's recent release of Medaka: rrwick.github.io/2024/10/17/med…

Hot on the heels of Artyom's preprint on our locus visualisation tool LoVis4u comes a new preprint from him on systematic prediction of variable hotspots/islands in phage/plasmid/prokaryotic seqs. iLund4u is fast and can handle millions of seqs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you want to try out the new --bacteria Medaka polishing option after reading Ryan's thoughts in his latest blogpost, the newest Hybacter v0.10.0 release now includes it as the default github.com/gbouras13/hybr…

Thankful for the opportunity to speak at #ASMNGS about the work we're doing at the WPHL 🦬 to further improve Bactopia! (haha also🏔️!) Per the usual, reach out if you have any questions! Slides are available at: bactopia.github.io/latest/impact-… #nextflow #bioinformatics #bacteria

If you have access to AMD GPUs and are brave to be an early tester, this is for you: We (mostly by mungbungo) have a new beta version of slorado that can do some nanopore basecalling on AMD GPUs. Could you try instructions at github.com/BonsonW/slorado & let us know how it goes

If you are from Australia and have access to Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre Setonix cluster, you may also try the shared binaries here bonsonw.github.io/slorado/docs/p….

New year, new assemblies! I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes! It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention. Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autocyc… (1/5)

We happily present: “Bakta Web – rapid and standardized genome annotation on scalable infrastructures” Oxford University Press NAR’s Web Server issue doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… Easy to use, no registration, fast, various visualizations, in sync with Bakta CLI: bakta.computational.bio (1/5)
