We're fired up about the opportunity to lead this important MRFF-funded project, along with our inspiring collaborators SusanWhiteAuthor, Michelle de Silva and many more 🚀🚀🚀

Happy & humbled to see our work on structural variation in Indigenous Australians out in nature. Deep gratitude to the Aboriginal communities whose leadership & engagement made it possible, & to our ANU NCIG (National Centre for Indigenous Genomics) collabs Hardip Patel @azure_peacock 🪃🧬🪃 nature.com/articles/s4158…


Bioinformatics behind: this is an example big project where we used S/BLOW5 ecosystem to efficiently, economically (saving compute, time, energy & money), consistently process & reliably archive 141 nanopore signal datasets (~100TB) on Australia's NCI-Gadi NCI Australia supercomputer.

Great summary! @BlackOchreOmics Bianca Nogrady is not here any more “We need to build relationships, we need to prove we are careful & considered stewards … & won’t make moves without communities being across the decisions … & have their voice heard in that process,” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Nice to play a small part in this. Fantastic work by Hope Tanudisastro & Dr Harriet Dashnow 🧬🧬🧬

Take a break from worrying about the AllOfUs Umap and check out Squigualiser- our new tool for Oxford Nanopore signal data exploration. Great engineering by Hiruna Samarakoon and Hasindu Gamaarachchi as always 🔥🔥biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Final version of our lamprey epigenome remodeling paper is now out in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Super excited to share our work on #celiac disease. We discovered T cells carrying somatic mutations which may explain chronic autoimmune disease medrxiv.org/content/10.110… . Great team work led by Manu Singh. Thank you to all authors!


Our #slow5curl paper is out! academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar… Big projects storing hundreds/thousands of Oxford Nanopore signal datasets on cloud storage like Amazon Web Services #s3 will be able to save 💸,⏲️ and bandwidth while improving the accessibility of datasets to those with limited computing ..

We are hosting a Long Read Research Symposium at Garvan Institute of Medical Research ! Our talented speakers will cover the advantages of both Oxford Nanopore and PacBio data. Join us to find out what long reads could do for you 🧬 eventbrite.com.au/e/garvan-long-…

Cut your Nanopore raw data files in half with our new compression method ex-zd. Thanks Hasindu Gamaarachchi for leading this project 🧬

Not long now until the Garvan Institute of Medical Research Long Read Research Symposium on November 7th. We will have talented speakers covering the advantages of both Oxford Nanopore and PacBio data Only a few spots left - don't miss out! 💃 eventbrite.com.au/e/garvan-long-…

Check out the excellent line-up of speakers we have for the Garvan Institute of Medical Research Long Read Research Symposium day It is FREE to come along - this November 7th. Reserve your spot eventbrite.com.au/e/garvan-long-…
