Our fast haplotagging paper is now published (nature.com/articles/s4146…) - see the earlier thread for a summary. Thanks to Kishwar Alexey Kolesnikov for leading the work and collaborators: @Johngorzynski, Sneha D. Goenka, euan ashley, Miten Jain, Karen Miga, @BenedictPaten

A friendly reminder that today (August 1st) is the last day to register for the T2T-F2F! Hope you can join us (details below and reach out if you have any questions)

Published today in nature, we describe an approach for single-molecule protein reading on Oxford Nanopore arrays. By utilizing ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore, we achieved single-amino-acid sensitivity. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Genome sequencing is faster and cheaper than ever – but obstacles to broad adoption remain. Join Google’s genomics lead Andrew Carroll & UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute’ @BenedictPaten for a live-streamed discussion on genomic analysis and equity: goo.gle/3ZmPyYO

New preprint from our lab 🚨 We explored the variability in ribosomal DNA copy number and activity across humans of the world with Jennifer Gerton Paxton Kostos Andrea Guarracino Steven Solar Erik Garrison Adam Phillippy and others not on X biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

I am going on the faculty job market this year, so if your home department is starting a search, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Personalized pangenome preferences serve as crucial breakthroughs, furthering HPRC's mission to diversify genetic representation. nature highlights a more customized approach facilitating improvements in genetic diversity and reducing genotyping errors. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Accurate genome assemblies are key for research. DeepPolisher uses Pacbio HiFi alignments to improve base-level accuracy, cutting errors by half and reducing indel errors by over 70%. ✍🏼Mira Mastoras Kishwar @BenedictPaten Mobin Asri Here's how... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
