I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With Wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘

It has been public for a while, but with #VoM2024 starting, today is as good as any to introduce our new tool phage genome annotation tool Phold. Phold uses structural homology to assign functions to phage proteins (1/n)

How low can you go? Short-read polishing of Oxford Nanopore bacterial genome assemblies. Published #OpenAccess and fee-free in #MGen using a #PublishAndRead agreement: doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0…

I finally got around to testing HERRO (github.com/lbcb-sci/herro), the new Oxford Nanopore read correction algorithm which takes simplex ONT reads to PacBio-HiFi-level accuracy. I was impressed! Findings are on my blog in a two-part post: rrwick.github.io/2024/07/26/her… rrwick.github.io/2024/07/31/her…

Our OnION sequencing computer now has a little sibling: Spring OnION! Short post with some stats and benchmarks: rrwick.github.io/2024/08/16/spr…

Excited to share this preprint where we’ve used genomic analysis of >3000 genomes to study Klebsiella pneumoniae in a One Health perspective 🦠🔬👩‍💻#OneHealth #KLEBGAP #KlebClub Iren Høyland Löhr @DrKatHolt NOR-KLEB-NET

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

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…

Just had my first experience with CycloneSEQ data and shared my findings in this blog post: rrwick.github.io/2024/12/17/cyc… How does CycloneSEQ compare to Oxford Nanopore? I looked at both read-level and consensus-level accuracy. Check it out!
