New release of NGMLR (v0.2.7) our long read mapper for improved variant detection for @Pacbio and Oxford Nanopore. github.com/philres/ngmlr Philipp Rescheneder. Improved handling of smaller dups, Support for read groups, etc. get it while its hot :)




After a successful launch at 3:22 p.m. ET, SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft with Liam and Col. Doug Hurley onboard is on its way to the International Space Station. Docking will occur May 31 at 10:29 a.m. ET: nasa.gov/live

starting our #hackathon BCM HGSC now! Exciting to come together (80 people) from almost around the world! Looking forward to hack on SV, pangenomics etc. Thx to : DNAnexus, Inc. PacBio Oxford Nanopore #everyone_is_awesome




Happy to see our #Bioinformatics hackathon manuscript out: f1000research.com/articles/10-24… Great teamwork (~80 international participants) and stay tuned for the upcoming event (fall 2021)! Many new tools around SV+ #COVID19 BCM HGSC From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine DNAnexus, Inc. F1000Research

Multifaceted project, enabled by FWF, Neuro Stem Modulation - SFB F78, European Research Council (ERC), Universität Wien, Vienna BioCenter @maxperutzlabs. Thanks to Rob Lucas & team @DNEP_UoM, Max Hofbauer loopbio quantitative biology, all co-authors, and eLife - the journal for a highly constructive reviewing process! bit.ly/3zcOy9x


Excited to present our work (Moritz Smolka) on new Sniffles at #PAGXXIX #Bioinformatics workshop today! Many new exciting features & performance improvements for SV calling on PacBio Oxford Nanopore. From mosaic to population SV calling modes! Early code release & preprint soon! BCM HGSC


Please RT: Happy to release Sniffles v2 with Moritz Smolka! We improved SV calling for accuracy+ speed. Solving population/family calling (~gVCF SV implementation)& calling mosaic SV over bulk LR data. Preprint soon BCM HGSC #Bioinformatics Oxford Nanopore PacBio github.com/fritzsedlazeck…


Nice work with Moritz Smolka && . Sniffles v2 for SV detection on @Pacbio & Oxford Nanopore. Improvements in speed and accuracy. We also solved the N+1 problem for population VCF files for SV and can identify mosaic SV. available at github.com/fritzsedlazeck… & conda biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



#Livechat: Michael Schatz is our latest #BloombergProf. He and Denis Wirtz will #Periscope today at 1pm. Join us!



Enhanced mapping + SV calling using Pacbio/Nanopore? Higher sensitivity, low FDR in plants, humans.. Check out poster: POA-215 #SMBE17 Follow us @Shop6pm!

Accurate detection of complex structural variations using single molecule sequencing with Fritz Sedlazeck Philipp Rescheneder et al biorxiv.org/content/early/…

New paper in press today at Nature Reviews Genetics: Piercing the dark matter: bioinformatics of long-range sequencing and mapping rdcu.be/J8Ib. Summarizes all the major ways long reads, linked reads, HiC and Optical Mapping are being used to advance genomics
