What a throwback!! Our lab has been doing @nanopore since 2017 🤓🤓

Cornetto v0.2.0 is now released for using programmable selective nanopore sequencing for genome assembly.
GitHub: github.com/hasindu2008/corne…
Paper: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Datasets: hasindu2008.github.io/cornet…
... and a banner made by Ira @GenTechGp referring to ‘no boring bits’.
Our cornetto work is now published at nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Cornetto can do near-T2T assembly using @nanopore adaptive sampling (readfish by @mattloose) & hifiasm by @ChengChhy
- with less 💸
- reference agnostic, so works for non-humans
- not just blood, even saliva
Not long now until our Long-Read Research Symposium on November 13th. See below the amazing line-up of speakers and talks. It's not too late to register for this free event - click the link --> eventbrite.com.au/e/garvan-l…

Check out our detailed evaluation of SLOW5 vs POD5 format for raw Nanopore data. TLDR: SLOW5 still the best nanopore data format.
For many of those who were asking on BLOW5 vs POD5 for nanopore signal data, here is a finally detailed benchmark we did:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Summary: performance of BLOW5 is >= POD5 (from ~= to 100X, see below), with benefit of having ~3 dependencies instead of >50.
Check out the excellent line-up of speakers we have for the @GarvanInstitute Long Read Research Symposium day
It is FREE to come along - this November 7th. Reserve your spot eventbrite.com.au/e/garvan-l…
Not long now until the @GarvanInstitute Long Read Research Symposium on November 7th. We will have talented speakers covering the advantages of both @nanopore and @PacBio data
Only a few spots left - don't miss out! 💃

Cut your Nanopore raw data files in half with our new compression method ex-zd. Thanks @Hasindu2008 for leading this project 🧬
Introducing ex-zd, a lossless+lossy signal compression for @nanopore signal data. While lossless can only save about 1-3% over vbz, lossy can cut the file sizes by almost half with no noticeable impact on basecalling or methylation calling accuracy.

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

Excited to share our latest work on somatic mutations in celiac disease! We discover expanded T cell clones with somatic driver mutations in individuals that don't respond to a gluten-free diet. With @FabioItaus, Chris Goodow and many others! Check it out: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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/10.1101/… . Great team work led by @Manu___Singh. Thank you to all authors!

Squigualiser preprint with a bunch of usecases is now available 🔥. Your feedback is appreciated.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
squigualiser has become more powerful 🚀. This signal pileup view of @nanopore r10 DNA signals will deepen your read analysis on IGV. github.com/hiruna72/squigual…
Take a break from worrying about the AllOfUs Umap and check out Squigualiser- our new tool for @nanopore signal data exploration. Great engineering by @hiruna72 and @Hasindu2008 as always 🔥🔥biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
