Very happy to see Wasm gaining traction as a low barrier to entry alternative for programming thanks to the massive efforts by @quantstack.bsky.social 🎉 We're collecting Wasm resources for bioinformatics and beyond at wasmodic.github.io
Super happy that the AllTheBacteria hypothetical proteins are now in AFDB - hopefully we can start to understand the function of some of them at least 😁
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

A cross-stitched logo for the phylogenetic inference program PAUP. In yellow are the letters P-A-U-P, attached at the base in the pattern of a phylogenetic tree. The "tree" is outlines in dark blue, with light blue in the background. The counters in the Ps and A are orange.
I made this over the break. Why would I do such a thing? Am I some sort of #phylogenetics dork? Well... yes, but that's not why. To fully explain I'll have to do one of those sewing-strings-wrapped-around-a-spool dealies. 1/ 🧪
🚀 Just launched: GraphBin Visualise (WASM) a browser-based visualisation tool for comparing initial metagenomic binning results vs refined results from GraphBin - all running in your browser, no backend required. (1/n)

Yes! All @lonsbio.bsky.social’s effort, but no longer just c/c++ :D
Workshop landing page with demos here -> wasmodic.github.io
Oops I realised I forgot the link in my post! But yes check out the demos on the page @yekwah.bsky.social - slides are also linked in the resources. let us know if you get something running or run into trouble
Linking minds ❤️
Thanks so much @gbouras13.bsky.social!! really glad you enjoyed and got something out of it 🤩
This was one of the best workshops I have ever been to.
I came out of it with a Wasm app for making pharokka/phold/phynteny's genome maps - available at gbouras13.github.io/phold-plot-w...
It runs the browser almost instantly - please give it a go with your phages of interest!

Woot! The mim preprint is live now. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Happy Thanksgiving!

Client-side bioinformatics workshop done ✅ massive thanks to legends @lonsbio.bsky.social @lfeatherstone.bsky.social @torstenseemann.bsky.social #ABACBS2025
Loved hearing from Dr. Wytamma Wirth about a deep learning approach to bacterial taxonomic clasification, BABET. The coolest part for me was hearing how tiny the database is!

Grateful to #COMBINE2025 and #ABCABS2025 for the opportunity to present my PhD work. Always inspiring to meet people who are as excited about your research as you are 😅
It's not just because @torstenseemann.bsky.social is a bioinformatics legend but this may be my favourite #abacbs2025 poster because I'm a #trek tragic 🖖
That’s awesome 🙌 keen to take it for a spin
@wytamma.bsky.social : so, it took a little bit of extra time (not the flight back from the CZI meeting), but I decided to just f#&$ing do it, and the basic code to build and parse with the auxiliary fastq index is working (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...). 1/2
Wytamma Wirth from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social speaking about a new deep learning approach to bacterial taxonomic classification
Sci-nonfi
Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt
It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.
😮how does it compare?
Great work team!!
I'm hiding ;)
Your #MicroSeq2025 committee - @mozztacular.bsky.social , Asad Prodhan, @royalfizzbin.bsky.social , Mozammel Hoque, @wytamma.bsky.social , Rebecca Roach, and @rhyshparry.bsky.social - are all here and ready to go! 🫡
Please feel free to reach out to any of us w/ questions or concerns at any time ♥️
Stoked to finally have a preprint out for Phold, our tool that uses protein structural information to enhance phage genome annotation #phagesky 1/n

Howdy! I'm currently writing up version 4 of Bactopia!
Similar to previous major versions, I've started an issue on Github to track v4 progress. If you are a user of Bactopia and would like to help with feedback or with code, check out the following link:

MicroSeq2025 is an online meeting being held on September 3rd and 4th, focused on research being conducted on sequencing data generated from microbiological samples (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). MicroSeq2025 will feature four plenary speakers: Dr Peter Mee from Agriculture Victoria Research, Dr Leah Roberts from The University of Queensland's Centre for Clinical Research, Dr Rose Collis from the Hopkirk Research Institute, and Dr Jackie Mahar from the Australian Animal Health Laboratory & Health and Biosecurity, Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness, CSIRO. Their profile pictures are decorated with cartoons of microbes.
We are delighted to announce our plenary speakers for #MicroSeq2025! Dr Rose Collis, Dr Jackie Mahar, Dr Peter Mee, and Dr Leah Roberts! We’ll be treated to four excellent talks across September 3-4. We can’t wait! Register below👇

MicroSeq2025 is an online meeting being held on September 3rd and 4th, focused on research being conducted on sequencing data generated from microbiological samples (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). MicroSeq2025's cash prizes for best talk ($150) and best lightning talk ($50) are sponsored by The Australian Society for Microbiology. The best virology talk ($100) is sponsored by the Australasian Virology Society. The People's Choice awards for best talk ($100) and best lightning talk ($50) are sponsored by Microbial Genomics. In 2025, the new Innovation in Bioinformatics prize ($100) is being introduced. This prize is specifically for a talk of any length featuring a newly developed bioinformatic software, tool, or pipeline applicable to research utilising the sequencing data of microbes. Merch prizes will be given to the best question asked in each session.
🏆 #MicroSeq2025 has plenty of awards on offer! 💰 Cash prizes for best talks are sponsored by @aussocmic.bsky.social, @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social, and #MGen.
Plus, loads of merch on offer for the best question of each session! 🖊️📔
