I second the *supposed* part. I have been using so far for only mundane scripts but damn it is powerful.

I've added 7 videos to my Burrows-Wheeler indexing playlist (www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...), rounding out the r-index series and adding a 5-part series on the move structure. Now 27 videos in that playlist. I aim to add videos on prefix-free parsing, PBWT, Wheeler languages/automata in the future.

So excited that this is finally out. This was among the longest and most uncertain (no)pun intended during my PhD, with different challenges, starting my from evaluation metrics to finding the right datasets, to tweak the method and interpreting the results.

WABI 2025 WABI Conference on Algorithms in Bioinformatics

The 25th iteration of the excellent Conference for Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI) starts tomorrow at UMD @umdscience.bsky.social at the Brendan Iribe Center. You can find details at the website wabiconf.github.io/2025/. We'll use the tag #WABI25 for the meeting!

🧬πŸ–₯️ oarfish v0.9.0 is out! The big improvement in this version is future-oriented. v0.9.0 allows the user to pass in transcript sequences via the `--annotated` option, the `--novel` option, or both. The provenance will be separately tracked to that later 1/4

πŸ–₯️🧬 The new release (v0.13.0) of piscem is out. However, almost all changes here are transparent to the user (except for the need to rebuild the index before using the new version). I want to take a second to talk about something that often goes unappreciated. 1/x

@mikelove.bsky.social it's been a pleasure and an insightful experience collaborating with you. Thank you for taking out the time to attend my defense.

We just released simpleaf v0.19.0 (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...). Make sure to pair it with piscem v0.12 for faster scATAC-seq processing. The other big feature & first explicit @scverse.bsky.social integration point is AnnData format output with the new `--anndata-out` flag!

Movi: A fast and cache-efficient full-text pangenome index Biocomputational method; Classification of bioinformatical subject; Genomic analysis

Very excited to see Movi (by @mohsenzakeri.bsky.social) now out in iScience: www.cell.com/iscience/ful.... Movi builds on the "move structure" pangenome index, a compressed full-text index and close cousin to r-index. Compared to r-index, the move structure is simpler and more cache-efficient.

It should definitely be doable if we store the rank and then we can perhaps later use it in the augmented bed file. We currently do support a SAM file as an output for the mappings for all the reads in the fastqs but then that does not do any deduplication/barcode correction.
