Once again left #nanoporeconf inspired and so excited to try new ideas 💡

🔥This is what the second night of #pint25 looked like in the UK🇬🇧!

What an amazing night across our 45 locations! Thanks for all your posts!👓

Can you spot yourself in the collage?✨

Are you ready for the final night? Don't miss your last chance to join us!

Autocycler: long-read consensus assembly for bacterial genomes Motivation Long-read sequencing enables complete bacterial genome assemblies, but individual assemblers are imperfect and often produce sequence-level and structural errors. Consensus assembly using T...

New preprint! Autocycler is a tool for long-read consensus assembly of bacterial genomes. It's like Trycycler but can be run fully automated (without any human intervention).

Bacterial genome structural variation: prevalence, mechanisms, and consequences A vast number of bacterial genome sequences are publicly available. However, the majority were generated using short-read sequencing, producing fragmented assemblies. Long-read sequencing can generate...

🚨New publication🚨
Excited to share our review Bacterial genome structural variation: prevalence, mechanisms, & consequences, now out in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social

Brilliant working with @emmabeansworth.bsky.social, @gemma-langridge.bsky.social and @apreston243.bsky.social!

Biased sampling confounds machine learning prediction of antimicrobial resistance Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing threat to human health. Increasingly, genome sequencing is being applied for the surveillance of bacterial pathogens, producing a wealth of data to train...

Interested in predicting AMR in bacteria? We show ignoring phylogenetic structure in genome collections leads to overly optimistic evaluations of machine learning methods for AMR prediction. With @nwheeler443.bsky.social and former PhD student Yanying Yu. 🦠🧫🧬🖥️🧪

Modern Warfare Is Breeding Deadly Superbugs. Why? Researchers are trying to understand why resistant pathogens are so prevalent in the war-torn nations of the Middle East.

Impressive article and super depressing. I had never heard “iraqibacter”. 🦠🧫
