We invite you to try out Metagraph at https://t.co/ePQTUNef1p, learn more about our framework in the paper ( https://t.co/WQgDjIYDZL) or start building your own indexes from your own data ( https://t.co/W5vPFPym3T).

We would like to thank the bioinformatics community for years of support and openness. A special thanks to the Logan effort, whose contig set we use as input for one of our largest indexes.

While MetaGraph provides a lossless representation of the input k-mer set, it is not a lossless compression of the raw reads. To reach petabase scale, we remove noisy k-mers prior to indexing — a step that we show has only minimal impact on search sensitivity.

We show that MetaGraph indexes are both scalable and cost-efficient for querying. We Searching 1 Mbp of sequence against the entire SRA costs less than $1 on standard cloud infrastructure — making Petabase-scale biological data truly searchable and accessible.

Our indexes support fast exact matching as well as alignment with edits. Labels can represent sample metadata, coordinates or quantification values. We can store 10’000 human transcriptome samples in < 160 GB and return position-wise expression for any queried sequence.

We have already processed more than 10 Petabases of raw sequence data from the SRA and make the compressed indexes publicly available for search ( https://t.co/Mdhe96Z9Jw), download and cloud-based access.

At its core, MetaGraph represents all input sequences as labeled, succinct de Bruijn graphs — a highly compressed yet fully searchable structure. Each k-mer carries metadata labels that remain interactively queryable through a flexible API.

Modern biology produces vast amounts of raw sequencing data — genomes, transcriptomes, and protein sequences. MetaGraph provides a unified computational framework to index, query, and reason across this landscape of biological information.

After years of research and continuous refinement, we’re thrilled to share that our paper on the MetaGraph framework — enabling Petabase-scale search across sequencing data — has been published today in Nature ( https://t.co/WQgDjIYDZL).

Really excited about this work in progress with @curious_coding! A simple idea the turns out to work well in practice (it saves space already when plugged into SSHash) and can be easily proved to almost match the lower bound for randomized schemes. Still, many questions ahead! :)

Working more on minimizers now with @giulio_pibiri. So much fun! We can now do better than miniception for both small k (green) and large k (purple). This also breaks Schleimer's lower bound for random schemes. 1/3

@curious_coding and I extended the seed heuristic to exact alignment of long (Mbps) erroneous (≤15%) sequences. The empyrical near-linear runtime makes our aligner A*PA 250x faster than Edlib and WFA on synthetic data, and looks promising on human data. https://t.co/YmqdAOml32
