Longdust, a new tool to identify highly repetitive STRs, VNTRs, satellite DNA and other low-complexity regions (LCRs). Similar to SDUST but for long regions. https://t.co/xUFgpmatJ5

While everyone was obsessing over CRISPR, a small team just quietly published a paper in Science solving genetic medicine's biggest problem. They created a system that can fix thousands of different mutations at once. Here's how they did it ๐Ÿงต

Our new paper examining how to analyse longread RNA-seq with no reference genome. We compare approaches for assembly and downstream analysis, from transcript accuracy to differential expression. Lead by @alexyfyf. Thnx to all contributors incl. @QGouil for the pea data!

For anyone who has struggled with code navigation of the nested @nf_core shared modules, rejoice! The new @nextflowio #VSCode extension code navigation makes this super fast! ๐ŸŽ‰

Powerful code navigation features let you (alt/ctrl) + click on imports, processes and workflows to go directly to their definition. This means you no longer need to dig through the file navigation to see where the code is being defined!

Google has a new experimental tool (Illuminate) that takes a link to a preprint and creates a "podcast" discussing the paper. I tested this with a few preprints that recently caught my attention (Ropebwt3, genomic language models, VEP guidelines)

Published today in @Nature, we describe an approach for single-molecule protein reading on @nanopore arrays. By utilizing ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore, we achieved single-amino-acid sensitivity.
