Great to see this story out - full paper is here -
Groundbreaking research from scientists @mattloose from @UoNLifeSci @UoNFacultyMHS & Medics @NUHMedicine means brain tumours could be diagnosed in as little as 2 hours using technology from @nanopore. Read the full story ▶️

This is worth looking at. Trying some genomes we have assembled with earlier versions of hifiasm, hifiasm plus herro and then this new version of hifiasm. The early assembly results suggest that now hifiasm alone is equivalent to what we got with herro but with less compute!.
The latest hifiasm can directly assemble standard @nanopore simplex R10 reads, without HERRO correction or other preprocessing, to phased contigs of contiguity comparable to HiFi assembly. Like before, you can further add ultra-long, Hi-C or trio data for better assembly.

I’m on my way to LRUA2024. Really looking forward to seeing old friends and new as well as talking about long (and short) reads, modifications and what can be done with them.

Great to see this review out from @simonpdeacon @SjsmithStuart and Simon Paine from @nottmhospitals on @nanopore potential in diagnostic pathology. This link is free for 50 days apparently!.

And if we merge the data? Well - here we get an N50 of 89Mb, but a longest contig of 228.5 Mb and a contig count of 113. A lot has changed in not many years!

119 Gb from the new buffer flowcell? assembly N50 is 103 Mb, longest contig 193 Mb, total contig count 52.
