LongcallR is a SNP caller for long RNA-seq reads. It uses phasing to distinguish germline SNPs from A-to-I editing events which are frequent in RNA-seq data. It achieves decent SNP accuracy and reports the phasing of reads and SNPs. In Rust!

Minimap2-2.27 released with new presets for accurate Nanopore reads and Illumina Complete Long Reads (both recommended by vendors), along with a few minor features and bug fixes. Output alignment identical to v2.26 except the value at a custom tag. github.com/lh3/minimap2/r…

What high-performance language to learn in bioinformatics? I have been asked many times on the question, so I decided to write down my thought in a blog post. This is going to be controversial.
