A new Rust for Bioinformatics approach also helps - conserved regions are already aligned to each other so distance calcs become a vector similarity search problem. github.com/wwood/smafa Big distance => novel species.

Two bits of Rust software I've split off from another project so others can use them now: 1) genomap, which is a simple type for storing generic data indexed by a chromosome. Maintains smart chromosome ordering automatically (i.e. no more chr1, chr10). github.com/vsbuffalo/geno…

2) recmap, which parses HapMap-formatted recombination maps, and interpolates the map at arbitrary positions. This is a library crate with optional command line tool. The CLI tool will interpolate recombination map positions and rates for a BED file github.com/vsbuffalo/recm…

#RTD 21: Today is about `todo!` from the std lib doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.todo…. todo! marks code paths you intend to implement, but haven't finished. In our example, it works with types to allow our code to compile (infers the proper type for the else branch)! play.rust-lang.org/?version=stabl…

Shuttle Lisa Crossman One of the early adopters in the sciences, or at least earliest experimenters. Also Rust for Bioinformatics exists.

I've released a new version of xgt (v0.3) which introduces the -k/--insecure option to disable peer SSL verification. This option should only be used when the GTDB's API has an SSL certificate. Enjoy! Share! #rustlang #bioinformatics github.com/Ebedthan/xgt

For my fellow rustaceans in bioinformatics, I made a new crate to iterate over minimizers in a sequence. It supports custom hashers and bit encoding, and integrates the mod-minimizers introduced by Giulio Ermanno Pibiri and Ragnar {Groot Koerkamp} 🦋! crates.io/crates/minimiz…

Ok #rustlang folks; question! When you publish a crate, cargo visits each dual dependency (deps where you provide both a version and a GitHub url), and “cleans” them to just include the dependency on the crates.io crate. Is there a way to get this without building?

Linux when? Linux now. 🎉🐧 For the last 6 months, our team and our open source community have been working hard to bring Zed to Linux. As of today, we've released our first, official, stable build of Zed on Linux! zed.dev/linux
