Honored to have participated in the IPSN Global Partners Forum in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭, organized by the World Health Organization (World Health Organization (WHO)) and Doherty Institute. [1/5]🧵

Excited to share my first JOSS publication 🎉 Snk: A #Snakemake CLI and Workflow Management System - joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…

Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla. doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Ben WoOdcroft Rhys Newell Centre for Microbiome Research 🧵1/6

The latest hifiasm can directly assemble standard Oxford 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.

Reminder! In the coming weeks, GenBank submitters will be required to include 'location of collection' (geo_loc_name) and 'date of collection' (collection_date) for sequence data. More info: ow.ly/1eK450Uoxre

I really hope there isn't a Y2.25K bug.

New year, new assemblies! I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes! It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention. Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autocyc… (1/5)

🦘✂️ Thanks to CZI Science, Wytamma and I are writing the next version of the Snippy bacterial variant calling pipeline. We want your input on what features s it will have. Please fill out this (longish) survey to help make Snippy great again! forms.gle/YJP6WQjsk8KKQx…

🦠🧬🖥️ New Bakta DB v6.0 released! After a year, it was time for a Bakta database update - and it's a huge one: - IPS: 330.9M - PSC: 135.3M - PSCC: 37M doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… 👇 1/6

🌟 Share your insights at our 2025 Applied Bioinformatics Conference! Contribute to the effective implementation of data-driven #PublicHealth with a talk or poster at #ABPHM25 Accredited by RC of Pathologists for 12 credits🚀 ⏰Abstract deadline: 25 March 📎 Info: bit.ly/3XW3XIX

Highly concerning for science!

"Next generation Snippy will allow a detailed comparison of the world's bacterial genomes.” Torsten Seemann & Wytamma are building #OpenSource software to better understand how bacteria evolve + defeat antibiotics

Last week we had an action packed agenda visiting our World Health Organization (WHO) IPSN Catalytic Grant Salmonella/Shigella #WGS #AMR project partners at MRI, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 A full week of training, site visits and impactful policy meetings. Thanking Dr Sujatha and MRI for the amazing hospitality🧬👩🏻‍🔬
