MMseqs2-GPU has been introduced, showing a 177x speed improvement. Also, a GPU back-end for FoldSeek is coming! 🔥 The future of bioinfo will be rewritten in CUDA. I'm really grateful for the work of amazing scientist like @milot_mirdita and the lab of @thesteinegger

Have you ever wondered how evolution looks at the finest scale? Check out our new preprint on genotype networks of viral quasispecies. Huge thanks to my mentors @brigan_raman, Susanna Manrubia and collaborator @EsterLzaro1!

New preprint out on genotype networks of viral quasispecies: "Hierarchical genotype networks and incipient ecological speciation in Qβ phage quasispecies" arxiv.org/abs/2411.07110

Published in 2009, bwa-aln is one of the oldest short-read aligners. It remains a popular choice for aligning ancient DNA reads. The following blog post explains the algorithmic reasons. lh3.github.io/2024/09/28/why…

I am very happy to report that the review @BanfieldJill and I wrote on Modern Microbiology just appeared in @CellPressNews: cell.com/cell/abstract/… Our celebration of microbiology also made it to the cover of this issue and we hope you will find yourself in it, too.

Preprint on "BWT construction and search at the terabase scale". We can compress 100 human genomes to 11GB in 21 hours, find SMEMs with it, do affine-gap alignment and retrieve similar local haplotypes. 7.3Tb commonly sequenced bacterial genomes ⇒ 30GB arxiv.org/abs/2409.00613

Our protocols manuscript has been accepted🥳 I can't wait to share it with everyone once it is available in final form! x.com/jlsteenwyk/sta…

NEW preprint: #PhyKIT is a command-line tool for analyzing multiple sequence alignments and phylogenies. Here, we detail #protocols for using PhyKIT to build #phylogenomic supermatrices, quantifying biases/#errors therein, identifying putative radiations & so much more.

This paper probably won't make a big splash since it doesn't play into the "AI is going to take over the world" narrative, but the results are profound: *real* data is still limiting Unlikely models will continue to improve as they have for the last few years without a…

Yang Lu talks about BLAST e-values and highlights that dependency on the database, depending on the db it either over or underestimates the e-value. To fix this they propose a SG-pvalue. #ISMB2024
