🧵1/2 AdapterRemoval v3, a dang fast(Q) processor, is here! 🚀
AdapterRemoval v3 filters and trims high-throughput sequencing data, merges overlapping reads, performs demultiplexing, & generates detailed QC reports (HTML & JSON), and does so much faster than #AdapterRemoval v2.

The paper is first-authored jointly by @zilongli21 and @ffstaeger and recently published in Bioinformatics. This method is designed for single sample SV genotyping. Stay tuned for population-level joint SV genotyping!

Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality

🧵4/5
Limitation: all SV genotype callers perform poorly for SVs with neighbors (>20% error), which make up ~40% of SVs. Our results apply to the remaining 60%. If SVs with neighbors are important to your analysis, HiFi data + kanpig is currently the least-bad option.

Big science highlights this month at our #EPIC seminar! Kees uncovered new insights into isolation by distance and shorebird diversity🐧, and Anna showed how ancient chewing gums provide a remarkable snapshot into #microbiome 🦠evolution and health. Fascinating work from both! 👏

Our monthly #EPIC seminars are back! 🎉
This month,Thomas Bøggild kicked things off with a fascinating talk on stopped recombination in new sex chromosomes, & Audald Lloret-Villas followed with great insights into recombination maps and imputation in #PopGen. See you next month!

Our new paper on Indonesian cattle #genomics is out on @NatureComms 🎉
Did you know Indonesian #cattle 🐂 were a mix of two species?
Great work: @XiWang91099530 @sagitaninta @HellerRasmus @casia16

What a busy August it’s been for our group!🌍✈️
From our Summer Course in Copenhagen to #EPIC25 in Aarhus and #ESEB25 in Barcelona.Amazing to see so many of our researchers sharing their work through talks and posters!
An inspiring month full of science and collaboration! 🙌✨
