Jeremy Wang developed rammap, a minimap2 rewrite in Rust. It achieves comparable or better performance than minimap2 and produces identical output to minimap2. During rewrite, Jeremy found two long-existing bugs in minimap2 which are fixed in v2.31. https://t.co/9FNiwgbgqW

Super excited to be launching two things today: #RustQC 🦀🧬 and https://t.co/3TQD6dpWTr 🚀
I used AI to rewrite 15 RNA-seq QC tools into a single Rust binary (I've never written any Rust). It ended up being over 60x faster. Here's the story 🧵

Yesterday was another great day for @LabCflores There’s a new Doctor in town. Very proud of @eva_suap for such a mature defense that incorporated a tremendous amount of work. Keep up the good work!
🧬🔬 El ITER contribuye en el desarrollo de una herramienta genómica para la vigilancia del Virus Respiratorio Sincitial (VRS).
El estudio, publicado en Genome Medicine, mejora el seguimiento de mutaciones y la preparación frente a amenazas sanitarias.

I am deeply grateful to my supervisors @ciuffreda_laura and @LabCflores for their guidance; to my collaborators @micromunidad, @adrmunozb et al., for the teamwork and the funding bodies for supporting this work.
In this work, we present a complete workflow for RSV whole-genome sequencing, from sample processing to lineage classification, adapted for @illumina and @nanopore platforms.
Interested in the genomics of respiratory diseases and Precision Medicine?
We are now offering a position in @LabCflores under my supervision.

📅 Applications are open until September 12, 2025.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
The final version of the study just came out including additional comparisons and validate the pipeline in datasets obtained with R10 @nanopore version and in viral and bacterial genomes. Check it out! https://t.co/IzIRR6rLjU
Dorado is 1.0! 🎉
This London Calling release updates our DNA and RNA models to v5.2 with a new suite of mod models that are higher accuracy, lower FP rates, and significantly faster.
- Introducing dorado variant 👀
- HAC error rate is down over 25%.
- New 2’Ome mod models
- Hopper & Blackwell SUP speed ups

🧬 El equipo de Genómica del #ITER ha conseguido un avance clave en el estudio de una enfermedad rara la #fibrosispulmonar idiopática. La revista médica The Lancet Respiratory Medicine ha publicado este hallazgo, liderado por el Dr. Carlos Flores.
Telomere-to-telomere de novo assembly from standard ONT reads (LSK114, Simplex).
A really exciting advance—makes high-quality assembly practical for population-scale sequencing!

We developed the resource as part of the continuous respiratory virus surveillance efforts in the Canary Islands (https://t.co/7bfJPU74f9) & the code is publicly available at https://t.co/2CUZNRXAId
Respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children <2 years. It can also severely affect adults. Since the introduction of a prophylactic mAbs treatment in Spain, resistant #RSV lineages have been reported.
Here, we identified rare genetic risk factors of sepsis-associated #ARDS using a gene-clustering approach by leveraging a large exome sequencing of the GEN-SEP study and information from biological processes for adapting to patient heterogeneity.
