Searching the NIH Sequence Read Archive - 50+ petabases of DNA reads - for matches to a query sequence could transform biology. But existing tools either don't scale (BLAST) or break under sequencing error (k-mer methods). Our new preprint, LOCALE, takes a different approach. 🧵

[Ramani Duraiswami @ramani_d]

The broader point: the bottleneck for petabase-scale sequence search is no longer scalability alone — it's robustness to sequencing error and biological variation at scale.

Recasting search as dense retrieval opens a path to the full ANN / quantization toolkit from IR.

Was wonderful catching up with my PhD advisor @ramani_d after several years! Lots of discussions, nostalgia and some coffee 😊😊!!

I recognized 40/52 people in the Times Faces Quiz (using 26 hints). How many can you guess? https://t.co/gGYxaytP0w
