Thanks to the amazing Adelaide Bioinformatics community for making #ABACBS2025 an amazing event. We couldn’t have done it without you. A few more days of workshops to go before the festival finishes for another year 😀

10 years ago I took a flight to Sydney to attend my first COMBINE. The support of @shazanfar.bsky.social @hdashnow.bsky.social and @lonsbio.bsky.social meant the world and I made so many friends that year I still get to hang out with.Thanks to everyone for a successful conference! #ABACBS2025

What an amazing talk by Beth Cross as the winner of the best talk at COMBINE about the genomic jigsaw of blakpc transposons - and maybe it’s time for someone to develop a better (bacterial) promoter prediction tool #ABACBS2025

With Slorado, now you have more choices for GPUs when basecalling @nanoporetech.com sequencing data. This is a work we collaborated on with AMD, led by
PhD candidate @bonson-wong.bsky.social (poster at #abacbs2025) and great to see being highlighted in the AMD blog: www.amd.com/en/blogs/202...
