Loved hearing Dr. Ryan Wick’s talk on genome assemblies with Autocycler. Really amazing hearing from him as I use a lot of his tools in my every day work!

It was great to present TRECA at ABACBS 2025 as a lightening talk.

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...

Great talk from Michael Payne at #ABACBS2025 on DAMPA - tool for designing probe panels for targeted metagenomics using pangenome graphs! Captures all diversity efficiently, uses fewer probes than competitors. Critical for syndromic surveillance! 🧬🔬 #Metagenomics

I worked with the Australian Science & Maths School to design new Year 10–12 curricula: phage hunting, of course! The students discovered & sequenced a new jumbo phage, and will present their work at @abacbs.bsky.social in Adelaide next week. Proud of these young scientists!
