Hey, we are not involved in the platform, but we got in touch with the maintainers while publishing our data set. You can surely get in touch with them directly!

We really hope this nudges the field toward a norm: share your raw POD5 when possible.
FASTQ alone ages fast as basecallers improve; raw signals let others revisit old runs with new models and new questions.

Dataset highlights:

• R10.4.1 flow cells + V14 chemistry
• ~16 Gb per flow cell on avg
• 12 isolates sequenced in triplicate across 3 labs → great for reproducibility & method comparisons.

Why raw signals? Because POD5 keeps the full ion-current information beyond FASTQ.

That means you can:

• re-basecall with new models
• study nucleotide modifications / methylation
• benchmark error correction
• improve SNP & cgMLST surveillance workflows.
