Sometimes you meet absolutely incredible bioinfo-magicians.
It was a huge privilege when @shenwei356.bsky.social
joined our group for a year on an @embl.org sabbatical.
While here, he developed a new way of aligning to
millions of bacteria, called LexicMap 1/n

Efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes with LexicMap - Nature Biotechnology
LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Metalog
Metalog is a repository of manually annotated metadata (or contextual data) for metagenomic sequencing data from across the globe.

The genome catalogue for the soil microbiome is now live on MGnify! Built from MAGs & isolate genomes across 21 studies (including the recently published SMAG and Microflora Danica catalogues), it features 19,472 species.

Microbes can be difficult to culture in the laboratory. To tackle this we assemble their genomes directly from metagenomic data. These are called MAGs: metagenome-assembled genomes. Explore the novelty of uncultivated microbes in our biome-specific genome catalogues. www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics...
