We'll be at the NIRBA RNA Science Conference 2026! 🧬
🗓️ 22–23 Oct 2026 | 📍 Singapore
Our lab is part of @NIRBA_sg Cluster 2 — RNA modifications & host immunity. Looking forward to the science and the community!

Jeremy Wang developed rammap, a minimap2 rewrite in Rust. It achieves comparable or better performance than minimap2 and produces identical output to minimap2. During rewrite, Jeremy found two long-existing bugs in minimap2 which are fixed in v2.31. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
🙌 Excited to share Bambu and our findings on the new long-read cDNA kit from Oxford Nanopore Technologies — featured at London Calling 2026.
Full story at the RNA 2026 Pre-Meeting Workshop, Montreal! 🇨🇦

Nanopore sequencing provides not just long reads, but the the raw signal data can also be used to identify RNA and DNA modifications. This repository (and the associated review) lists some of the great tools that have been developed www.cell.com/trends/genet...
2 weeks until the 2nd Singapore RNA Salon! Abstracts for the talks are below ⬇️
The event is open to everyone, from undergrads to PIs, hope to see you there!
Registration: form.gov.sg/69c0965ce982...
AI is changing how science (& genomics!) gets done. 🧬
Check out our new "awesome" repo - a curated list of skills, MCP servers & benchmarks for AI agents in bioinformatics. Open source & open for contributions!

The new long read cDNA kit by @nanoporetech.com is a major upgrade (and improvement!), substantially increasing read length, with a strong impact on transcript discovery and quantification. We @goekelab.bsky.social have tested this in the beta release, more updates soon #nanoporeconf
Applications are open for the Singapore Open Research Awards 2026. The awards recognise researchers for open, transparent, and reusable research with meaningful impact. Nominate someone or apply here libguides.ntu.edu.sg/SGORawards2026
I look forward to participating as a member of this year’s jury panel!
