The updated OrthoFinder v3 software boosts accuracy and scalability in phylogenetic orthology inference with massive and diverse datasets.
Is @nanoporetech.com hac v6 better than 5.2.0 sup? The short answer is no. But are a few errors in a genome worth 5 times more basecalling compute?

New blog post!
I analyse the new [email protected] basecalling model from @nanoporetech.com and discuss the conspicuous lack of a new sup model:

These findings show that metagenomic sequencing has the potential to rapidly and comprehensively
detect pathogens and AMR in bloodstream infections. Integration into clinical practice
could help to cl...
