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...
#NanoporeConf My Nanopore Notes for London Calling 2026 are stacking up, but I need to go to sleep shortly.
Not sure if I'll be awake for a 4am tech talk, but we'll see....

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

T2T assemblies for nearly all major Y chromosome haplogroups courtesy of a collab between @humanpangenome.bsky.social and HGSVC! What was once the hardest human chromosome to finish can now be routinely assembled thanks to ONT + Verkko www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
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

"Researchers found undisturbed primary forests store 83% more carbon per acre than the managed forests that are replacing them."
This study is "shocking" - as in "we've been lied to by the forest industry" and... it's not in our climate models.
