Excited to share a new update to Mumemto, scaling MUM and conserved element finding to any size pangenome! Preprint out now w/ @benlangmead.bsky.social. Mumemto scales to the new HPRC v2 release and beyond, and can merge in future assemblies without any recomputation! 1/n

Easily the most important thing happening next week. Come and watch my friend Sara defend her PhD!

Really cool work from @arun-das.bsky.social on recovering sequence from unmapped reads (even with T2T reference or HPRC pangenomes!). Can recover a decent amount of sequence per individual using these approaches. Check it out!

@arun-das.bsky.social's thesis research demonstrates that short-read mapping-based approaches, even using complete linear (T2T-CHM13) and pangenome (HPRC) references, miss a lot of variation that can be recovered from unmapped reads.

Hello Bluesky 👋🏾 I’m going to be defending my thesis on Wednesday, so I thought this was as good a time as any to introduce myself and my work. I’m Arun Das, I’m a PhD student in Schatz Lab @ JHU, and my work broadly focuses on algorithms to improve accessibility and representation in genomics.
