Nice work! Just a nitpick regarding the sentence below: we've been compiling sequence aligners to WebAssembly for a while now at biowasm.com :)

Good question! Unless you need to port an existing large C++/Rust drawing library, I would not use WebAssembly for this, and instead look for a JS library. Something like d3 could probably visualize gene regulatory networks pretty easily, or even plotly which has both JS and Python libraries.

Looks like bashcrawl is just a few files and bash scripts, so you can visit sandbox.bio/tutorials/pl..., and simply mount the folder "entrance" from your computer and start using it! (click the "..." icon, then "mount local folder").

👀 I will take a look!

Maybe it's your HR department testing you 🧐

That's what I've been curious about as well! I *think* it should be possible: it's running an Ubuntu-based Linux distro, and I'm able to tether WiFi from my phone to it over USB. If you know anyone who has a MinION, I'd love to test it out 👀

Agreed. Another benefit of having docs within the app is that you can give personalized help, eg if the user doesn’t have enough permissions to perform an action. That’s harder to do if docs are hosted separately.

And while many public buckets are stored on AWS OpenData (where Amazon foots the bill), you're likely to find the same issue in many private buckets.

Granted, compressing these files now would break many pipelines that rely on specific paths, so it's important to compress files from day 1.

I also have calculators for exploring:
➡️ FASTQ base quality: 42basepairs.com/tools/fastq-...
➡️ SAM flags: 42basepairs.com/tools/sam-flag

We'd love to, but the tutorials are free so we don't have a way to fund the authors. But if anyone wants to sponsor tutorial development, they should give me a call :)

Thanks for sharing, it's really interesting to see how the tool evolved. Are you interested in contributing a sylph tutorial to sandbox.bio? We could use more metagenomics tutorials!
