@rossenzhao.bsky.social's shiny new phage profiling tool for finding (novel) phage in metagenome reads a la SingleM. New SingleM release also brings @ace-gtdb.bsky.social R226. Manuscript is draft, but working code is here pre-pre-publication. Feedback most welcome.

We’ve uncovered Asgard chromatin structures formed by a Hodarchaeal histone : closed hypernucleosome conserved in archaea and an open form resembling the H3-H4 eukaryotic octasome. Fantastic work by @harshranawat.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Chromatin #Asgard #Archaea #cryoEM

Oxford Nanopore sequencing will be ubiquitous for multiomics….and the next step is proteomics. First panel-based proteomics assays, before driving towards full protein sensing in the future. #nanoporeconf
