Diploid genome assemblies are now routinely available, but most read aligners were designed for haploid references, which have long been the gold standard. When reads are aligned to a diploid assembly...

The SNSF will continue its successful funding from 2029 to 2032, strengthening research that is collaborative, bold and forward-looking.

Existing notions of pangenome coordinates rely on hard-to-compute multiple sequence alignments. On the other hand, pangenome-wide exact unique matches (multi-MUMs) can be computed efficiently, and rep...

In this Review, Li and Durbin discuss how to generate telomere-to-telomere assemblies for large haploid or diploid genomes using currently available data types and algorithms, and outline remaining ch...

****DEADLINE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 9, 2026**** This is the abstract submission form for the following PAG 34 workshops: Paleogenomics and Degraded DNA Domestication Genomics Comparative Genomics of Animals...

CLIMB is a cloud computing infrastructure for microbial bioinformatics — notebook servers, shared storage and reproducible workflows for genomics, metagenomics and pathogen surveillance researchers ac...

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

Previous research in microbes successfully predicted biculture growth based on monoculture growth curves. Still, the usual model-based approach does not seem to extend to communities involving more th...

Abstract. Microbial communities frequently encounter recurrent antibiotic disturbance, yet how ecological, evolutionary, and environmental processes jointl

GPN-Star, a genomic language model with a phylogeny-aware architecture for whole-genome alignment data, is shown to be a scalable and flexible tool for genetic variant effect prediction across species...

Lund University welcomes applicants with different backgrounds and experiences. Gender equality, equal opportunities and diversity are fundamental principles in all parts of the University’s activit

Open Athena announces the launch of Marin's largest training run yet—a 535B parameter large language model—with a generous gift of compute from The Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation.

GHT-SELEX—high-throughput SELEX with fragmented genomic DNA—shows that transcription factors can be rather particular about which genomic loci they bind, and that C2H2 zinc finger proteins often engage different fingers at different sites.

Changes Strobealign has been ported to Rust. The Rust version is at least as fast and accurate as the C++ version. There are currently some regressions due to the port: The Rust version cannot sat...

Locityper is a general-purpose genotyper that can efficiently genotype and analyze a diverse set of genes, such as hyperpolymorphic HLA genes, using both short-read and long-read whole-genome sequencing data.

#LRUA26: Empower your research with long-read sequencing technologies and connect with experts, peers, and industry leaders in Uppsala this November.

Abstract. A common assumption in mathematical models of molecular evolution is that mutations are rare. One example is the boundary mutation assumption, wh
