@cabbagesofdoom @rrwick @nanopore note that parsing the cigar string can't get you identity as 'M' means match or mismatch, I think the md tag would work. The .paf col division is way easier :)

I'm in the very lucky position of having another option, but I have excellent colleagues who do not yet.

The disestablishment will disrupt or even destroy the trajectory of many people's careers. Not sure what else to say.

New blog post: rrwick.github.io/2023/11/06/acc… I took the ONT data from my last post, subsampled to various depths and assembled with Flye. Reveals what ONT-only accuracy looks like with a 'normal' read depth and Flye assembly (as opposed to extra-deep reads and Trycycler assembly).

@MrsRieB Leigh Bardugo Grishaverse! Also I f he reads a lot he should be able to finish the eight or so Percy Jackson before the tv show starts in Dec. My 11yo has has read every PJ at least twice and has been waiting for two years for the tv series. Rick Riordan is great.

@CatharineAquino @FGCZ_EN Just overall impressive or were there specific bits/methods they were most impressed by? Interested in what people see as best practices at genomics facilities (or, cutting edge practices)

@TroyBaisden @REasther @gringene_bio @Jamienzherald It is the staff who occupy this building @MasseyUni whom are being made redundant (Ecology, Molecular Bio, Chemistry, Food tech, etc). The space was purpose-built for them, opened in Feb this year. So many talented staff are being fired; terminating many postgrad projects.

CATASTROPHIC LOSSES TO NATURAL SCIENCES, FOOD TECH AND ENGINEERING AT @MasseyUni PROPOSED TODAY. 60% of staff to go across these areas. Shut down of these capabilities at Albany. Engineering cut altogether. Plant science also cut. Massey: taking the 'Universal' out of University.

@Psy_Fer_ The most confusing thing is why it helps MinION the most? Is t that the least exposed to light? As opposed to P2, gridion, and promethion, which have glass?
