Representing a lot of hard work from @NininUon @DrT1973 @DeepSeqNotts @Scalene and @pathogenomenick pleased to share biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… which captures all our experience with ultra long read sequencing on @nanopore - a lot has happened since @scalene first generated ultras!

Consider applying to be part of @WHO’s Technical Advisory Group for Virus Evolution (TAG-VE) We are expanding to not only cover #COVID19, but other pathogens with epidemic and pandemic potential (eg #mpox #MERS-CoV #dengue and more) Call for experts⬇️ who.int/news-room/articles-d…

New major version of SPAdes - very exciting! github.com/ablab/spades Unicycler isn't under active development anymore (as you can see from all the unanswered issues 😢), but I did just push a quick fix to make it work with SPAdes v4: github.com/rrwick/Unicycler
