Pangenome coordinates can be complex... Shredtools offers a new approach using exact matches to query pangenome data efficiently. Its tools can extract syntenic regions across hundreds of genomes, making pangenome-scale exploration more accessible. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42465356/

Got quite annoyed trying to make gene meta plots. Was hard to figure out what software was doing, how it dealt with distance between genes, number of genes contributing, and it was annoying getting things in right format. So I rolled my own. github.com/RILAB/metabo...

Just this morning added Relate conversion info and ARGweaver outputs to argprep. And verified again genotype calls against WGAtools.

Minibwa is a hybrid of bwa-mem and minimap2 and the successor of bwa-mem for short-read mapping. ~4X/2.5X as fast as bwa-mem/bwa-mem2 for WGS reads at comparable accuracy. Native support of directional bisulfite-seq. Applicable to long reads. Preprint at arxiv.org/abs/2606.15357
