Got to share some recent (& ongoing) work with folks at @fulcrumgenomics.com yesterday! Instead of my normal style (go deep on 1 project), I covered 3 recent projects: github.com/COMBINE-lab/... github.com/COMBINE-lab/... github.com/zrudnick/bra... Thanks for inviting me to meet with the team!

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your CV? Scientist: That’s the non-coding portion of my CV - we’re not yet sure what all of it does, but we keep discovering new reasons that it’s there.

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

Inspired by @fulcrumgenomics.com's work with darwinsark.org/darwins-cats (get your cat's DNA sequenced, it's fun), I classified all the cats in @magic.wizards.com. Ready for the @commandcast.bsky.social Extra Turns with all Homo catus commanders. archidekt.com/decks/232439...
