What about using it for ruSTAR output summaries ?

Oops, meant upstream or before, but I would need to write a script that corrects the lengths of sequences in the overlap PAF file to match the length of the sequences in the FASTA file.

Well, after using rawsamble, the first big problem using it downstream of RACON or HERRO is the overlaps are based on the signals, and the length of the reads may differ in the .paf files compared to the actual length of the basecalled sequences.

Wow, thanks. Will try it.

Thanks for a super cool tool! ยท Issue #1 ยท GZHoffie/skiver Hi, Thank you for developing such a cool tool. I used it on a 30x human nanopore ultra-long read set for the "same" read identifiers and modifying a script in the skiver-test repository, was able t...

Do you think it can do something like these seaborn heatmaps with labels though github.com/GZHoffie/ski...

Do you recommend Salmon or piscem for bulk-RNAseq these days? Salmon always made more sense to me to map reada to the transcriptome than align to the genome for bulk-RNAseq.

Vibe coding as a term was coined I think in February 2025, and I saw a job posting looking for someone with 2+ years in vibe coding experience. I know that people were vibe coding with large language models before the term existed but give me a break.

I did not point out though that it sends the hashing sketch to a JGI(?) server.

I hate how slow GNU Core Utilites `tar` can be with unzipping gzipped tar balls. I wonder if you could make a pull request to the rust core utilites github.com/uutils/coreu... that integrated mim (if possible) into its ruTar?

I would say rust-htslib as @johanneskoester.bsky.social and team are actively working on it. Not to say the developer of noodles is not working on noodles. Just my two cents.

Took me way too long to realize that its super easy to just merge pdfs in R rather than fussing with Adobe #rstats

library(pdftools)
pdf_combine(
input = c("file1.pdf", "file2.pdf"),
output = "merged.pdf"
)

Is it microbial data? If so, Squid Base has you covered. squidbase.org Other wise maybe @kirk3gaard.bsky.social can chime in on the ENA.
