The guy in the middle might be a reference :)
Last year we had participants from around the world. Its a great open event to get to know new people and new tricks every year :) .
Join us at our 8th Hackathon @bcmhgsc.bsky.social !
Registration:
forms.gle/N4FDxuq34g5J...
Dates: 25-28th Aug 2026
Location: Hybrid (online + in Houston)
We are going to work on #bioinformatics problems that will be reported in F1000 publication. Come and join us!
@dcgenomics.bsky.social
Was amazing to work with all the participants. Had a great week and I hope people learned something too :)
Thanks again to all participants and @physaliacourses.bsky.social for organizing .
Today we kicked off the #ComparativeGenomics course with @sedlazeck.bsky.social & Ingo Ebersberger!
On Day 1, we’re covering de novo assembly strategies, best practices, and quality control for genome assemblies.
Sensational #ASHG event on detecting variants, including Structural Variants, from long reads learning.ashg.org/products/unc...
@sedlazeck.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social
Last seats available! 🚨
Join our #ComparativeGenomics course with @sedlazeck.bsky.social & @Ingo Ebersberger and learn how to analyse, compare, and interpret genomes using modern bioinformatics approaches. Don’t miss it—registration is closing soon!

Rayan and I had some nice dinner too :)
I clearly have to come back and give another talk ... Hahaha
Scalable and comprehensive mosaic variant calling using DRAGEN https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.03.26345450v1
Thanks:)
We’re excited to confirm Fritz Sedlazeck as our first speaker for #nanoporeconf! His research confronts genomic inequity, identifying novel variants that could influence disease risk, gene regulation and healthcare in Hispanic populations. https://bit.ly/4sOxMKd
The next edition of our #ComparativeGenomics course is just around the corner (📅 23–27 February)!
A few seats are still available — don’t miss the opportunity to learn comparative #genomics from Ingo Ebersberger & @sedlazeck.bsky.social 🚀

Many thanks to @iscb.bsky.social for a fantastic visit at their meeting in Hong Kong last week! Met so many great people during that week.
Many thanks also to Ruibang ! Always great to make a bad joke while taking a picture ;)
Thanks Ben for a fantastic visit! Hopefully see you soon
Huge thanks to @sedlazeck.bsky.social l Luis and everyone who joined our Structural Variant Detection & Comparison course! 🚀✨
We dived deep, learned tons, and had some insightful questions and lively discussions — you all made it very successful!
Wishing you all the best smashing your projects!
@benlangmead.bsky.social giving a talk about rowing his boat and explaining pangenomes with that :).
Amazing talk about reference biases and the future to avoid it.
Fascinating talk at @bcmhgsc.bsky.social @riceuniversity.bsky.social ! @treangen.bsky.social

Join us on our 3 day (Dec 1-3) #workshop @physaliacourses.bsky.social teaching about Structural Variant detection from short and long reads. We will give insights into different approaches to detect SV from somatic to population scale. Only a few places left: www.physalia-courses.org/courses-work...

This is a great course and deep dive into comp. genomics with Ingo and me! Always great discussions across all types of organisms and how to identify variants and compare assemblies etc. Join us to learn more!
plsRT: Looking for a motivated postdoc!
Join us at @bcmhgsc.bsky.social to explore the mosaic & somatic landscape of the human genome: structural variants, methylation, and all things @smahtnetwrk.bsky.social
If you like long reads, complex variants & methylation come talk to me!
Join our online #ComparativeGenomics course with Ingo & @sedlazeck.bsky.social , 23-27 Feb 2026! Learn genome assembly, variant detection (SNVs & SVs), and functional impact analysis with hands-on sessions.

We introduce trio-barcoded
@nanoporetech.com
adaptive sampling (TBAS), which allows targeted sequencing of one trio in one flowcell. We tested it on HG002-4+13 trios from GREGoR.
TBAS and pipeline accurately report causative SNV, SV&TRs. @sedlazeck.bsky.social
