            Thanks. Cool, so not an immediate issue for most published assemblies. Bit worrying however that the default (recommended) nanopore pipeline does not include any additional barcode trimming like porechop because they claim it's not necessary with Flye as assembler.

            So from what I understand in the preprint, if you are using dorado + porechop this contamination should already be removed?

            New blog post!
metaMDBG (@gaetanbenoit.bsky.social) and Myloasm (@jimshaw.bsky.social) have had recent releases, so I updated the benchmarks from the Autocycler paper:
rrwick.github.io/2025/09/23/a...
Both tools improved considerably! Time to update your conda environments ๐

            Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler! 
Nanopore's getting accurate, but
1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies?
2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them?

                Bacillus paralicheniformis is a strain of bacteria in the Bacillus genus. This genome was published to the ATCC Genome Portal on 2022-04-02
            
        
    
    
            Need bacterial DNA methylation data? Well, weโve been re-basecalling all ONT data for the ATCC Genome Portal to get it. A huge effort, but as of today we have Mthyl data for ~1,500 bacterial strains.
