Excited to share matchbox. It’s super fast and versatile to search for patterns in reads, I’m curious to see all the uses it will find!
Congrats to @jakobschuster.bsky.social , co-supervisors @michaelbclark.bsky.social @mritchieau.bsky.social and team!

Powerful read processing with matchbox https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.09.685711v1

Holy crap! This looks awesome. We've been working toward something just like this (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...), and matchbox seems great; and in Rust! Perhaps we've been scooped, but this looks amazing either way!

alpseq: an open-source workflow to turbocharge nanobody discovery with high-throughput sequencing Nanobodies have emerged as promising tools for many biotechnological applications due to their small size, high stability, and remarkable binding specificity. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) enables ...

Keen to use an open source workflow for nanobody discovery? Check out Alpseq 🦙

Alpseq’s diversity analysis, enrichment counts & clustering allow different approaches for nanobody selection

Great collab with bioinformaticians @qgouil.bsky.social Kathleen Zeglinski
