This is probably of interest to all the @abacbs.bsky.social binfies 🙂
Wonderful week at ABACBS and BioCAsia conferences in Adelaide, Australia.
Thanks everyone who joined the workshop on Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis with Bioconductor, you made it awesome!

That’s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social
Client-side bioinformatics workshop done ✅ massive thanks to legends @lonsbio.bsky.social @lfeatherstone.bsky.social @torstenseemann.bsky.social #ABACBS2025
Our cornetto work is now published at www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It can do near-T2T assembly using @nanoporetech.com adaptive sampling
- with less 💸
- reference agnostic, so works for non-humans
- not just blood, even saliva
Just presented at #abacbs2025 yesterday.

Thanks so much to the 113 people who have answered the survey! If you haven’t already you can find it at lnkd.in/gJGfxftq or come see me at our poster! @abacbs.bsky.social #ABACBS2025
And also a fantastic keynote at #ABACBS2025 on this story!
@acepigenetics.bsky.social team at #ABACBS2025! Grateful for the chance to help plan and organise this year’s meeting and to chair the single cell and spatial session, where my colleague and dear friend Ning is our invited speaker. Biggest congrats to @mmohenska.bsky.social for her poster award!
Thanks to the amazing Adelaide Bioinformatics community for making #ABACBS2025 an amazing event. We couldn’t have done it without you. A few more days of workshops to go before the festival finishes for another year 😀
Melbourne Integrative Genomics, UniMelb @mig-unimelb.bsky.social at #ABACBS2025
Amazing to have a big representation at @abacbs.bsky.social held in Adelaide.
Did my best to help a bit to get academic twitter back. Hopefully we can continue. Thanks and congratulations to @jovmaksimovic.bsky.social too.
Thanks @abacbs.bsky.social #ABACBS2025 for an amazing conference.
10 years ago I took a flight to Sydney to attend my first COMBINE. The support of @shazanfar.bsky.social @hdashnow.bsky.social and @lonsbio.bsky.social meant the world and I made so many friends that year I still get to hang out with.Thanks to everyone for a successful conference! #ABACBS2025
It was great to present TRECA at ABACBS 2025 as a lightening talk.
Come find my poster #21.

With Slorado, now you have more choices for GPUs when basecalling @nanoporetech.com sequencing data. This is a work we collaborated on with AMD, led by
PhD candidate @bonson-wong.bsky.social (poster at #abacbs2025) and great to see being highlighted in the AMD blog: www.amd.com/en/blogs/202...
The most upsetting UpSet plot from Adam Heterick's talk at #abacbs2025: only 2 genes are shared across these 8 organisations that provide guidance on pharmacogenomics 😭😭😱😱
Our prez @jessmar.bsky.social gave a shout-out to our Slack shameless-plugs channel. We’re all about boosting our members, which is why we’re leaning into Bluesky. Papers shared here get indexed by Altmetric, so growing this community turns into real, measurable impact for our members #ABACBS2025
