Welcome to RustQC Fast quality control tools for sequencing data, written in Rust.

Super excited to be launching two things today: #RustQC 🦀🧬 and rewrites.bio 🚀

I used AI to rewrite 15 RNA-seq QC tools into a single Rust binary (I've never written any Rust). It ended up being over 60x faster. Here's the story 🧵

seqeralabs.github.io/RustQC/

shamelessly tagging @delalamo.xyz here since I know you as a person who I might be interested in that :)

open-source details:
- MIT license
- CI/CD + continuous benchmarks
- dedication for maintenance -- we have internal roadmap for the package, as we're using it internally as well, so it won't go unmaintained after 1.0 release
- plans for R and duckdb bindings (stay tuned!)

GitHub - ENPICOM/immunum: A high-performance antibody and TCR sequence numbering tool for Rust, Python, Polars and JS/TS. A high-performance antibody and TCR sequence numbering tool for Rust, Python, Polars and JS/TS. - ENPICOM/immunum

Rarely show my work stuff here, but we did something cool (and open-source!) last week: github.com/ENPICOM/immu...

TL;DR:
- antibody numbering and segmentation with Rust
- bindings to python, polars and WASM
- VERY fast numbering at scale (got up to 1,000,000 seqs per second on 48 CPUs)

big tech companies in 2026:

your scripts got me through my masters and phd (and endless refinement cycles), thank you so much! truly think they should be a part of coot's distribution :)

with coding it feel less productive sometimes, but with infrastructure it's actually a life-saver for me personally. Like, configuring github actions / deploys / ... is actually so much better with it, mainly because I know exactly what I want to do but don't know how😁

I have a rust joke but it's still compiling

from cat's perspective, they're resting on the right side of the cat, no?

I constantly wonder how much the crystallographic data quality actually matters -- not overall, like resolution or rfactors, but local, like per-residue modelling scores. And if cleaning the dataset better will result in better model🤔

from my discussions with PDB maintainers, it's a legacy thing. The "auth" things are there to carefully preserve information that authors put some meaning in chain names (eg H and L for antibody chains, L for lipids, S for solvent etc)

I've seen them talk online and at a PEGS conference -- no mentions of preparing a publication there.

I wonder if this person has ever seen electron density maps that yielded pdb structures for the AI training🙃

...and this is how silly hoomans will help clever agents building new things✨

to me the switch was so easy since it's declarative. And also interactivity is just so easily done with altair, definitely a killer feature.

bonus point is that you can embed them with html onto your website easily!

not sure if it's something you're interested in, but I usually plot things like that with altair, and then make them interactive and with a tooltip, with 5-10-50 different sliding window options, just to see how it behaves instead of plotting it every time with matplotlib :)

would it be more informative to plot first derivatives perhaps?

you said "I'll leave the link in the show notes" on 7:53, but you never did💔

I assume you're talking about this link, right: docs.marimo.io/guides/wasm/

yes! and it has amazing apps too, can not recommend this stack enough: github.com/navilg/media...

it's probably fine as it is for archival purposes, but certainly not for consumption😁

and low visibility of libraries such as gemmi/mdanalysis/biotite lead to abundance of self-written PDB/cif parcers, which imo has a lot of drawbacks.

to be honest, I don't really care for space -- iirc, whole RCSB is under 200 Gb, and significantly less if you care about only cryoEM/crystallography structures under certain size.

I honestly wouldn't change anything (except for probably GraphQL API), and perhaps work on tutorials and docs more.

😁
I'm just trying to understand whether your problem is format itself or the underlying data model

why though, may I ask?

cif and pdb are indeed the worst formats, the only problem is that all others are even worse :)

also, I'd highly recommend using gemmi that allows you to parse cif into json. Although arguably, the data model itself is very messy, which imo is expected for half-aa-century old legacy.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

or about people obtaining a first structure of a very important (multiple molecules in clinic) drug target, but not publishing it because they couldn't settle some priority conflict within an institute

hope to see it in a better state one day

3/3

for instance, I know about a PI deliberately obscuring experimental details for years so that they could have de-facto monopoly on his method
