Was a huge honor giving the opening remarks today at the 10th anniversary of the M3, Mid-Atlantic Microbiome Meet-up, (blog.umd.edu/m3/2026/01/1...), launched by Prof. Mihai Pop and I way back in July 2016, going strong ever since, thanks to great participation from academia, government, & industry!
Our new preprint on quantifying microbial sample diversity/complexity in a way that accounts for both metagenome architecture and taxonomic composition is now live on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I enjoyed reading your post @jimshaw.bsky.social and learning about Savont, thank you for the comparison to Emu and kudos on your new tool!
relevant to points raised in the post, the Emu development team has compiled our follow-up thoughts here: github.com/treangenlab/...
Some of my work from the first year of my PhD is out as a preprint, please check it out!
Virus evolution is rapid and prolific both across and within individuals. However, a significant amount of variation remains hidden due to computational bottlenecks in read-alignment and variant calling

Had a great lab retreat on Saturday at rice together with @svillapol.bsky.social and @treangen.bsky.social lab. Amazing talks, discussions and overlap of interests. Won't be the last one :)
10 years on, @bkille.bsky.social @treangen.bsky.social and co. have refreshed Parsnp with a version 2! Build a core genome multi-alignment for 100k SARS genomes or 1k Mtb genomes in under an hour 💨
Great day in my life!! Finally defended my Ph.D.!
I can’t do this without the guidance of my Ph.D. advisor
@treangen.bsky.social and my co-advisor @sedlazeck.bsky.social ! I’ll soon join @sedlazeck.bsky.social ’s group at as an postdoc focusing on cancer genetics and cancer epigenetics.
I was waiting for a great topic for my first Bluesky post, and I cannot thing of a better one: I’m thrilled to be hosting @aphillippy.bsky.social at Rice University today and looking forward to his talk at 4pm! events.rice.edu/event/345896...
"Minmers are a generalization of minimizers that enable unbiased local jaccard estimation" aka MashMap3 with Bryce Kille, @erikg.bsky.social, and @treangen.bsky.social is now accepted in Bioinformatics! Many thanks to the reviewers for their very careful reviews doi.org/10.1093/bioi...
