Great talk from Michael Payne at #ABACBS2025 on DAMPA - tool for designing probe panels for targeted metagenomics using pangenome graphs! Captures all diversity efficiently, uses fewer probes than competitors. Critical for syndromic surveillance! 🧬🔬 #Metagenomics

Had a great time at #ABPHM where I presented our new tool github.com/Multipathoge.... DAMPA uses pangenome graphs to design targeted metagenomics probe panels that minimise probe number while retaining very high target coverage. Preprint coming soon!
