Slacken paper published in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics Our paper on Slacken, a metagenomic classifier based on the Kraken 2 method, was recently published in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics. In this post I (Johan) would like to break down the main results...

Explaining in simple terms the two main results achieved by our #metagenomic classifier #Slacken - scaling independently of RAM, and sample-tailored libraries. jnpsolutions.io/2025/07/03/s...

Precise and scalable metagenomic profiling with sample-tailored minimizer libraries Abstract. Reference-based metagenomic profiling requires large genome libraries to maximize detection and minimize false positives. However, as libraries g
