We're at AusBiotech (1-3 Nov)!
If you haven't talked to us yesterday, welcome to visit the BASE mRNA Facility Booth (#84). Looking forward to connecting and discussing the latest innovations in mRNA research and manufacture.

Great to see an update on @nanopore only bacterial assemblies from @rrwick, using the latest base-caller models. tl/dr: use sup if you can afford it computationally.

New blog post: rrwick.github.io/2023/10/24/ont… I revisit the question of ONT-only accuracy for bacterial genomes, and things have improved a lot since I last looked at this about six months ago!
