🧬 New preprint! We clustered 5.6 million bacterial genomes into genomically cohesive units (GCUs) 500× faster than existing tools. (In just 14 hours, 16.5 GB RAM using 48 CPUs). 🦠🐙Meet gemsparcl 💎✨! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Gave my first conference talk at #ISMBECCB2025. Presented *gemsparcl* 💎✨, my PhD tool for clustering millions of genomes into species-level clusters - fast. So grateful to have been selected for a talk and enjoyed connecting with so many great people! Preprint hopefully coming later this summer! ☀️
