Finally a preprint for our tool DAMPA (Australiana included) that generates efficient probe panels for targeted metagenomics from pangenome graphs. Presented at ABPHM and ABACBS last year. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

DAMPA - accelerated and simplified design of probe panels for targeted metagenomics using pangenome graphs

Targeted metagenomics, where samples are enriched for multiple organisms of interest using oligonucleotide probes, is a highly efficient sequencing methodology that is becoming standard practice for g...

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!
