1/ Excited to share my first first-author preprint from my PhD! We introduce Perseus, a lineage-aware confidence estimation framework for taxonomic classification in long-read metagenomics. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Code: github.com/matnguyen/Pe...

Johns Hopkins University geneticists and researchers from across the country, including students, are helping map the U.S. soil microbiome, uncovering thousands of previously unknown microbes to better understand the planet's most biodiverse habitats. https://bit.ly/3YBMmqD
