Happy to release Stacks v2.67 today. This release updates process_radtags to make it easier to use SRA data and to filter poly-G (error) runs coming from Nextseq/Novaseq machines bugfixes. We also added a genotype depth filter to populations #RADseq

In a new study, Illinois researchers describe a hybrid zone between two manakin species in Panama that has overall remained relatively stable over the past 30 years.

If you have a sequence that you love ā a gene family, transposable element, regulatory feature ā you probably spend a lot of time looking for it in different sets of sequence. If so, you might find our latest tool, Klumpy, useful. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/ā¦

As Zam says, this is impressive work by shows @nanopore consensus call accuracy being better than illumina (with a deep learning caller, in bacteria) - I have huge COI (long established consultant for @nanopore and shareholder) but wanted to put this in short long term context
17 Mar 2024
Mandatory reading and surprising results from Michael Hall and colleagues - much better SNP/indel calling results from latest nanopore (beating illumina), and deep learning methods really doing well. Extremely thorough work
