What an era was this... We moved on, but hey, many, many warm memories with Canu! github.com/marbl/canu/rel… Goodbye. Do not expect another release. This is it, folks. The sequencing technology has moved on and Canu is all but obsolete now.
Just tried the dorado v0.7.0 version, the basecalling quality gets a very nice jump! Not a minor increase, this is huge! (mode Q20 -> Q23) Any timeline prediction for minknow integration? data: ~1kb PCR amplicon, plant, plot made with Giraffe @nanopore @iiSeymour

New blog: Transforming Basecalling in Genomic Sequencing by @samgd #nanoporeconf nanoporetech.com/blog/transform…
Shiny apples they have here! At Hudson River Biotechnology we are using ONT sequencing to detect our CRISPR based gene edits in many different crops. What about a better shelf life? Nanopore seq brings us further everyday! @HudsonRiverBio1 #nanoporeconf hrb.bio
Now, @nanopore only approaches are producing the best t2t automated assemblies ever produced with 30 contigs and 5 scaffolds! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 #nanoporeconf

What is wrong with gpt4!? It constantly gives me flawed coding solutions, just like gpt3.5. Simple questions like basic dna operations cannot be translated into an awk solution. Every solution seems different, and not always right :( #justgotusedtoAI #ChatGPT4
