kallisto sped up RNA-seq quantification by 50x. Now another 50x speedup... quantify hundreds of millions of reads in a few seconds.
This seems too good to be true. But it's true!
Incredible accomplishment by @pmelsted.
Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.
The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Figure 1 shows they key result

Are you based in South America and work on helminths?
Join me & a great group of instructors on the Helminth Bioinformatics course in Montevideo during 18–24 May!
We'll cover expenses, you just need to come, interact, and learn.
Please share & apply!

Really fun to write this paper on spatial transcriptomics with @SarahBuddenborg . It’s an exciting technique that has a lot of potential in Parasitology for new insights.
In our Jan issue: Entering the #spatial age of parasite #genomics, authored by @SarahBuddenborg & @stephenrdoyle highlighting Simone Haeberlein & colleagues’ @NatureComms article. #Transcriptomics #Helminths #Fasciola #hepatica @sangerinstitute @jlugiessen
