In our little deep dive series we're now exploring how cross-compilation in the Conda ecosystem works: prefix.dev/blog/cross-c.... Back in the days, @conda-forge.org rolled this out widely to support osx-arm64 early on, and now for linux-aarch64/ppc64le.

Cross compiling in the Conda ecosystem

Cross compiling is a fundamental capability in modern software development, allowing developers to build packages for different architectures without needing access to the target hardware.

Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt

It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.

Today is #InternationalMicroorganismDay, a chance to celebrate the invisible powerhouses shaping our health and ecosystems. With @galaxyproject.bsky.social, we're proud to support global research that decodes the secrets of microbes, from deadly pathogens to life-sustaining bacteria.

This image presents the Microbiology Galaxy Lab, a platform dedicated to One Health and ecological integrity, illustrating how it connects humans, animals, and the environment through the analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites using 315+ tool suites and 115+ workflows. On the left, it highlights ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity, covering areas such as microbial diversity, interactions, ecosystem modeling, strain discovery, pathway analysis, population omics, and temporal dynamics. On the right, it focuses on health and disease, addressing topics like clinical microbiota, antimicrobial resistance, pathogen profiling (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa), virulence assessment, dysbiosis analysis, abundance quantification, outbreak modeling, biomarker correlation, and host interaction. The lab also emphasizes citizen science, education, and 35+ tutorials, promoting accessibility and knowledge sharing in microbiology research.
