Thrilled to finally debut my lab site🎉: mbio.info — which stands for Microbial Bioinformatics, a domain I purchased 9 years ago and has been waiting for this moment ever since!"

We've indexed about 1/50 out of 27 million samples, but the index is big (13 TiB, the whole would be 600TiB). Aligning a gene takes a few minutes on a single machine with 48 threads.

A better way might be indexing only microbial/metagenomic samples.

We're thrilled to introduce LexicMap v0.5.0🎉
It's more accurate and slightly faster!

LexicMap has helped some scientists align genes and plasmids in AllTheBacteria and GenBank, each has > 2 million prokaryotic genomes!

We'll provide an index for ATB on AWS later.
