Loved hearing from Dr. Wytamma Wirth about a deep learning approach to bacterial taxonomic clasification, BABET. The coolest part for me was hearing how tiny the database is!

@wytamma.bsky.social : so, it took a little bit of extra time (not the flight back from the CZI meeting), but I decided to just f#&$ing do it, and the basic code to build and parse with the auxiliary fastq index is working (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...). 1/2

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.
