Highly accurate long-read HiFi sequencing data for five complex genomes | Scientific Data (www.nature.com)
The PacBio® HiFi sequencing method yields highly accurate long-read sequencing datasets with read lengths averaging 10–25 kb and accuracies greater than 99.5%. These accurate long reads can be used to improve results for complex applications such as single nucleotide and structural variant detection, genome assembly, assembly of difficult polyploid or highly repetitive genomes, and assembly of metagenomes.

how to split RNA-seq into codons by using python (www.biostars.org)
In this answer, I use Github Copilot to solve a question posted on Biostar. It took me about 5 seconds to generate the code.

Is there ever a good reason to use a log transformation instead of Box-Cox? (www.biostars.org)
I have not heard of this transformation before, looks quite simple and effective.
