BioNumPy documentation — bionumpy documentation (bionumpy.github.io)
There is some buzz about bionumpy, though after reading the docs I don't quite understand its main use-cases.

igv.js is an embeddable JavaScript implementation of the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). It can be easily dropped into any web page with a single line of code and has no external dependencies. The viewer runs completely in the web browser, with no backend server and no data pre-processing required.

RNA count distributions have more variance than we would naively expect. What might that tell us about the underlying biology? In a new @NatureComms paper (@GorinGennady co-first + Meichen Fang and @lpachter), we propose a framework for studying this question. More below!

Comparison of calling pipelines for whole genome sequencing: an empirical study demonstrating the importance of mapping and alignment | Scientific Reports (www.nature.com)
The aim of this study was the comparison of 6 WGS data pre-processing pipelines, involving two mapping and alignment approaches (GATK utilizing BWA-MEM2 2.2.1, and DRAGEN 3.8.4) and three variant calling pipelines (GATK 4.2.4.1, DRAGEN 3.8.4 and DeepVariant 1.1.0).
