Indexing and searching petabase-scale nucleotide resources | Nature Methods (www.nature.com)
Searching vast and rapidly growing nucleotide content in resources, such as runs in the Sequence Read Archive and GenBank, is currently impractical [...] Here we present Pebblescout, a tool that navigates such content by providing indexing and search capabilities.

Petabase-scale sequence alignment catalyses viral discovery | Nature (www.nature.com)
Here we developed a cloud computing infrastructure, Serratus, to enable ultra-high-throughput sequence alignment at the petabase scale.

Efficient and accurate search in petabase-scale sequence repositories | Nature (www.nature.com)
We present MetaGraph, a methodological framework that enables us to scalably index large sets of DNA, RNA or protein sequences using annotated de Bruijn graphs.

The AI coding trap | Chris Loy (chrisloy.dev)
Software development is fundamentally a practice of problem-solving, and so, as with solving a tricky crossword, most of the work is done in your head. [...] but with AI-driven coding, things play out very differently.

Ten years of genomics at Google (blog.google)
A look back at a decade of research in genomics at Google, from developing AI tools that accurately read the code of life, creating comprehensive reference genomes and working with partners on real-world challenges from biodiversity to healthcare.

Choose your human genome reference wisely | Nature Methods (www.nature.com)
Scientists can choose between multiple human genome references, and a pangenome reference is coming. Deciding what to use when is not quite straightforward.
