The first fully Rust version of piscem! scRNA, scATAC, and bulk-RNA -> RAD files, accurately, in low memory, and FAST. And all in Rust :) anaconda.org/channels/bio...
Wow, impressive feat! Congratulations!
Another Claude Code win. Did you ever want to be able to use SSHash from Python? To have access to the tiny space and query power of that index from directly within your high-level scripts? Now, with you can (for sshash-rs, at least)! Hope to do the same for piscem-rs soon

Haven't checked BlueSky for a few days. Very nice to see people commenting on DSB and its beautiful location! Thanks again to all contributors! It's been our pleasure to welcome you all in Venice π #DSB2026

A truly nice read!
Iβd like to thank very much the (anonymous) reviewers for their valuable feedback!
I almost feel guilty I did not write the Rust port π Rob and Claude did an amazing job!
Nice work @npmalfoy.bsky.social! Can't wait for this at DSB :)
Congratulations guys!! π
Surprising that they did not cite our work on repetition aware compression :) well, itβs rather new so probably not known enough yet
Really? I did not even know it existed :D
Nice! I'm glad to answer any questions/curiosities you guys might have. And, of course, we are open to collaboration.
Deadline for registration is Jan 31. Donβt miss it! See you all in beautiful Venice π
This preprint significantly improves the original design of SSHash to accelerate query and construction time. Looking back at oneβs own work is very important and sometimes surprising βΊοΈ
Very excited about this latest work led by @jermp.bsky.social! Since it's initial release, SSHash has served as the basis for several other tools (Fulgor, piscem, etc.). It was already very fast. It is now *substantially* faster!

I guess it's still KMC3.
DSB 2026 is organized by the RAVEN (Research on Algorithms VENice) research group at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, raven-laboratory.github.io.
Looking forward to seeing you in Venice!

The workshop "Data Structures in Bioinformatics" is an annual scientific meeting at the crossroads of CS and biology. It is a unique forum to discuss compact data structures and algorithms in the
context of data processing for the life sciences. More details on DSB at dsb-meeting.github.io
The 12th edition of the 2-days workshop βData Structures in Bioinformaticsβ (DSB) will take place in Venice (Italy) on February 18-19th, 2026: dsb-meeting.github.io/DSB2026/
Fantastic news Ragnar! Can't think of any better group for you :)
Congratulations to @brinda.eu and Francesca for this impressive work!! We will surely give you a hand in integrating the latest Fulgor version, which is considerably faster thanks to @ale-campa.bsky.social.
Windows?
Congratulations Zamin!!
Beautiful! Letβs see what he has to say thenβ¦
