bowtie2: Relaxed Parameters for Generous Alignments to Metagenomes
Even `bowtie2`’s `–very-sensitive-local` option can be a little grumpy. Here’s how I make `bowtie2` a little more relaxed for alignment of more dissimilar sequences, particularly for my work on metagenomes.
Status Report: November 2016 (Part I): Triviomes, Treeviomes & Fuck Everything
It’s time for a PhD status report Christmas special. It’s a cliff-hanger episode, with a sad ending.
Status Report: May 2016 (Metahaplomes: The graph that isn’t)
Another long overdue insight to the things I am supposed to be doing so I can call myself a doctor someday.

The adventure continues, here’s what I’m working on lately.
Meet the Metahaplome
Yesterday, I gave a talk at the Aberystwyth Bioinformatics Workshop on the metahaplome: a graph inspired structure for encoding the variation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) observed across aligned sequenced reads.

I’m still alive, here’s some things what I’ve done.
