For those who want the supplemental materials and can't wait for the full paper to appear, I've put them on my ftp site for anyone to download: ftp://ftp.ccb.jhu.edu/pub/salzberg/Contaminated_genomes_GenomeResearchPaper_2019/ – at New York, USA

Real-time measurement of protein–protein interactions at single-molecule resolution using a biological nanopore: nature.com/articles/nbt.4316
If anyone needs a quick alignment coverage calculation + visualization on the terminal, the tool `bamcov` is now available at github.com/fbreitwieser/bamc…

just making my way through it now. this is great, almost reads like a new manuscript. the bits about kmer to read ratio and the demonstration of how that relates to confidence in a true species call = great work. thanks for the update!

In our new metagenomics program KrakenHLL: probabilistic counting lets us count unique k-mers with remarkably little memory. Who knew that a hashing algorithm (#HyperLogLog) could be a hashtag too? biorxiv.org/content/early/20…

With so much talk of corp tax cuts, thought it was interesting that median effective tax rate for $spx is near a record low @NDR_Research
