It was very exciting to meet other like-minded students from all over the globe, and fantastic to take the opportunity to present our Society and plans for 2024!

So excited for this session!! Thank you to our generous panellists and keen to hear questions from our ABACBS community all about fellowships and grants as computational biologists and bioinformaticians!

Happy to share that Dnaapler is published joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110… - if you need to reorient complete, plasmid or phage genomes give it a go. I really liked the JOSS process - perhaps open reviews are more constructive Susie Grigson Bhavya Papudeshi Vijini Mallawaarachchi Michael Roach

📢 Excited to announce that Phables now supports long-read assemblies!
🧬 Feel free to test out Phables on your long-read assemblies of metagenomes, viromes or even isolates. 🦠🧫
