Host read removal sounds simple. It's not. 🧫Ep. 151 of microbinfie: we talk with Bede Constantinides about Deacon — why alignment-based approaches fall short, the sensitivity/specificity tradeoff, and what it takes to remove host reads at scale. Part 1 of 2.
In this Software Deep Dive episode, we talk with Dr. Bede Constantinides (University of Birmingham) about Deacon, a tool for removing host DNA reads from metagenomic datasets. We discuss why host read

I would be interested to hear feedback regarding bugs or any unexpected behaviour, any suggestions for the user interface, or any features you feel would be useful .
Been working on a browser version of BRIG. No install. Interactive. Looking for beta testers; message me if you're interested.
BRIG Is a visualisation tool that draws circular genome comparison plots. The user provides a reference genome and a set of query genomes which are aligned using BLAST. Genomes are bacteria sized (< 20Mbp). Colour gradient shows alignment identity. Users can also provide tables of coordinates for their own annotations on the plot.
