SNooPy is a statistical framework for long-read metagenomic variant calling that outperforms existing methods and is available on GitHub.

This study identifies a novel transgenerational DNA repair mechanism in the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga that uses meiotic recombination to repair fragmented chromosomes across generations.

The paper evaluates long-read assemblers and post-processing tools for haplotype collapsing in non-model organisms, finding methods that improve haploid assembly quality.
