ntHits, unikseq and Stash presented at RECOMB 2023

The 27th Annual International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2023) was held in Istanbul, Turkey from April 14-19, 2023. The Bioinformatics Technology Lab presented various new algorithms and data structures developed by the group in the past year, including unique+conserved region detection in genome sequences with unikseq, k-mer repeat profiler ntHits and data structure based on stochastic tile hashing, Stash.

Presentations:
