BlastFrost efficiently queries bacterial genomes using Bifrost graphs to identify gene presence and SNVs in large collections.

GrapeTree visualizes genomic relationships among 100,000 bacterial pathogens using a minimum spanning tree algorithm and interactive layouts.

SPARSE improves taxonomic classification of metagenomic reads by reducing false positives and enhancing sensitivity for low-abundance species detection.

The paper improves the assembly of two ancient Yersinia pestis genomes using an optimization-based gap-filling method, resulting in highly supported assemblies with 95% ancient read coverage.
