New preprint by our collaborators @dilekopter @EtkaYapar @kivilcimbasak @ezgimou @AnnaSapfo @MSomel w/ @calkan_cs on reduction of reference bias in ancient DNA mapping.
Check out our new preprint 👇🏼 In this study, we studied natural and technical biases in paleogenomic data and suggested new solutions to these old problems! @CompEvoMetu
Congratulations to my former MSc student and forever collaborator @FirtinaC for joining @umdcs as Assistant Professor.
📢 @umdcs is welcoming 8 new faculty in 2025–26 with expertise in AI policy, robotics, bioinformatics, vision, language models, simulation & sound design. They’ll strengthen research & teaching across computing. Read more: go.umd.edu/New-Faculty7-2…
Our consortium-wide position paper is now available as a preprint @arxiv arxiv.org/abs/2506.00597 @SAFARI_ETH_CMU @UPMEM @IBMResearch @RayanChikhi @institutpasteur @BarIlanU @CNRS

We are at the Genome Informatics 2024 meeting with two talks and a poster. @calkan_cs @zulal_b @camiladuitama1 @RayanChikhi in attendance.
We held our third plenary meeting for the BioPIM Project in beautiful Zurich, marking the close of our second review period. Since our last meeting in May, we have published three additional papers, with several more submitted and available as preprints.
The Genome Informatics 2024 Meeting will be hosted on the Wellcome Genome Campus @eventsWCS in Hinxton, UK, November 13-15, 2024. @calkan_cs will give an invited talk to feature hardware acceleration of bioinformatics workloads and the BioPIM Project.
We are glad to attend the @UCLA_CGSI in Los Angeles. In the first two weeks Klea and Ricardo presented their work. One more week to go, but we are already looking forward to joining CGSI 2025!
We are at the @UCLA_CGSI. Can presented @ProjectBioPIM, and Klea presented her project. We also met the leaders in bioinformatics, and one of our alumni, @mealser.
We presented the BioPIM Project at the @UCLA_CGSI 2024.
New paper alert! GateKeeper-GPU is now published at IEEE Transactions on Computers, by @zulal_b, @mealser, @_onurmutlu_ , Özcan Öztürk and @calkan_cs. Early access: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10436…, arXiv version: arxiv.org/abs/2103.14978
