Snippy executes rapid, parallelized haploid variant calling and core genome alignment for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) reads.

Snippy is the go-to bioinformatics tool for high-speed variant analysis: it precisely identifies Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (indels) by aligning NGS sequence reads against a haploid reference genome. Developed by Torsten Seemann, Snippy is designed for efficiency, leveraging multi-core CPUs to quickly generate a consistent output folder containing VCF, BAM, and consensus FASTA files. Crucially, it integrates with `snippy-core` to produce a core SNP alignment, a foundational step for building robust phylogenomic trees from multiple isolates (e.g., in bacterial outbreak analysis).

### [Auggie: GPT-4o on your Windows computer as a native app](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_1q7w7ObuhLo)

OpenAI has decided they are releasing the Mac app first with GPT-4o. We've taken that model and paired it with an open source screensharing library and desktop app and put together a Windows option. What more could you want? No need to sell a kidney and buy a Mac.
