Dev feeds GitLab CEO's open osteosarcoma sequencing data into Isovar for long-read testing
iskander · x · 2026-09-07
- Developer iskander is adding Sid Sijbrandij's (ex-GitLab CEO) publicly shared osteosarcoma multi-omics data as test cases for Isovar, exploring how mutant isoform assembly behaves on ONT and PacBio long reads — tooling was originally designed for Illumina short reads.
- The dataset spans 2022–2025 across multiple timepoints with WGS, WES, bulk/single-cell RNA-seq, PET/CT imaging and pathology, covering the primary resection and three recurrences, and is openly available for cancer research.
