Researcher profile
Ryan R Wick
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Pathogen Genomics where I work on assembly algorithms for bacterial genomes. I did my master's and PhD in Kat Holt's group. I have a particular interest in long-read assembly (especially using Oxford Nanopore reads) and hybrid assembly which combines both short and long reads. I'm the developer of Bandage, Unicycler, Porechop, Filtlong, Badread, Trycycler, Polypolish and Autocycler.
