Has any information on the "Cortex de Bruijn-based assembly and variant-calling framework" been made public? It sounds very useful!

Hi there. We'll be making Cortex (and documentation) publicly available in the near future (certainly before the workshop mentioned above). When we do, we'll be sure to mention it on SeqAnswers
cheers!

Mario Caccamo was up in Edinburgh yesterday for another Cortex demo:

I'm not 100% sure if he and Zam have actually made an official release, so I won't post a link to the download we used. I think Mario said they'd be setting up a sourceforge page soon...

[Zam]

that's right...

...we are making the official release on sourceforge soon. Sorry for the delay..
