Request: could submitters of long videos add a few words in a comment to say what it's about and for whom it will be worth watching?

From listening to the audio while doing other things:

This talk was largely about shotgun assembly of genetic sequence graphs using Bloom filters. There is some detail on Bloom filters, with Python code, and how to piece together overlaps of strings using them. There is high level discussion of how it would be nice to chunk up biological problems to make them map-reducable, but (understandably) not much detail.

The talk's pretty slow for anyone that has seen a few uses of Bloom filters, but it's a clear and nicely motivated talk for anyone that hasn't seen that flavor of data structure.
