Our lab did a thing in rust (single-cell bioinformatics)
My lab has been trying to move most of our development over to rust (from C++).
Our most recent paper presents a tool for single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq processing in rust https://rdcu.be/cIL35. The repo is https://github.com/COMBINE-lab/alevin-fry. It's one of our first "big" rust packages; so hopefully our design practices and rust skills will continue to improve.
