Hello everybody! I'm the birdGRC project funded by @MSCActions and hosted in @uniofeastanglia. @fjruizruano from @alexander_suh lab is taking care of me. I just born, but stay tune to know more about me. You can start here:

Very thrilled to see our latest GRC work led by collaborators Stephen Schlebusch and Radka Reifova out in @NatureComms!
tl;dr: Germline-restricted chromosomes get weirder with every songbird species we look at. 🤯

Pangene is a new tool for constructing a pangenome gene graph from multiple assemblies: github.com/lh3/pangene. You can explore the rich haplotypic diversity of human genes at pangene.liheng.org. Still WIP.

Excited to announce the first view of human centromere variation! We completely sequenced all centromeres from a second human genome & compared them to those from the first complete human genome, uncovering new sequences, structures, & chromatin landscapes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Come and join our lab as a postdoc! The project focuses on the evolution and molecular mechanisms of unusual chromosome behaviour in fungus gnats, a clade of flies with arguably the most complex chromosome system of any organism. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/… deadline 20/6 please RT

A threat to all scientists in Germany, particularly to postdocs: On 17 March the German Ministry of Science released a paper on the planned amendment of the German Act on Temporary Scientific Contracts. Contracts for postdocs shall be limited to 3 years - then you are out!.....

Yup! If you are interested in #ComparativeGenomics, #Bioinformatics, #SexChromosomes, #Evolution, come join the lab at @VUBrussel in Brussels, Belgium
We have very international, welcoming, friendly, stimulating environment👇👇👇
DM for more information if interested.
Pls RT!

🐐🐐Our GoaT paper is out! Please check it out at wellcomeopenresearch.org/art…! 🐐🐐
Read about the incredible Genomes on a Tree (GoaT) and how EBP will use it to index publicly available metadata for all eukaryotic species and interpolate missing values through phylogenetic comparison.
