Happy to announce two-fold news! 1) The SCINKD paper is now published in @molbioevol.bsky.social - doi.org/10.1093/molb... 2) SCINKD [v2.2.4] release has reduced runtimes (about 2x) and the revitalized mode for genomes >5Gb is now live and tested on genomes up to 21Gb! 🐸 github.com/DrPintoThe2n...

Sex chromosome identification and genome curation from a single individual with SCINKD
Abstract. In most animal species, the sex-determining pathway is typically initiated by the presence/absence of a primary genetic cue at a critical point d

Is your golden retriever friendly because of its breed? Genetics says: not really. A citizen science study of 18,000+ dogs found breed explains only 9% of behavioral variation in individual dogs. Personality predates modern breeds by thousands of years. #2026MMM www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
"Effect of breed on behavior.
(A) Biddability is among eight behavioral factors defined from surveys. SE, standard error. (B) Dogs in some breeds tend to score unusually high or low for this factor compared with dogs overall. (C and D) Border collies score lower on average for biddability (vertical line at median) but vary widely (C), including genetically confirmed border collies (D). (E) In mixed-breed dogs, border collie ancestry has a small genetic effect on biddability. [Photo credits: K. Wirka (Sprocket); M. Wisniewski (Caboose); B. Hoadley (Molly); M. Logsdon (Hunter); A. Macias (Lily); S. Staples (TWooie)]"

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 from the emerald bowfin! It’s not easy being green! How does it do it? We don’t know for sure, but suspect it is biliverdin. More research in the works… 🧪 #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Centromere evolution isn't a sudden switch! Our study shows centromere transitions are a step-by-step process driven by a combination of drift and selection. Discover how the kinetochore interface shapes this gradual change in our new preprint 🥳 doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.16.633479 🧵(1/8)

Jan. 16th’s 9am AEDT meeting includes a tag-team talk from Kate O’Hara and Stephen Zozaya from the Australian National University talking about hybridization in everybody’s favorite Australian gecko: Heteronotia. Sure, you might find Heteronotia under actual garbage, but they’ve got secrets!
