Population-scale long-read DNA sequencing: peering under the hood of the new evolutionary genomics
Abstract. Population-scale long-read DNA sequencing (PLRS) is rapidly reshaping our understanding of genomic variation in humans and non-model species. In

Multispecies pangenomes reveal a pervasive influence of population size on structural variation
Structural variants (SVs) are widespread in vertebrate genomes, yet their evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Using 45 long-read de novo genome assemblies and pangenome tools, we analyze S...

An ancient recombination desert is a speciation supergene in placental mammals - Nature
Deep learning methods identified a large and evolutionarily conserved X-linked low recombination region in placental mammals that serves as both a barrier to gene flow in hybridizing lineages and an a...

Happy to share our new paper "Inferring Species Trees" led by @scottvedwards.bsky.social, which overviews coalescent models and methods for species tree inference. 📚 doi.org/10.1016/B978...

Our new preprint @scottvedwards.bsky.social 🧬🐦 Long-read genomes show songbird germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs; expelled from somatic cells) are 70 % repeats and packed with active LTR retroviruses. A hidden reservoir for TE-driven innovation/diversification! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How do SVs, satellite DNA & gene content shape avian genome evolution? We analyzed 45 HiFi genomes across 3 Scrub-Jay species with distinct population sizes. Grateful to be on this incredible team led by Scott Edwards! "Comparative population pangenomes" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
