I'm presenting a poster this afternoon at the Biology of Genomes #BoG25 - come by #254 in Biondi Hall if you wanna learn more about Non-B DNA motifs in great ape T2T genomes!

Complete sequencing of ape genomes - Nature
Complete sequences of chromosomes telomere-to-telomere from chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan and siamang provide a comprehensive and valuable resource for future evolutionary comparisons.

🚨 New preprint! We analyzed 39 bird genomes—including 3 Mauritian species that bounced back from the brink of extinction—to explore genomic erosion in a comparative framework. 🧬🦜🧩 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #consgen #popgen @claudiafontsere.bsky.social

A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

My first PostDoc paper turned out to be this one: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (a small contribution to this massive effort - but glad to be part of it!)

I don't know how many Swedish speaking contacts I reach here, but if anyone is interested in wolfs and conservation genomics, I'll give a popular science evening lecture about it next Thursday! That is European evening time. In Swedish..🇸🇪 www.studieframjandet.se/uppsala-lan/...
