🚨 Pre-print alert! 🚨 We generated chromosome-scale diploid genome assemblies for the widely used fibroblast lines BJ and IMR-90. These models of replicative senescence and telomere shortening now have fully resolved telomeres, subtelomeres, and centromeres. 🧬 🧵👇

Some glimmers of hope (but mostly confusion) this morning. I have heard that no intramural tenure track investigators were supposed to be on the termination list although some folks clearly got termination notices. I am actively checking into this every way I can. 1/2

Short update on NIH The situation is very confusing, a not just to me. Folks who were told the were to be terminated did not receive any communication for a day and a half, people who were “on the list” have not received anything as of yet. Some folks who had been terminated have be reinstated 1/2
