Big news in genomics! #BaskinEngineering Ph.D. student @prajnahebbar.bsky.social led the complete sequencing of the DNA of a common marmoset. 🧬 “Now, we have this really complete, high-quality resource that people can take advantage of," she said. Via The Scientist: bit.ly/4q1O9C3

Our hitchhiking paper is out at genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... great collaborative effort with Prasad Sarashetti, @jlipovac.bsky.social, Filip Tomas and JJ Liu. Briefly, the nanopore is enough for high-quality human genomes. Recently, HERRO showed that even UL is sufficient. 1/3

Long-read special issue of GR is out, including our paper on T2T assembly using only Nanopore. Just in time for ONT to discontinue duplex cells on Nov 27 😅😂 Good thing Verkko also works great with HERRO-corrected simplex data! 📄 genome.cshlp.org/content/34/1... 📖 genome.cshlp.org/content/34/1...

Complete genomes for the apes! We have added bonobo, chimp, gorilla 🦍, orangutan 🦧, and gibbon to the T2T family! Lots of very cool stories buried in these genomes, some of which we have explored here, but I expect many more studies to follow: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
