Our paper on the Berghia genome is now out. It documents the prevalence of previously annotated genes pointing to the need to study a wider diversity of life. Dr. Jessica Goodheart Deirdre Lyons Desmond Ramirez rdcu.be/dwhNr
Check out our recent publications on the genome and transcriptome of Kellet's whelk as well as the challenges of extracting high quality DNA from marine invertebrate tissue! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… via Frontiers - Marine Science and peerj.com/articles/16510/ via PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment Cal Poly Bailey College of Science and Mathematics
Interested in low-input genomics? Nickellaus Roberts et al. posted a pre-print showing a simple MDA-based method to get HiFi reads and nice assemblies from e.g., 1/2 C. elegans with negligible coverage bias or chimeras.

Please share our obituary of the wonderful Claus Nielsen. A huge contributor to the study of animal evolution + a very nice man. Happy to have known him for almost 30 yrs since I first wrote to him (a letter!) during my PhD. With Andreas Hejnol + Arendt Lab. nature.com/articles/d4158…
