Preprint on "BWT construction and search at the terabase scale". We can compress 100 human genomes to 11GB in 21 hours, find SMEMs with it, do affine-gap alignment and retrieve similar local haplotypes. 7.3Tb commonly sequenced bacterial genomes ⇒ 30GB arxiv.org/abs/2409.00613

Interested in how genomic data can help improve conservation assessments and population monitoring? Check out our paper in Evolutionary Applications where we outline background, provide a bioinformatic pipeline, and suggest an analytical framework🧵doi.org/10.1111/eva.70…

New work on morphological phenotypes of marmoset hybrids (aurita and jacchus groups). We hope it serves the primate community for understanding marmoset identification, evolution, and differences between marmosets in and out of biomedical facilities link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Earlier this month I had the great pleasure of attending the Primatenzentrum DPZ Primate Genomics meeting and presenting on some of my work on annotation of primate MHC using long read sequencing technology.

Genetic evidence from the Huanan Seafood Market strengthens the #COVID19 animal origin hypothesis. Scripps Research, CNRS 🌍 and University of Arizona identified raccoon dogs and civet cats in stalls with positive samples of #SARSCoV2. More at: ow.ly/ge9h50TraSZ

For anyone interested in using portable DNA sequencing with Oxford Nanopore MinION as a teaching and capacity-building tool in conservation and biodiversity research, here is a great article by Watsa et al. (2020) with training advice, case studies, step-by-step protocols, and

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people. He was the worst POTUS in history. Impeached twice. Convicted felon. Tried to stage a coup. Sold state secrets. But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

Thank you Kamala Harris & Hillary Clinton. I am so thankful you care so much, that you radiate excellence, and that you terrify mediocre men and those in thrall to them. #Someday

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.
