The first telomere-to-telomere, haplotype phased, chromosome-level Eucalyptus genome has arrived! We completed E regnans, one of the world's tallest trees that form the most carbon-dense forests, to understand carbon drawdown and combat climate change! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The Epigenetic Time Machine has officially launched! Out today in Nature Communications - our chromatin profiles from century-old FIXED specimens! nature.com/articles/s4146… A game-changer for museums! Dr Erin Hahn (she/her) Dr Marina Alexander Celine Frere Nicola Jackson

I'm excited to share that our new paper on sex chromosomes in platypus and chicken came out today in PNAS. It shows how imbalances with gene dosage on sex chromosomes are corrected in the proteome! Paul Waters Jenny Graves Check it out at pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Logan is the assembly of all 27M DNA/RNA-seq data (44+ petabases). It expands the available genetic diversity across the Tree of Life by orders of magnitude. And it enabled us to perform a true pan-SRA sequence search in only 11 hours. Data link (cc0): registry.opendata.aws/pasteur-logan/

Excited to share our work on animal genome structure led by @Tom_Lewin! We assembled a dataset of 64 animal genomes and quantified shuffling rates to provide a comprehensive view of genome evolution across various lineages. 1/3 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Small brown beetles are so good

We often say humans are destroying species before they're even discovered! Well, it seems the undiscovered species are even more vulnerable than the known ones! Nice write up by Emma Caton . Science at the Natural History Museum Natural History Museum nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

🆕Using a new imaging rig, Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG) made 190,000 images in an year. 🗨️"Digital image for every #specimen is an essential part of the #DNAbarcoding workflow at Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG)", reminds the University of Guelph team. ➡️Guest blog post: blog.pensoft.net/2024/07/16/low… 🔓Research paper in ZooKeys.
