I'm absolutely thrilled to share that our work on human centromere variation and evolution has been published in nature! We completely sequenced all centromeres from a second human genome & compared them to those from the first complete human genome, uncovering new sequences,

🧬Happy DNA Day🧬 Sincerely, Eichler Lab

Check out our grad student Lizzie Plender’s 1st first-author paper “Structural and genetic diversity in the secreted mucins MUC5AC and MUC5B” using LRS to depict human genetic diversity, detect selection signatures, and develop genotyping strategies. doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg…

Always great catching up with former lab members! Iman Hajirasouliha Can Alkan

Congrats to Dr. Santhosh Girirajan being named head of Penn State Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology! Cheers! science.psu.edu/news/girirajan… Santhosh Girirajan Girirajan Lab

Eichler grad student Xavi Guitart’s 1st first-author paper "Independent expansion, selection and hypervariability of the TBC1D3 gene family in humans" has been accepted to Genome Research. Check it out: genome.cshlp.org/content/early/…. Xavi Guitart

Exciting news! The ape T2T team just finished the full sequencing of chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean and Sumatran orangutan, and siamang genomes providing new evolutionary insights into previously uncharacterized regions. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now on bioRxiv! Deep sequencing of a four-generation, 28-member family (CEPH 1463) using multiple sequencing technologies provides an important resource to study transmission of all classes of genetic variation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Eichler lab grad student Xavi Guitart (Xavi Guitart)'s first author paper "Independent expansion, selection, and hypervariability of the TBC1D3 gene family in humans" featured in a GR special issue! Evan Eichler UW Genome Sciences HHMI

Congrats Dr. Philip Dishuck Philip Dishuck on your successful "Structural variation and expression of segmentally duplicated human genes" dissertation defense. Your determination and resilience have paid off! To your future success! Cheers!!

I'm thrilled to share our latest research on the human chromosome 2 fusion, addressing a basic question: "What makes us uniquely human?". Our work is now live on BioRxiv! (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). EichlerLab We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! :)

Our new Nature Genetics paper on human segmental duplications (SDs) provides a pangenome perspective of SDs, new potential protein-coding genes, and greater complexity in human variation with implications for disease and evolution. rdcu.be/d5AD9
