Fantastic #RepeatExplorer workshop organized by Macas lab. A huge thank you to our special guest Johann Confais from UR Genomics-Info for his captivating presentation on REPET. Thanks to the backing of ELIXIR Czech Republic & ELIXIR Europe, this event marked the beginning of a new collaboration.

A new type of plant holocentromere ! Excited to be part of a great team led by Houben lab at Leibniz IPK, including Yi-Tzu Kuo, André Marques and many others. Supported by #GACR, Biology Centre CAS and ELIXIR Czech Republic. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Great collaboration with Andreas Houben Yi-Tzu Kuo and Macas lab now published online in Nature Communications. Here we show that holocentromeres can also consist of only a few centromeric units with megabase-sized repeat arrays in similar ranges as in monocentromeres! Crazy!

📢 Hey REPET users ! A new version of the Docker #REPET image is available! hub.docker.com/r/urgi/docker_… It includes the REXdb (Macas lab) and Dfam (ISB) databases formatted for REPET use to improve the classification of your #Transposons reference library.
