Six years after deciding to "sequence all the things", here we are! 100+ reference-grade vertebrate genomes deposited to NCBI by the VGP Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) 🎉(ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/489…). Thanks to Erich Jarvis for his tireless leadership and Arang Rhie et al. for putting the work in!

I’m a bit late to the party :D Proud to contribute to this work. This is just the beginning of the cattle pangenome graph! Stay tune for more of Danang Crysnanto’s excellent work!

Fantastic bovine pangenome work led by Alex Leonard. Stay tuned for more by following Animal Genomics ETH Zurich!


Kar-Tong Tan found Oxford Nanopore basecallers often systematically call telomere repeats (TTAGGG)n into other repeats with similar signal profiles. He tuned the bonito basecaller and developed a pipeline to greatly reduce such errors. Read the thread and our preprint for details.


🎉Out today in Genome Medicine: our recommendations for clinical interpretation of variants in non-coding region of the genome genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… A huge team effort, co-led by the super awesome Jamie Ellingford ! 🧵
