Had so much fun writing this small review with Nicolas Lou and Peter Sudmant about structural variation in primates in the era of T2T genomes and pangenomics :) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



How many genes for the starch-digesting enzyme amylase to you have? More than your non-agricultural ancestors. It may affect how many cavities you get. news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/04/agr… UC Berkeley The University of Tennessee Health Science Center nature

Amazing summary of our amylase paper from folks in Berkeley news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/04/agr…! Cool application for the new pangenome-based genotyping method 🔥 Peter Sudmant Erik Garrison Jason Chin Nicolas Lou Joana L. Rocha Andrea Guarracino Nicole Soranzo Alessandro Raveane

Thank you Robert Sanders for such a great digest of our paper! 😉What a privilege to have worked with such a lovely group of kind curious generous bright people: Peter Sudmant Erik Garrison Alma Nicolas Lou Alessandro Raveane Davide Bolognini Jason Chin Nicole Soranzo Andrea Guarracino!🍕🌾😊

Our paper on the evolution of structural variation at the amylase locus is out today in Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… congrats to co-first authors Joana L. Rocha Nicolas Lou Davide Bolognini Alessandro Raveane & Alma Halgren, co-corresponding author Erik Garrison

I got interviewed by Andrew J Wight 🇦🇺🇨🇴✍🏽🕺🏻💃🏽 for Forbes magazine! I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share my work, and especially for the emphasis on the importance of science by and for the Global South—a science born frm both the blessings and challenges of being from biodiverse regions

This was an exciting and fun project. I am excited and grateful to continue cooking with this incredible team of superstars! 🍝 Alma, Joana L. Rocha Nicolas Lou Peter Sudmant Davide Bolognini Nicole Soranzo Jason Chin Erik Garrison Andrea Guarracino 7/7


Happy to share our new review on ARGs out now in Nature Reviews Genetics! Rasmus Nielsen, Yun Deng 邓赟, and I intend this to be both a useful reference for ARG novices and experts alike. A particular focus of this review is how ARGs inform us about population genetic processes...

It's finally online - Samvardhini Sridharan masterfully handled the heat of writing the most touching article I've read on our work in North-African foxes for Berkeley Science Review + Madeleine Snyder designed the most beautiful illustrations ever! berkeleysciencereview.com/article/2024/0…



Congratulations Gonzalo Benegas <3 Can't wait to use it 🤩
