If you want to know how ancestral hybridisation facilitated species divergence in Lake Malawi, read our new preprint biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… . If you want to see Lake Malawi cichlids in nature, join us for SMBE Malawi Meeting smbe-malawi.org Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution Sept 18-22

the Sanger Prize is a wonderful chance for an undergraduate student from a low or middle income country to come spend 3 months Wellcome Sanger Institute doing an internship on genomics with scientists here. applications open now. Please RT! sanger.ac.uk/about/study/sa…

#BoG20 Iliana Bista sequenced genomes of 24 new Antarctic icefish. Analyses shows rapid radiation of Antarctic fish. TE expansion shows role in cold adaptation and diversification. Reconstruct evolution of antifreeze glycoprotein across species. Cool icefish😀

Join the call for the EU to strategically fund a #EuropeanReferenceGenomeAtlas as part of Earth BioGenome Project 🌍. Sign here: bit.ly/3iRTk4a. Reference genomes for all life will underpin our future interactions with the living world.

Thank you Adam Phillippy and Karen Miga and the whole T2T team. This is an absolute triumph, the culmination of 30 years of human genome sequencing. Great to see the future of genomics - makes me so happy.

What amazing work Ariel Gershman! The Human Satellites have such interesting genome biology and regulation. We are now gaining real biological insight to these regions thanks to the #t2t team

PathPhynder for efficiently placing ancient DNA data into reference phylogenies, e.g. Y or MT, plus a new integrated Y chromosome data set on ~120k sites. Congratulations @ruidlpm

Looking for genome assembly innovator to tackle hard problems arising in sequencing 1000s of species. jobs.sanger.ac.uk/vacancy/princi… #DarwinTreeOfLife

Gene Myers just released super fast whole genome aligner github.com/thegenemyers/F…. He and Chenxi Zhou and I have lots of ideas for downstream use.

FASTGA uses very efficient and flexible github.com/thegenemyers/O… file format/library we are now using for multiple purposes. Compressed, indexed, schema-containing binary files with record-based text equivalent. Single C file interface with no dependencies.

Terrible to hear of the death of John Sulston. A huge influence and inspiration to me and many others. He changed the course of scientific research twice, for C.elegans and genomics, in a way very few have done. Great strength of vision, and focus, to deliver selflessly for all. x.com/sangerinstitut…

Come work with me and Richard Durbin on long-read vertebrate genome assemblies, cichlids, human demography and more. Lots of PacBio, @10xgenomics, @bionanogenomics and Arima Genomics data to play with jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/17031/
