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


Congrats NY Genome Center and all involved. Great to see 1000 Genomes data resource brought up to date. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

On this United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity, we're proud to be doing our bit in the field of #genomics to help protect this planet's #biodiversity 🧬💪 Why not check out this by-numbers overview of the #DarwinTreeOfLife project... ow.ly/ebz650Jek0F


This Sunday the world celebrated the #InternationalDayforBiodiversity. Listen as some ERGA members share their thoughts on what Biodiversity means to them! bit.ly/3wM7xry EmilianoTrucchi Iliana Bista @bedhom @RubySeadragon @Naturalis_Sci @UU_University University of Zurich Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle

Very excited to share our new paper on genome evolution of the amazing Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation, with insights from 24 new genome assemblies biorxiv.org/content/10.110… from my work with Wellcome Sanger Tree of Life Programme Richard Durbin Eric Miska Lab GeneticsCambridge @sangerVGP @Naturalis_Sci 1/7




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.


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/
