Upgraded green sea turtle genome assembly with SeaWorld Texas State Aquarium revealing close evolutionary link between teenage mutant ninja turtles and teenage mutant ninja kung-fu chickens. Draft: Wang 2013 Nature Genetics dnazoo.org/blog/turtle-po…

Today we share end-to-end genome assemblies for the Argentine black and white tegu, a model lizard species. A collaboration with Shedd Aquarium to upgrade drafts published by Michael Hiller et al. Bonus: more conservation of synteny within lizards. dnazoo.org/blog/a-genome-…

An #eagle genome has landed! We worked with Texas State Aquarium to produce chromosome-length scaffolds for the golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos based on a draft from (Van Den Bussche et al., 2017). dnazoo.org/blog/the-eagle…


DNA Zoo chromosome-length genome assemblies for 60+ mammalian species in two months and counting.. Check out the mammalia decoded here at the DNA Zoo Erez Lieberman Aiden Olga Dudchenko 🇺🇦 Aiden Lab UWA UWA Research Bioplatforms Australia dnazoo.org/assemblies

DNA Zoo this week release with Moody Gardens .. upgraded genome assembly of a charismatic fish, the red-bellied piranha.

We're featured in a Biocompare article about automating sequencing workflows! Interesting comparison of Opentrons and much more expensive robotics. Image is Zane from Erez Lieberman Aiden lab with their OT-2. biocompare.com/Editorial-Arti…


Today we are releasing 7 trillion bases of raw sequencing data NCBI including Hi-C experiments in 64 species. Thanks Illumina Macrogen @Novogene_US Broad Institute BCM HGSC BCMHouston GARP core for help in data production. Stay tuned for more! dnazoo.org/blog/all-our-b…

With Leonid L Moroz Whitney Laboratory Univ of Florida we are sharing the chromosome-length assembly for Aplysia californica, the California sea hare, a well-established model organism in neuroscience. Bonus: conservation of chrom content in gastropods! dnazoo.org/blog/hare-rais…




Huge congrats to MIT Technology Review Innovator Under 35 Olga Dudchenko 🇺🇦 recognized today for work that has unleashed the power of 3d methods for genome assembly technologyreview.com/lists/innovato…

Rice researcher Olga Dudchenko has been named to MIT Technology Review's 2019 Innovators Under 35. Her work made it possible to reconstruct the genome of a new species for under $1,000 and is now used to assemble genomes for endangered and vulnerable species: bit.ly/2YcMoEy
