I’m excited to share that we’ve successfully assembled the genome of the Formosan long-armed beetle (Cheirotonus formosanus) to chromosome level with both high contiguity and completeness. @ecol-evol.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I’m jealous of everyone who got to be there! I met Dr. Moreau at the Evolution conference, and her SSB presidential talk was inspiring. Definitely don’t miss her talk if you get the chance!

BRAKER4 is about to hatch. It now also covers functional annotation for protein sequences... #genomeannotation

Our lab is moving! I’m thrilled to be joining the Department of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago this fall. I’ll be recruiting PhD students so please spread the word and reach out if interested!

Museums aren’t just collections — they’re classrooms. 🦋🏛️ @corriemoreau.bsky.social's #Scopes100 talk shows how exhibits make #evolution accessible & engaging. https://loom.ly/vFnwcRo#Scopes100#evolution @ncse.bsky.social

We are excited to announce the SMBE Fellows Program! ✍️ Designed to provide networking and mentorship opportunities to early-career researchers through scientific writing in evolutionary biology for @molbioevol.bsky.social and @genomebiolevol.bsky.social 📆 Aug. 31 🔗 smbe.org/smbe-fellows-program

Announcing myloasm, a new long-read (ONT R10/PacBio) metagenome assembler that I've been working on during my postdoc in the Heng Li lab (@lh3lh3.bsky.social). myloasm-docs.github.io
