I'm presenting a poster this afternoon at the Biology of Genomes #BoG25 - come by #254 in Biondi Hall if you wanna learn more about Non-B DNA motifs in great ape T2T genomes!

My first first-author Post Doc paper together with Kateryna Makova just got published in the latest issue of Nucleic Acids Research: academic.oup.com/nar/article/... Press release by Sam Sholtis: science.psu.edu/news/Makova4... Artwork by Dani Zemba. Key Findings below!

Nature research paper: Complete sequencing of ape genomes https://go.nature.com/3EfWwqk

🚨 New preprint! We analyzed 39 bird genomes—including 3 Mauritian species that bounced back from the brink of extinction—to explore genomic erosion in a comparative framework. 🧬🦜🧩 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #consgen #popgen @claudiafontsere.bsky.social

A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

My first PostDoc paper turned out to be this one: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (a small contribution to this massive effort - but glad to be part of it!)

Very cool work and beautiful cover by my PhD brother @jesperboman.bsky.social 😍

Excellent scheduling according to me! ☕🍽️☕

📣 New PhD position on flycatchers with @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social — spread the word! Combine bioinformatics, long-term datasets and field work to explore climate adaptation and speciation in the lovely flycatchers. Join us in Uppsala, Sweden! Apply by Mar 18: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... #ecoevojob

I don't know how many Swedish speaking contacts I reach here, but if anyone is interested in wolfs and conservation genomics, I'll give a popular science evening lecture about it next Thursday! That is European evening time. In Swedish..🇸🇪 www.studieframjandet.se/uppsala-lan/...

Really cool work by @jesperboman.bsky.social et al!

Please spread! The newly established CF Genomics at UOL is re-advertising a position for a bioinformatician uol.de/en/job/bioin...

Kateryna Makova and I have a new preprint out on non-canonical DNA in human and ape T2T genomes: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Collaboration with Kaivan Kamali, Francesca Chiaromonte, Eduard Kejnovsky, and Iva Kejnovska. Graphical abstract by Dani Zemba.
