🚀🧬🔥 Hot off the press — 2025! Don’t miss this must-read publication: bit.ly/4mJwFb7 This groundbreaking paper sets the stage for Earth BioGenome Project Phase II — where EBP is gearing up to scale genome sequencing 10× faster than ever before! 🌍✨

We are excited that the Earth BioGenome Project, a global network of scientists including those from the Sanger Institute, has mapped the second phase of its ambitious plan to sequence all 1.67 million known species on Earth by 2035. 👏 www.sanger.ac.uk/news_item/bi...

A great thing about working in a lab is being involved in lab meetings and witnessing everyone's projects take shape. A single project may seem to go slow but all projects together is impressive.

Sequence-resolved mobile element sagas, Chapter 3: “MEI at population scale” This work closes our trilogy on MEI research advances enabled by long-read sequencing. Bonus tutorial about MEI of our structural variation study of 1KGP samples resequenced using @nanoporetech.com [1/9]

Congratulations to all awardees with a #PID2024!! 🥳 extremely happy and thrilled to share our project proposal (L1-CANPREDICT) got funded. Keep tuned about the research to come from REPBIO at @crg.eu

Travel broadens the mind – an excellent example of that is EMBL ARISE Fellow Thomas Weber, who expanded his data science skills during his secondment at @scilifelab.se. 👇 Read the full story about his journey and the impact of his ARISE Fellowship. www.embl.org/news/people-...

[1/8] *New Open-Access Long Read Resource*. We sequenced 1,019 genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project sample cohort using @nanoporetech.com long-read sequencing (LRS) to median 17x coverage. Publication at go.nature.com/4ffPb8f. @hhu.de @crg.eu @embl.org @impvienna.bsky.social

EMBL researchers and their collaborators have provided exciting new insights into human genetic variation by building upon the 1000 Genomes Project dataset. The two studies constitute what may be the most complete overview of the human genome to date. www.embl.org/news/science...

The first, co-authored by @bernardo-rodriguez.bsky.social, discovered more than 167,000 structural variants across the 1,019 individuals, doubling the known amount of structural variation in the human pangenome. Most variants were rare, which will help accelerate the diagnosis of rare diseases.
