This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating HiFi dad-a with some cutting-edge science!

Researchers @elliecat.bsky.social at UC Riverside and @scarey.bsky.social at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology are revealing parts of the Y chromosome that were previously a mystery. www.pacb.com/blog/celebra...
Celebrating Father’s Day with new discoveries of the Y chromosome achieved with HiFi sequencing - PacBio
Featuring the Y chromosome - showcasing the power of HiFi sequencing to illuminate regions of the genome long considered out of reach

Thank you! We used DEEPSPACE (github.com/jtlovell/DEE...), which builds off of GENESPACE. I don't think DEEPSPACE has a tutorial up for this just yet, but there's a vignette on the GENESPACE GitHub that walks through some of these steps htmlpreview.github.io?https://gith...

It's been a busy year! The second thing I'd like to share is our is our pre-print on the evolution of the exquisitely cool Cannabaceae sex chromosomes!

The evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in plants
Ancient heteromorphic sex chromosomes are common in mammals, but not in plants. Sex chromosomes in the plant family Cannabaceae, which includes species like hops and hemp, were identified a century ag...

Unlocking Amborella’s ZW sex chromosome system - Nature Plants
The most widespread chromosomal sex determination systems in plants and animals with separate sexes are the XY system, in which males are heterogametic, and the ZW system, in which females are heterog...

Hi Bluesky! I'm going to use my first posts to tell you about some really exciting updates.

I'm delighted to share that our manuscript on the Amborella sex chromosomes was published last month! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
ZW sex chromosome structure in Amborella trichopoda - Nature Plants
The haplotype-resolved genome in Amborella trichopoda addresses outstanding questions on the structure and gene content of the recently evolved ZW sex chromosomes.
