We were all very sad to learn the death of Pierre Capy. Pierre was a professor at University Paris Saclay, in the 1990s, he started a group working on the evolutionary genomics of transposable elements; this group is still very active today. He was a great teacher, mentor, and colleague.
Pierre Capy était un généticien, un drosophiliste, un acteur majeur dans l'essor de la génétique des éléments transposables en France.
Très impliqué dans l'administration de la vie scientifique, il a aussi été directeur du laboratoire LEGS (actuel @EGCE), et un des fondateurs en 2016 de @IDEEV.

I'm super excited to share that this article was published today in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

All made possible by the fantastic group of donors, volunteers and scientists at The American Chestnut Foundation (tacf.org), HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, and our collaborators.

This isn't shortread data, but alignments of genome assemblies with N50 > 100Mb. The plot is the # of bp per 100Kb window that are dropped because of missing data -- because those bp physically are not there in one of the other 25 genomes. This is what normal plant genomes look like, folks.

📣 Vers 25'30 "Les légendes donnent peu envie aux jeunes femmes de faire de la science". J'ai souvent été découragée par les évènements "women in science" des universités (en CH) car j'ai eu l'impression qu'il fallait être exceptionnelle pour réussir en tant que femme. Louables mais contre productifs
Quand Marie Curie prend la tête de son laboratoire en 1906, une chose est exceptionnelle : elle ouvre largement ses portes aux femmes, à contre-courant des usages universitaires.
