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!

🚨 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.

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 😍
PAPER ALERT! @jesperboman.bsky.social et al just published @journal-evo.bsky.social. Their work 'On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage'.
They came up with a #novel #method based on historical #recombination events (Fisher junctions) to understand this hybridisation event.

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!
Paper alert!
@JesperBoman et al bring empirical evidence for the idea that #chromosome number differences between taxa can contribute to #speciation!
