Is online \o/ happy to have contribute to this work! Congrats to the whole team and particularly to @camoragaq! The Silene latifolia genome and its giant Y chromosome | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… @ici_uoh @uohiggins @ANID_Chile
The Silene latifolia genome and its giant Y chromosome

The Silene latifolia genome and its giant Y chromosome

In many species with sex chromosomes, the Y is a tiny chromosome. However, the dioecious plant Silene latifolia has a giant ~550-megabase Y chromosome, which has remained unsequenced so far. We used...

Do you think that warming is the only key for the future distribution of the marine species? We show that for the northern krill, light might be also key! This is a special #NSFfunded paper for me- but the lead was @andreaswallberg! A thread 1/n nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Ecological genomics in the Northern krill uncovers loci for local adaptation across ocean basins

Ecological genomics in the Northern krill uncovers loci for local adaptation across ocean basins

Nature Communications - Marine life depends on zooplankton like krill, but it’s uncertain how these species will respond to a warming ocean. This study of genome variation in the Northern...

I asked #ChatGPT to write a function in python to create a random nucleotide sequence of length 20, and then find the reverse complement. It's going to be interesting to see what we can do in 5 or 10 years!
