Trivedi @Mihir_Tri et al. assemble and characterize centromeres of 8 lemur species and show that these centromeres do not contain α-satellites and have a different motif for each genus, pointing to their imperative role in lemur radiation. https://t.co/YKi4AVyeib

Noyes et al. apply long-read sequencing to autism families identifying increased numbers of germline & postzygotic mutations. Repetitive sequences like segmental duplications are hypermutable, especially in early embryo. @EichlerEE @uwgenome @hhmi_science https://t.co/KzDfKRBPw5

Real et al. find human-specific NOTCH2NL duplications are linked to cortical expansion. Analysis of 82 long-read ape & human genomes shows independent duplications, major structural variation, and gene conversion, with rapid gene and regulatory divergence. https://t.co/DRYxtt2mrH

@PorubskyDavid et al. resolve 65 structurally diverse haplotype structures for the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome region. Deletion risk differs depending on structure; individuals of African ancestry are enriched for inverted repeats predisposing to inversion. https://t.co/TJakBoyLDS

[EichlerLab @EichlerLab]

Using long-read genome sequencing of unsolved autism families and population controls, postdoc Sui @Kate19155783 et al. identify pathogenic & candidate variants missed by short-read sequencing and the value of phased pangenomes to enrich in rare variants. https://t.co/XUS5GtbfLk

We assembled the acrocentric short arms of 23 samples from a 4-generation pedigree, revealing unique mutational and recombination patterns from these highly repetitive regions that are usually excluded in the genetic analysis. Preprint: https://t.co/GFT9JQTLqB

[F. Kumara Mastrorosa @fkmastrorosa]

We updated our preprint describing chr21 centromere genetics/epigenetics in families with Down syndrome and general population! We found transgenerational methylation changes in a subset of families and that centromere size asymmetry is exclusive to T21!

Using >130 human & 12 primate haplotypes, we reconstruct the chromosome 22q11.2 evolution to identify haplotype structures linked to deletions or inversions, explaining the lower prevalence of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in individuals of African descent.
