The latest hifiasm can directly assemble standard @nanopore simplex R10 reads, without HERRO correction or other preprocessing, to phased contigs of contiguity comparable to HiFi assembly. Like before, you can further add ultra-long, Hi-C or trio data for better assembly.
So excited that our work on the first speciation gene pair in nematodes C. briggsae and C. nigoni finally got published on PNAS. It is really a tough but thrilling journey! It is just the beginning of the story of F-box genes, and I cannot wait to tackle the next one! Stay tuned

I've started making short videos where I walk through the Jupyter notebooks for Think Python.
Not sure yet what I'll do with them, maybe an online class.
For now, here are the first three: https://t.co/gO4rp2ZNDo

Happy to share our review on repetitive DNAs and their impact on insect genomes, authored by Octavio Palacios-Gimenez @OMPalacios7 and me.

@dr_tgpeterson After living in Alabama now Florida I’ve got a more nihilistic attitude- maybe things have to get catastrophically bad to break the GOP stranglehold on America. Because I don’t know what else could.
Excited to share our unexpected finding: piRNA pathway designed to protect the genome from invading nucleic acids created a population of selfish small RNAs that have perpetuated themselves for the past hundred million years of mammalian evolution. https://t.co/9Nm1iLfBug
I started gathering a list for REUs/Summer research opportunities for undergraduate students in Ecology/Conservation/Evolutionary Biology. Feel share to share with any undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in *PAID* research.
