We’ve just unlocked more secrets about the fascinating naked mole-rat!
Great collaborative effort with Michael Wilson, Jared Simpson, Rémy Bruggmann, Evan Eichler and the guys who did the heavy lifting, Dustin Sokolowski, Mihai Miclăuș and Alex Nater.

@elonmusk I know how to make a virtual cell; interested?

Progress toward a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome, improving insights into complex, repeat-rich genomic regions. This genomic breakthrough paves the way for deeper biomedical insights, potentially revolutionizing studies on longevity, fertility, and disease resistance.

🧬 Exceptional cancer resistance
🫁 Unparalleled hypoxia tolerance
👑 Eusocial behavior
What’s groundbreaking?
A new chromosomal-level genome assembly reveals gene losses and duplications linked to sperm morphology, immune adaptations, and even oxidative stress resistance.

As well as the NMR whisperers Ewan St. John Smith and Melissa Holmes and all the other authors!!!

Our latest study features an updated reference genome that sheds light on the genetic underpinnings of this unique creature’s incredible traits, like:

Interesting new study by Dr Emmanouil Metzakopian investigates the interplay between mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites - essential in cells for functions including calcium homeostasis👏

The findings could lead to new therapeutic targets👉https://t.co/aLaldFBIMm
