I was diagnosed with cancer in April. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy couldn’t tame this, and my medical team is now focused on keeping me comfortable while I spend the last chapter of my life with my partner, family, and friends. 1/4

I know so many people who’ve been touched by @sarahecrump - by her passions for science and people and the world we live in. Here’s a small way to honor her and help further these passions. https://t.co/4Fyyn6PRme

Happy to share that the Javan gibbon genome assembly has been published! This was a great collaborative project with a bunch of very good friends @MerlyEscalona EdGreen @roneilllab @HartleyGabby @MakovaLab @MariamOkhovat @jake_vancampen https://t.co/DNmksqHfWX

SRF (Satellite Repeat Finder) is a simple tool to reconstruct the repeat motifs in long satellite repeats from short reads, accurate long reads or high-quality contigs. https://t.co/ef9fda2Byo

[Marcela Uliano-Silva @MahUliano]

MitoHiFi has a new release today! https://t.co/BYIoJnPe6V… It uses the latest version of hifiasm and outputs a more meaningful statistics on the contigs_stats.tsv file

Our first study out, in preprint form, from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium. Approaches to generate high-quality reference genomes, which will ultimately contribute to a panhuman reference. Stay tuned. @HumanPangenome @GenomeInABottle @genomeark

A blog post on concepts related to phased assembly: https://t.co/8D19RBTbd4

[Merly Escalona @MerlyEscalona]

@conchoecia @tomleeturner Agree with @JJ_Emerson 1 Cell is enough. And I’d say almost* no base-level errors.

[Heng Li @lh3lh3]

Hifiasm v0.15 released with much improved Hi-C mode especially for non-human species. Also for HiFi-only data, it now outputs two partially phased complete assemblies in addition to primary+alternate contigs. Fine work by @ChengChhy. Available at https://t.co/OF7MYACtkT
