centromeres, we build 'em. chromosomes, we break 'em. repetitive DNA's not junk to us. we're basic researchers answering fundamental questions in human biology.

Centromeres have been difficult to analyze because they comprise highly repeated DNA. Long-read sequencing has made it possible to study their structure and evolution. Read more in this Perspective by Steven Henikoff @fredhutch @genomeresearch https://t.co/5IiXwBuvil #T2T

🎉BIG NEWS! 🎉
We've FULLY SEQUENCED the HUMAN GENOME! 🧬

This breakthrough achievement could lead to HUGE advances in medicine and research. Thanks to UCSC's @khmiga & @genome_gov 's @aphillippy for leading the #T2T team through this monumental effort!

A fully sequenced human genome was announced more than 20 years ago. @ScienceMagazine, @genomeresearch, and others report on the efforts of the Telomere-to-Telomere (#T2T) Consortium to complete a comprehensive human reference genome. https://t.co/OLgVJcLlw2

Sad to hear of the passing of Haig Kazazian, a giant in the field of human genetics. After identifying a LINE1 insertion causing hemophilia, his lab trail-blazed 30+ yrs of key discoveries on human transposons. An amazing career he narrated here:
