Hey everyone!
Check out the new DNA Zoo website with 50 new mammalian chromosome-length genome assemblies! Data freely available. Shoutout to @thednazoo team and @theaidenlab! Go to 'Methods' for 3D-DNA and Juicebox Assembly Tools links.

Dear friends,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the DNA Zoo website dedicated to sharing chromosome-length genomics resources. To start, we are releasing chromosome-length genome assemblies for 50 mammalian species!
Welcome to the DNA Zoo!

Extra, extra, ratical discovery: thought extinct for 11 million years, the Laotian rock rat emerges as a living fossil hiding in the karsts of Southeast Asia. Adding a chromosome-length genome assembly to the story @thednazoo:

Not all heroes wear capes, some stack pebbles. Check out genome of the western pebble-mound mouse defending the outback from his Furtress of Solitude, brought to you in collaboration with @renee_firman@uwanews and @DustRubenstein@Columbia: https://t.co/fcA2gTA7Mt
Put your armor down. New genome out now @thednazoo, built with George Eisenhoffer & team (@MDAndersonNews): the fish scaled gecko. Learn all about their scale shedding secrets in the blog below: https://t.co/iWWCyaOcRq.
Today in collab w @okstate@AMNH@USDA and others we release a chrom-length assembly for the threatened American burying beetle, the largest beetle in N.America. Check out blog post by @srhittson. Carrion!

The last thylacine died on Sep 7 1936. 60y later National Threatened Species Day was established to spotlight Aussi species facing peril. In observation, we
share assembly for Kyloring, parrot prioritized for recovery. W @PerthZoo@uwanews@Dr_Parwinder:

Excited to share our new paper @NatureComms.

Single-nucleosome imaging reveals that condensins act as molecular crosslinkers, locally constraining nucleosomes to organize mitotic chromosomes. Nucleosome-nucleosome interactions constrain whole chromosomes.
[NEW] A veritable stampede of researchers banded together to shoulder a truly mammoth task that takes #epigenetics pre-historic!
Using PaleoHi-C, they've described the 3D genome architecture of preserved cells from 52,000-year-old animal skin! 🦣https://t.co/dAjmf6jQrJ
I updated our webpage for openings at our #CDlab:

So feel free to apply if you are an ambitious young scientist interested in doing a postdoc (or PhD) in our biophysics lab!
RT=nice!
Woolly mammoth DNA in an exceptional state of preservation has been obtained from 52,000-year-old freeze-dried 'jerky'. It’s even possible to reconstruct the 3D structure of the chromosomes, which may help efforts to resurrect the species. https://t.co/GXoKrrwtj6
