playing with a figure for a pangenome paper. left, a random 500kb of the maize genome, with insertions above and deletions below the reference. insertions square-root scaled. right, a random 50kb segment with insertions shown at scale. the maize genome is a mess, folks!

I am thrilled to share our pre-print for CBS-tools: a k-mer based analysis that utilizes whole-genome sequencing of a few sex-identified isolates to guide users from the discovery of the heterogametic sex through identifying the sex-determination region www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I've complained on here a few times about synteny plots that are harder to read than they need to be. I decided it was time to actaully do something about it: introducing SynTangle, a tool for untangling whole-genome synteny plots github.com/Hanliconius/... 1/

Last time there was a Connecticut Warbler in Pelham Bay Park I forgot to put a memory card in my camera. I had good luck with a cooperative bird and a functioning camera this time #bronx 🪶
