please share this postdoc job alert! come join the budding Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative as a postdoc or senior postdoc at @sangerinstitute.bsky.social working closely with @arnausebe.bsky.social and me to make progress on what we cover in this paper www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Are you interested in biodiversity genomics? Fantastic opportunity to join us as a Group Leader at the Tree of Life Programme, @sangerinstitute.bsky.social.

final week to apply for @sangerinstitute.bsky.social PhD programme (due Nov 27th) -- free to apply, open to anyone anywhere, and a superb training opportunity for students interested in genomic approaches applied to biodiversity, pathogens, vectors, and of course us pesky humans.
Our paper Genomic diversity of the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus was published in Science today! It features inversions, selection in action, museum specimens and putative new ecotypes. doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Struggling to find the tiny microchromosomes in draft bird genome assemblies?

Do you use Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) genomes for your work or grant applications? If so, can you please fill out this form? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... We are gathering info on how DToL genomes are used. It will help us raise money to continue producing publicly available high-quality genomes.
We're also seeking a Principal Computer Scientist - someone to lead on algorithm and method development for genome assembly - so many challenges still remain from polyploids, to very large genomes, and complex symbiotic mixtures (tinyurl.com/tola-princip...). Come join us!
There are two senior/bioinformatician roles to work on genome assembly, data analysis and the development of methods and software to support assembling genomes across diverse taxa from the Tree of Life (tinyurl.com/tola-bioinf2...).
We have three positions open in the Tree of Life Assembly team at Sanger Institute Tree of Life Programme working on biodiversity genome assembly for Darwin Tree of Life, ERGA, VGP, Earth Biogenome Projects...
We are excited to release v1.0 of our HG002 genome benchmark today! Our goal with the Q100 project is to create a complete and perfectly accurate representation of the diploid HG002 genome to serve as a replacement for current variant-based benchmarks. More info here: github.com/marbl/HG002
