I had the privilege to meet artist Mary Griffiths. Mary got inspired by Hi-C maps and over zooms we spoke about Hi-C maps, patterns and drawings. Mary’s Hi-C inspired art has been exhibited eg the Royal Academy. We wrote this piece about this art-science collaboration

Deutsches Wort des Tages: Sehnsucht
By mapping the meanings of the words used to communicate emotions across more than one-third of the planet’s spoken languages, a study in Science found that there is significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. #ScienceMagArchives https://scim.ag/4pQGxBB

How to represent genomes in 3D?
In this paper (and video), we propose Geometric Diagrams of Genomes (GDG)—a visual grammar that aims at emulating the effect ribbon diagrams (Richardson et al 1981) had in protein structural biology. Time will tell.😅

By the end of 2024, EBP-affiliated projects had publicly released 2'000 high-quality #genome assemblies 🧬, representing more than 500 eukaryotic families. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci... #biodiversity #genomics
I spy a Goshawk -if I’m not mistaken- (Accipiter gentilis) chillin’ in the Botanical, what a beauty. Genome nicely assembled & curated by the colleagues from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler!
Nanopore's getting accurate, but
1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies?
2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them?

New #BGE case study!
Researchers at UCD are using the #genome for Trifolium dubium to study its evolutionary history and beneficial traits,
which could enhance breeding programs for agriculturally important #clover species.
