We find that 12 of the 13 WASHC1 paralogues are likely to be pseudogenes, and that the only functional WASHC1 gene is on chromosome 20, not on chromosome 9 as was previously thought.

This goes some way to explaining why so little is known about this vital gene, an integral part of the WASH complex.

Congrats!! 👏👏 👏 This is an important piece demonstrating paralogous genes newly found in T2T-CHM13 better represents the coding form while the version in hg38 that was conceived as protein coding turned out to be a pseudogene. Also supported by the #HPRC assemblies. #T2Tgenomes

Last week we also released updated T2T assemblies for the autosomes as well! Species include: chimp, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan, and siamang gibbon. These are making their way to GenBank, but see here for a preview: github.com/marbl/Primates Lots more analyses to come!
