First up is @adaigle.bsky.social's preprint where we use Drosophila genomes that have been sequenced with both short and long reads to train a machine learning method to more accurately detect and genotype transposable element insertions: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Leveraging long-read assemblies and machine learning to enhance short-read transposable element detection and genotyping
Transposable elements (TEs) are parasitic genomic elements that are ubiquitous across the tree of life and play a crucial role in genome evolution. Advances in long-read sequencing have allowed highly...

All the credit for this discovery goes to postdoc @giuliapasquesi.bsky.social , who first noticed the isoform in her 2020 Lockdown Sideproject (tm). Her perseverance, creativity, and talent made this study possible and it was an honor to be a part of it. Watch out for her--she's on the job market! 😉
