@thamala.bsky.social absolutely smashed this one. This one was an absolute pleasure full of great discovery!
Our paper looking at the impact of whole-genome duplications (or polyploidy) on the evolution of genomic structural variants is now published! With @leviyant.bsky.social and others.
Impact of whole-genome duplications on structural variant evolution in Cochlearia - Nature Communications
Cochlearia is an evolutionarily dynamic genus with different base chromosome numbers and ploidal levels. Here, the authors construct a graph-based pangenome for Cochlearia and reveal that whole-g...

Sharing work close to my heart, long in gestation: we introduce Cochlearia, in its many polyploidy events. Here we discover signal of adaptation of the kinetochore to the challenging new polyploid state. With @sianbray.bsky.social @thamala.bsky.social and others. #evobio #polyploid

Our new paper is up on bioRxiv! We study how whole-genome duplications influence structural variant evolution in a natural diploid—autopolyploid system. With @leviyant.bsky.social and others.
Check it out if you like polyploidy, SVs, long-read sequencing, or pangenomes. #evobio
