Now published in Cell! We found that ~15% of SNPs from divergent refs did not liftover as SNPs in the gray fox ref—half mapped to monomorphic sites, half failed to map. Co-authored with Matthew Genchev, @elliecat.bsky.social, and @jazlynmooney.bsky.social

Excited to share that my first News & Views is out in @natgenet.nature.com!
Together with Yuling Yue and @peterszovenyi.bsky.social, we highlight a landmark study presenting 100+ bryophyte genome assemblies and what they reveal about plant evolution.

The dawn of bryophyte genomics is here - Nature Genetics
Bryophytes are a widespread group of land plants that occupy nearly all biomes, yet their genetics and evolutionary history have long remained underexplored. Now, a study that generates extensive geno...

👋 Hi Bluesky!
As a first post, I'm happy to share our new paper exploring what happens to sex chromosomes when a species transitions from separate sexes to cosexuality, using the liverwort Marchantia quadrata 🧬
Proud to share first authorship with Yukiko Yasui, with Péter Szövényi as senior author.

Insights into convergent evolution of cosexuality in liverworts from the Marchantia quadrata genome
Insights into convergent evolution of cosexuality in liverworts from the Marchantia quadrata genome
Potente et al. show that in the liverwort M. quadrata, the evolution of cosexuality involves the retention of the male (V) sex chromosome and the complete loss of the female (U) sex chromosome. This pattern parallels observations in another species, suggesting that transitions to cosexuality may be predictable in liverworts.
