Congrats to @shchurch.bsky.social and this intl collaborative group on the man-o’-war genome/pop gen study! The original genome assembly was quite an undertaking and I’m glad to see it finished up and out in the world. We threw every tech we could at it at the time. Long read, linked reads, Hi-C
Excited to share our study on sailing siphonophores, AKA bluebottles or man-o'-war! 🌊 we received hundreds of samples from scientists around the world, part of a huge effort to sequence genomes and test for multiple species 🧬 out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 🦑🧪📌
