This is me trying out Blusky! I am interested in #viruses #genomes #Drosophila #evolution and #popgen. Here is a pretty picture of some flies from the UK, as an attention-grabber (visit obbard.bio.ed.ac.uk/photo… for more!)

❄️🧬 Can we generate high-quality reference genomes without the cold chain? A new study suggests the answer is yes. DNA preserved at room temperature for up to one week produced chromosome-scale reference genomes. 📖 tinyurl.com/3zwtj9ka #Genomes @gigascience.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Close-up photograph of a mosquito perched on a green blade of grass against a dark background. White text at the top reads, "Breaking the Cold Chain." Additional text states, "Room-temperature preservation enables chromosome-scale reference genomes." "GigaScience 2026" appears in the lower-right corner.

Three researchers collect biological samples in a forest. One researcher kneels while holding a collection tube beside an insulated cooler, and two others stand nearby preparing samples. A large arrow points to the cooler. Text explains that high-quality reference genomes traditionally require specimens to remain frozen from collection through DNA extraction, highlighting the challenge of maintaining the cold chain during fieldwork.

A genome-based phylogeny for Mollusca is concordant with fossils and morphology

Extreme morphological disparity within Mollusca has long confounded efforts to reconstruct a stable backbone phylogeny for the phylum. Familiar molluscan groups—gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods—e...

This was a historic moment. The largest convening of #Indigenous geneticists, data scientists, physicians to include national leaders at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's #science think tank, the Banbury Institute @cshlbanbury.bsky.social, to discuss Indigenous reference #genomes and implications:

Banbury Center @cshlbanbury.bsky.social

Thank you to participants of "An 'Indigenous Reference Genome': Ethical, Cultural, Policy, and Governance Considerations" for three days of thoughtful discussions, led by the incredible @kstsosie.bsky.social View the agenda here: bit.ly/IRG-24

Group of 26 participants on the patio outside the conference center.
