Snippet: HERVs are “non-coding” sequences comprising of genetic material that originated from the infection of germ cells with ancient retroviruses during evolution, which now constitute approximately 8% of the human genome7,8,9. After the initial infections took place, these sequences inserted in the genome and multiplied...
I'm super excited that our #MolluscGenomics meeting is finally happening next week! Looking forward to welcoming people to #UNamur and online 🐌🦪🐙🐚#mollusc#genomics

Just read this, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2317240121, that extraordinary high rate of mtDNA evolution in some plants is associated low mtDNA copy number. Lower Ne is the obvious explanation - but the authors instead put fwd homologous recombination, because it is less effective in low copy number environments. More complicated explanation, with no direct evidence? Thoughts? #genomics#mtDNA#mitochondria#plastid#plants
Neil Ward tells us about the role that genomics can play in conserving biodiversity and how innovative technologies such as HiFi sequencing are helping biodiversity projects.

Wow, what this company did to these families is so terrible! And the story reflects so horribly on everyone involved in genetics, prenatal testing, private labs, etc.
I'm grateful for people like the ex-employees who were willing to speak up, and also for CBC for doing this kind of investigation.
Using multiple complementary forms of knowledge, we provide a scenario for #Blackfoot population history that fits with #oraltradition and provides a plausible model for the..peopling of the #Americas" by Dorothy First Rider et al. #Genomics
Abstract: Mutually beneficial partnerships between genomics researchers and North American Indigenous Nations are rare yet becoming more common. Here, we present one such partnership that provides insight into the peopling of the Americas and furnishes another line of evidence that can be used to further treaty and Indigenous...
“Even with such a huge amount of genome data, one branch of the bird family tree remains a mystery. Our analysis could not confidently determine the relationships of one of the orphans, the hoatzin. Found in South America, the hoatzin is a highly distinctive bird and the sole survivor of its lineage.”
The Neuroscience department at SISSA is hiring! We are looking for candidates for multiple assistant professor (tenure track) openings across a broad spectrum of topics in neuroscience (molecular, cellular, circuit, systems, cognitive and computational). SISSA is an international school in Trieste, Italy, promoting basic and applied research in Neuroscience, Mathematics and Physics and dedicated to the training of PhD students.
