I'm presenting a poster this afternoon at the Biology of Genomes #BoG25 - come by #254 in Biondi Hall if you wanna learn more about Non-B DNA motifs in great ape T2T genomes!
5. The satellite SST1, which is a breakpoint in #Robertsonian translocations, is enriched in recombinogenic G4 motifs and Z-DNA.
6. Non-B DNA display species- and chromosome-specific trends at #centromeres.
3. G4s and Z-DNA are enriched at #promoters and #enhancers, as well as at origins of replication.
4. #Repetitive sequences carry more non-B DNA motifs than non-repetitive sequences.
1. Non-B forming sequence motifs are overrepresented at the newly added to #T2T genome regions for the autosomes, #X and #Y chromosomes.
2. Non-B DNA motif types have a high density on the short arms of #acrocentric chromosomes.
My first first-author Post Doc paper together with Kateryna Makova just got published in the latest issue of Nucleic Acids Research: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Nature research paper: Complete sequencing of ape genomes

🚨 New preprint!
We analyzed 39 bird genomes—including 3 Mauritian species that bounced back from the brink of extinction—to explore genomic erosion in a comparative framework.

A phylogeny of the 7 ape genomes that have now been completed from "T2T", with Homer Simpson representing mankind.
A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...
My first PostDoc paper turned out to be this one: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (a small contribution to this massive effort - but glad to be part of it!)
Very cool work and beautiful cover by my PhD brother @jesperboman.bsky.social 😍
Excellent scheduling according to me! ☕🍽️☕
@tapani-hopkins.bsky.social @dvlrnr.bsky.social Uppdatering: Man kan maila till Alfred Kihlberg på Studjefrämjandet för att anmäla sig utan personnummer! (hans kontaktuppgifter ska finnas på anmälningssidan)

📣 New PhD position on flycatchers with @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social — spread the word!
Combine bioinformatics, long-term datasets and field work to explore climate adaptation and speciation in the lovely flycatchers. Join us in Uppsala, Sweden! Apply by Mar 18: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...
#ecoevojob
Jag ska prata med organisatören på måndag, ska fråga då!
Oj det visste jag inte! Men det kan vara så att Studiefrämjandet behöver det för att få ersättning...
I don't know how many Swedish speaking contacts I reach here, but if anyone is interested in wolfs and conservation genomics, I'll give a popular science evening lecture about it next Thursday! That is European evening time. In Swedish..🇸🇪 www.studieframjandet.se/uppsala-lan/...
Really cool work by @jesperboman.bsky.social et al!
Please spread! The newly established CF Genomics at UOL is re-advertising a position for a bioinformatician uol.de/en/job/bioin...
Lots of cool findings, especially the relation between non-B DNA motifs and centromeres/satellite repeats!
Kateryna Makova and I have a new preprint out on non-canonical DNA in human and ape T2T genomes: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
