Conservation genomics and assisted introgression is saving the American chestnut from extermination by invasive non-native pathogens. #consgen
Awesome study!
Thought exactly the same when I read the title of the post

Neat job alert 🧬🐺🦌
Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks is hiring a wildlife conservation geneticist based in Missoula, MT. The position is joint with @umontana.bsky.social, working with Dr. Ryan Kovach on lots of neat wildlife #consgen projects. Reach out to Ryan with questions.
pangenome 'expansion' curves for cotton and soybean
Determining presence-absence variation (PAV) across reference genomes is a major goal of pangenome analysis. It turns out that A LOT of gene PAV is due to methodological artifacts.
We explore the causes of this in soybean and cotton datasets in our recent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Aah ok. But just as reminder, the original post was between NovaseqX and Novaseq6000 ☺️
I believe both technologies use a two colour chemistry, and they both tend to have an increase in Poly-G
Let me know if you manage, having struggles myself...
Help! Is anyone else finding batch effects between whole genome sequences generated with Illumina NovaSeq6000 vs NovaSeqX?
Any suggestions or solutions would be hugely appreciated! 🙏

Downsize reads depth, and also use the option in AGSD to make PCA instead of using PCAngsd
Yup, I have found it. I am now inspecting bamqc in my different batches. I have a few things considered: poly-G removal with improved code in fastP (done but does not remove the batch effect)
Still ongoing. I have however encountered a big issue in the form of batch effects and have suffered some drawbacks from poor tissue quality. Bioinformatic corrections exist, but so many headaches could be afforded with good standard fieldwork for genetic work

#consgen authority Fred Allendorf cries out in despair for American science in the Missoulian newspaper. It’s terrifying to watch this destruction unfold day by day. My heart goes out to my American colleagues and friends. Stay strong and fight.
