🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in Nature! 🧬
Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct β€” even opposite β€” effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss.

This is worth looking at. Trying some genomes we have assembled with earlier versions of hifiasm, hifiasm plus herro and then this new version of hifiasm. The early assembly results suggest that now hifiasm alone is equivalent to what we got with herro but with less compute!
