Structural variation makes an important contribution to genetic diversity. An integrated analysis of long-read and short-read sequencing data created an expanded database of structural variation in canines. Several structural variants, including multiple mobile element insertions, have frequency profiles across major clades of modern dog breeds consistent with selection.
Schall & @jeffreymkidd.bsky.social characterized structural variation in dogs using a combination of long- and short-read data and genome assemblies. Several SVs have frequency profiles across breeds consistent with selection.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Several NIGMS applications that were supposed to be decided upon in Feb. appear to have the new council date of 05/22/2025, so maybe a good sign???
