How to represent genomes in 3D?

In this paper (and video), we propose Geometric Diagrams of Genomes (GDG)—a visual grammar that aims at emulating the effect ribbon diagrams (Richardson et al 1981) had in protein structural biology. Time will tell.😅

By the end of 2024, EBP-affiliated projects had publicly released 2'000 high-quality #genome assemblies 🧬, representing more than 500 eukaryotic families. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci... #biodiversity #genomics

I spy a Goshawk -if I’m not mistaken- (Accipiter gentilis) chillin’ in the Botanical, what a beauty. Genome nicely assembled & curated by the colleagues from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler!

Nanopore's getting accurate, but

1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies?
2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them?

Assessing the genetic diversity of the shamrock, Trifolium dubium, across Ireland - Biodiversity Genomics Europe Case study Assessing the genetic diversity of the shamrock, Trifolium dubium, across Ireland In 2023, a high-quality reference genome for Trifolium dubium, widely recognized as the shamrock, was gener...

New #BGE case study!

Researchers at UCD are using the #genome for Trifolium dubium to study its evolutionary history and beneficial traits,
which could enhance breeding programs for agriculturally important #clover species.
