Hey everyone! Check out the new DNA Zoo website with 50 new mammalian chromosome-length genome assemblies! Data freely available. Shoutout to @thednazoo team and @theaidenlab! Go to 'Methods' for 3D-DNA and Juicebox Assembly Tools links. Olga

Not all heroes wear capes, some stack pebbles. Check out genome of the western pebble-mound mouse defending the outback from his Furtress of Solitude, brought to you in collaboration with @renee_firman @uwanews and @DustRubenstein @Columbia: dnazoo.org/post/furtress-…

Put your armor down. New genome out now @thednazoo, built with George Eisenhoffer & team (@MDAndersonNews): the fish scaled gecko. Learn all about their scale shedding secrets in the blog below: dnazoo.org/post/scale-abl….

Today in collab w @okstate @AMNH @USDA and others we release a chrom-length assembly for the threatened American burying beetle, the largest beetle in N.America. Check out blog post by @srhittson. Carrion! dnazoo.org/post/unburying…

World: meet WOOL-E! 😊

🎁Happy holidays! Celebrate with WOOL-E 🦣🤖 - an @OpenAI custom-GPT & experiment in sci-comm trained by @raginiimahajan using our @CellCellPress paper t.3dg.io/cell! Ask WOOL-E for all things paleo3Dgenome👉 t.3dg.io/wool-e & explore 📖 t.3dg.io/woole-blog!

Check out the @NSF_BPRI docuseries, we are hoppertimistic you will find it locust and focused!

🦍Postdoc in Somatic Evolutionary Genomics🦍 Join my team @GeneticsCam on a pioneering project mapping somatic mutations across primates! 🌍Collaborate with experts @UCBerkeley & @sangerinstitute. 🔍Experience in genomics? Apply by Nov 16! Details: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48757/

The last thylacine died on Sep 7 1936. 60y later National Threatened Species Day was established to spotlight Aussi species facing peril. In observation, we share assembly for Kyloring, parrot prioritized for recovery. W @PerthZoo @uwanews @Dr_Parwinder: dnazoo.org/post/wing-of-c…

Excited to share our new paper @NatureComms. bit.ly/3WUkxbJ Single-nucleosome imaging reveals that condensins act as molecular crosslinkers, locally constraining nucleosomes to organize mitotic chromosomes. Nucleosome-nucleosome interactions constrain whole chromosomes.

[NEW] A veritable stampede of researchers banded together to shoulder a truly mammoth task that takes #epigenetics pre-historic! Using PaleoHi-C, they've described the 3D genome architecture of preserved cells from 52,000-year-old animal skin! 🦣bit.ly/3WwlIiJ

I updated our webpage for openings at our #CDlab: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ So feel free to apply if you are an ambitious young scientist interested in doing a postdoc (or PhD) in our biophysics lab! RT=nice!

Woolly mammoth DNA in an exceptional state of preservation has been obtained from 52,000-year-old freeze-dried 'jerky'. It’s even possible to reconstruct the 3D structure of the chromosomes, which may help efforts to resurrect the species. #Echobox=1721558386" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/243921…

@erezaterez @coregenomics @jrotwitguez @cynthi_PE Ready to make it the next big project: please send along a _very_ large and tasty sample...

@coregenomics @jrotwitguez I would be extremely surprised if you cannot assemble Jamon serrano de novo from a sample; we have done this sort of thing many times. The big question is loop structure; that seems more sensitive to recipe & preparation @cynthi_pe @odudcha

Beef jerky is like this. So is the glass in your window. And glass transition is great for ancient DNA: the glass – or the woolly mammoth jerky - works like a time capsule for the geometry of biomolecules at the nanometer scale! (12/18)

@jrotwitguez @CellCellPress So fun! And loved to see Dimos verbally abusing a piece of dehydrated beef to test its genome integrity!

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽

On the frozen tundra of Siberia some 50,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth met its end under mysterious circumstances go.nature.com/3WnZ0ZY

A new paper describes the discovery of fossil chromosomes—coiled-up strands of DNA millions of base pairs long—inside the cells of mammoths that died tens of thousands of years ago econ.st/3zzLqtz 👇
