Comparative Genomics Reveals Multipartite Genomes Undergoing Loss in the Fungal Endosymbiotic Genus Mycetohabitans

Abstract. Endosymbiotic bacteria extensively impact phenotypes of their eukaryotic hosts, while experiencing dramatic changes to their own genome as they b

Going through Samuel Horsfield's presentation on pangenome graphs in comparative genomics, courtesy of EMBL.

Fascinating tidbit on history of alignment based sequence graph - it goes all the way back to 1989 (Hein), era of Apple IIs and IBM PS/2s. Great talk!

Oat’s genetic diversity decoded

Researchers at TUM have decoded the genomes of 33 oat lines. This provides leverage for breeding more climate resilient plants.

I got a shoutout during an EMBL lecture presentation on indexing pangenomes. I have to admit, it made my day 😄

The whole series is fantastic so far, the particular talk on indexing can be found below with slides and video:

Serious #bioinformatics question!

I am testing #pangenome alignment & calling w/ deepvaraint.

The pangenome fasta labels chromosomes with GRCh38#0#chr{0-9}.

While it is annoying that the pangenome ignored chrM, this chr labeling makes it difficult to use any other programs that rely on chr{0-9} for the chr label in the bed or vcf files.

Is it reasonable to relabel the chr using samtools or will it break the pangenome file info?

Delighted to share our latest scientific article (https://doi.org/10.1080/21505594.2025.2504658) about #comparativegenomics of #Salmonella enterica serovars Paratyphi A, Typhi and Typhimurium reveals distinct profiles of their #pangenome, mobile genetic elements, #antimicrobialresistance and defense systems repertoire.

A great collaboration with Charles Coluzzi, Hélène Chiapello and Ohad Gal-Mor !
