If you missed our cracking Cassyni webinar yesterday with Arthur Georges and Qiye Li talking about reptile sex-determination and CycloneSeq, the Q&A was a treat as we had many of the worlds top sex chromosome researchers join the discussion.

You can watch it archived here (and ask it questions using Cassyni's clever AI tech) https://cassyni.com/events/SWHReTL1j8YPEvxnLsyKYq

Double Dragon Genomes Helping Explain Sex Determination of Reptiles. Two almost complete and gapless genomes of the sex-changing central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) have just been published back-to-back in GigaScience to help tackle the mystery of reptile sex determination. Alongside a new gapless rice genome showcasing new MGI CycloneSeq nanopore sequencing technologies ability to complete animal and plant genomes.
