Excited to share that our MYC mutagenesis paper is now online at @CellCellPress! Free access link through Dec 24 authors.elsevier.com/a/1o316…. Special thanks to our handling editor Jude @JudeNicho and the reviewers for their support and feedback throughout the process!
Does the noncoding genome actually carry more genetic information than coding seqs? Motivated by this question we mutated every bp in the 10kb MYC locus. Results are even more exciting: Decoding the MYC locus reveals a druggable ultraconserved RNA element biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Excited to share that our work is now published in Cell @CellCellPress !
We present T2T-MMU8v2.0, a complete and near-perfect rhesus macaque reference genome, and uncover complex, previously unresolved subtelomeric satellite architectures.

Thrilled to share that our latest work is out today in Cell Genomics! 🎉🦒
In this work, we present the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) diploid giraffe genome, assembled using Verkko and Verkko-Fillet, our new Python package for genome graph curation and assembly workflows.

I am happy that, together with @JosipaLipovac, I had the opportunity to contribute to the T2T consortium's effort, led by @aphillippy and Justin Zook, to assemble a complete diploid human genome, published in @CellCellPress today. I hope that our work on the Indian reference genome will be published soon.

For me, this journey into genome assembly started in 2012, when I saw the first generation of long-read sequencing, the @PacBio RSII, at @astar_gis. A month later, I returned to @fer_unizg , dedicated to helping these efforts. Later, I joined GIS to ramp up our efforts.
I have only one remaining dream in this field: automatic reconstruction of cancer genomes. I believe that by combining AI with classical algorithms, this is achievable in the next few years.
If you are interested in joining us and have a strong background in AI, contact me!

26 years after the first draft human genome sequence we have the first diploid complete human genome sequence @CellCellPress

Excited to introduce GoT-Multi, out at @CellGenomics: cell.com/cell-genomics/fullt…! Developed together with the single cell wizard @LGMartelotto, GoT-Multi is a next gen single cell multi-omics - multiplexed genotyping in transcriptomes compatible with FFPE samples.

I find it very sad that all the 'and enjoy a glass of champagne' at events has now been replaced by prosecco. They're not the same drink.
The problem with asking people to take short term pain for long term gain now, is that it's already long term pain. It's just a bit more added on to that. Need something concrete to look forward to in the near future I think.

At a recent conference @AthenaAktipis invited me to give a talk on the role of creativity in science. For those interested here are the illustrated slides in tweetorial format. The take home message: Creativity and science go hand in hand. (Thread 1 of 2)

We show that Human ribosomes have different rRNA sequences, predominantly indels. These include abundant variants such as GGC indels, which form different structures. We visualize variants in single cells and associate them with development and cancer.

Maybe the online appointment system will be better, because it'll let me get an appointment with whoever is best to see without having to wait on the phone.... Oh. Maybe not.

Just tried to order a new debit card on the website, which bounced me to a chatbot, who said call the number, who said download the app and do it there. Everything is like this now.
