Contrasting signatures of genomic divergence during sympatric speciation. Published: October, 2020 Abstract:
The transition from 'well-marked varieties' of a single species into 'well-defined species'-especially in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow (sympatric speciation)-has puzzled evolutionary biologists ever since Darwin. Gene flow count... Read more »
Genome structure and content of the rice root-knot nematode (). Published: October, 2020 Abstract:

Repeat expansions confer WRN dependence in microsatellite-unstablecancers. Published: October, 2020 Abstract:
The RecQ DNA helicase WRN is a synthetic lethal target for cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI), a form of genetic hypermutability that arises from impaired mismatch repair. Depletion of WRN induces widespread DNA double-strand break... Read more »
Sizing, stabilising, and cloning repeat-expansions for gene targeting constructs. Published: July, 2020 Abstract:
Aberrant microsatellite repeat-expansions at specific loci within the human genome cause several distinct, heritable, and predominantly neurological, disorders. Creating models for these diseases poses a challenge, due to the instability of such r... Read more »
Nanopore Sequencing and Its Clinical Applications. Published: January, 2020 Abstract:
Nanopore sequencing is a method for determining the order and modifications of DNA/RNA nucleotides by detecting the electric current variations when DNA/RNA oligonucleotides pass through the nanometer-sized hole (nanopore). Nanopore-based DNA... Read more »
Genomic and phenotypic analyses of six offspring of a genome-edited hornless bull. Published: October, 2019 Abstract:
Genome editing followed by reproductive cloning was previously used to produce two hornless dairy bulls. We crossed one genome-edited dairy bull, homozygous for the dominant P Celtic POLLED allele, with horned cows (pp) and obtained six heterozygo... Read more »
A chromosome-scale genome assembly of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Published: June, 2019 Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Accurate and complete reference genome assemblies are fundamental for biological research. Cucumber is an important vegetable crop and model system for sex determination and vascular biology. Low-coverage Sanger sequences and high-cove... Read more »
The alternative reality of plant mitochondrial DNA Published: March, 2019 Abstract:
Plant mitochondrial genomes are usually assembled and displayed as circular maps based on the widely-held assumption that circular genome molecules are the primary form of mitochondrial DNA, despite evidence to the contrary. Many plant mitochondri... Read more »
Characterizing the Major Structural Variant Alleles of the Human Genome. Published: January, 2019 Abstract:
In order to provide a comprehensive resource for human structural variants (SVs), we generated long-read sequence data and analyzed SVs for fifteen human genomes. We sequence resolved 99,604 insertions, deletions, and inversions including 2,238 (1... Read more »
Improved reference genome of Aedes aegypti informs arbovirus vector control. Published: November, 2018 Abstract:
Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infect more than 400 million people each year with dangerous viral pathogens including dengue, yellow fever, Zika and chikungunya. Progress in understanding the biology of mosquitoes and developing the tools to... Read more »

The Genomic Basis of Color Pattern Polymorphism in the Harlequin Ladybird. Published: October, 2018 Abstract:
Many animal species comprise discrete phenotypic forms. A common example in natural populations of insects is the occurrence of different color patterns, which has motivated a rich body of ecological and genetic research [1-6]. The occurrence of d... Read more »
Long-read sequence capture of the hemoglobin gene clusters across gadid species. Published: October, 2018 Abstract:
Combining high-throughput sequencing with targeted sequence capture has become an attractive tool to study specific genomic regions of interest. Most studies have so far focused on the exome using short-read technology. These approaches are not de... Read more »
Genomic Structural Variations Within Five Continental Populations of . Published: October, 2018 Abstract:
Chromosomal structural variations (SV) including insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations occur within the genome and can have a significant effect on organismal phenotype. Some of these effects are caused by structural variations con... Read more »
