Thank you Scott! GIGA has been a blast! WHAT a conference! Its the wonderland for many of us working on (marine) invertebrate genomics! #GIGA2026 @ebpgenome.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social #DarwinTreeOfLife

After a blast at #SMBE2026, soon off to #GIGA2026 to speak on our Atlas of Mollusca Genomes. A unprecedented dataset of high-quality molluscan genomes and a wonderful group of collaborators together to unravel genomic features and mechanisms of the second largest animal phyla. Hope to see you there!

Evolution of genomes drives me. So does social justice. Had a blast speaking on LINE1s creating novelty in sloths genomes and Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Challenges to sequence all life on Earth with and for the benefit of all at #SMBE2026 Paper at: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We don't always get it right, but building a more equitable and inclusive global biodiversity genomics community is work worth doing. The Earth BioGenome Project JEDI Committee is recruiting new members. Join us: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It was fun! Talked about all the experience we have at the Tree of Life as we produce and release thousands of genomes! #sangerInstitute #TreeOfLife www.sanger.ac.uk/programme/tr...

Tree of LifeWe generate and use high-quality genome sequences to explore the evolution of life, provide the raw materials for new biotechnology and deliver tools for biodiversity monitoring and conservation.www.sanger.ac.uk

Preprint Alert! 🦥 We produced complete genomes for 2 Xenarthra and placed them in a mammalian comparative framework. We found that Xenarthra harbour the largest number of retrocopies in mammals! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fantastic and elegant! By the amazing @charlottewright.bsky.social et al!

PhD opportunity in Bodø! You’ll sequence genomes from invasive and non-invasive slug (A. vulgaris) populations to uncover the molecular basis of invasion dynamics. Supervised by Prof. Les Noble & co-supervisor by me. Fully funded, cutting-edge science, great team. Apply by Sept 21: shorturl.at/zJT06

Now out! Paper led by @philmor1964.bsky.social and the The Cetacean Genomes Project. An effort by many, we present 13 new, high-quality reference genomes for cetaceans 🐬🐋 following @vertebrategenomes.bsky.social and @ebpgenome.bsky.social standards for a group that is very hard to sample from.
