Structural Variants in Bovine Populations

Tuan Viet Nguyen, a research scientist from Agriculture Victoria in Australia, presented at London Calling 2023 on “Discovering the missing variation: a long-read sequencing study into the structural variation in two dairy breeds.” They defined structural variants (SVs) as larger than 50 bps and can be deletions, duplications, and inversions. Structural variants, Nguyen noted, are […]

Genome Assemblies for Chromosomal Evolution Analyses of Marsupials

Patrick G.S. Grady from the University of Connecticut presented at London Calling 2023 a session entitled: “Unraveling chromosomal evolution in marsupials: comparative genomics and methylomics with telomere-to-telomere precision.” Grady spoke about the use of marsupials as a model. They have pentapedal locomotion, unique reproduction, and dynamic forms of cancer. Their genome scan be studied with […]

A Unique Approach to Find Fantastic Methanotrophs

Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 session entitled “Fantastic methanotrophs and where to find them” by Kalinka Sand Knudsen from Aaborg University in Denmark. Knudsen spoke about how methane retains heat and reducing emissions is critical. Knudsen is interested in methane-consuming bacteria that can survive on elevated concentrations of methane and some can oxidize […]
