Happy to see our fav cichlid Astatotilapia latifasciata with B chromosome featuring the cover of @heredityjournal.bsky.social

Collaboration during my PhD -long time ago 🐟🧬Genome assembly of Astatotilapia latifasciata uncovers B chromosome–linked chromatin reorganization doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Update to #software #Mongrail 2.0: just published in @heredityjournal.bsky.social. Useful for detection of recent #hybridization from #genomic data.

This collaboration with Robin Waples and Oystein Flagstad started as a brainfart, but quickly grew into a fully fledged paper. I'm glad it found a place in Heredity, the journal of the Genetics Society @heredityjournal.bsky.social @gensocuk.bsky.social
