Excited to share our PNAS paper on the genome evolution of an early-diverging #amphioxus, Asymmetron lucayanum! There is a long and twisty story behind this work, which also explains the username choice of the lab PI @iAmphioxus .😀 @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

6/n: Taken together, our findings illuminate the genome and gene evolution of amphixous and the cephalochordate subphylum that they represent, as well as provide valuable resources for understanding the early evolution of chordates and the origin of vertebrates.

7/n: This work would not be possible without the long-term support of our collaborators, namely Linda Z. Holland, Jr-Kai (Sky) Yu @JKSkyYu , & Sung-Jin Cho. Many thanks to everyone involved!

📢Glad to share our genome paper on an early-diverged cephalochordate species, Asymmetron lucayanum! By decoding & analyzing this genome in a comparative genomics framework, we know better now regarding the genome and gene evolution in cephalochordates. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Glad to see the copy-edited version of our VRPG paper formally published in the latest issue of @genomeresearch ! We developed VRPG as a novel visualization framework for intuitively exploring pangenome graphs in a linear-reference-projected context. genome.cshlp.org/content/35/…

📢🧬Proud to announce our 1st work on pangenome graphs is early online @genomeresearch! Here we developed an interpretative visualization framework for pangenome graphs named VRPG, which seamlessly bridges the graph and linear genomics world. genome.cshlp.org/content/ear… #pangenome

Many thanks to @Time_long_river for leading the development of VRPG. Built upon VRPG, we are currently working on new development and discoveries with #pangenome graphs. Stay tuned!
