You told us connection matters, and at #Dros27, great conversations are just steps away (10 minutes max from the venue). Grab a meal at @RdgTerminalMkt, stroll to Philadelphia City Hall, or connect over coffee at local favorites.
Philly locals—where should attendees go next?

New research in #G3journal leverages ultra-long @Nanopore #sequencing to identify structural variants. 🧬
@PetrovADmitri and the team also present new high-coverage (>100x) long-read assemblies for #Drosophila inbred lines. 🪰

What determines sperm length?
A new report in #GENETICS uses primordial germ cell (PGC) xenotransplantation to show cell-autonomous #germline modifications that drive sperm length diversity in #Drosophila. 🪰

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT in #G3journal
The first genome assembly for Nucifraga colombiana—a North American seed predator, aka Clark’s Nutcracker, that is highly reliant on pine nuts—will aid comparative and conservation genomics research.

Primocane-fruiting is why we can avail fresh blackberries outside the traditional harvest season and in warmer climates.
A #GWAS analysis in #GENETICS identifies a single genomic region with strong association to primocane-fruiting.
