centromeres, we build 'em. chromosomes, we break 'em. repetitive DNA's not junk to us. we're basic researchers answering fundamental questions in human biology.

Centromeres have been difficult to analyze because they comprise highly repeated DNA. Long-read sequencing has made it possible to study their structure and evolution. Read more in this Perspective by Steven Henikoff @fredhutch @genomeresearch ow.ly/FSKI30sg79G #T2T

Sad to hear of the passing of Haig Kazazian, a giant in the field of human genetics. After identifying a LINE1 insertion causing hemophilia, his lab trail-blazed 30 yrs of key discoveries on human transposons. An amazing career he narrated here:

What happens when DNA-loop-extruding SMCs collide with one another in a living cell?
Our article on SMC complexes bypassing one another in vivo is out @NatureSMB, in
a wonderful collaboration with Xindan Wang, @leonidmirny, Warren Ren and @Xciencepig. rdcu.be/cpVDg
