New paper @NatureGenet https://t.co/loAvk4risg Our most recent thinking on HYP effectors involves programmed shuffling of the parasite genome. This prompted us to review how and when organisms edit their own genomes In so doing, Vincent made two important discoveries... (1/3)

New paper alert! We just published a chromosome-scale genome (57 Mb, 16 chromosomes) of Meloidogyne hapla. A devastating plant pathogen. But this is not just another genome. ๐Ÿงต -NO CANONICAL TELOMERES. Instead, a novel 16-mer tandem repeat at chromosome ends. A new mechanism
