Our policy brief with the #DSIScientificNetwork is out! Geographical origin info boosts transparency, recognition, and data sharing. 🌍 Yet, it's a limited #BenefitSharing indicator as it excludes diverse #DSI sources. #GBF #Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity 🔎 https://t.co/GHMLxHrVSJ

A really interesting comparative analysis visualization tool for comparisons of genome assemblies. Looking forward to trying it. @m_rouard
Are you sequencing genomes? Do you want to compare the chromosomes of two or more species?🧬 I recently released the ODP software package to make scalable comparative genomics easier. Example plots below.📊 1/🧵 paper: https://t.co/bSf0hwJHwU github: https://t.co/9lBcNcmhj4

Musa schizocarpa in 🇵🇬 (bunch up side down here). Fruits self-peel when ready. They give a lot of poetry to the bunch look. Bats and birds can easily feed on exposed 🍌 and then spread seeds 💩. It is one of the missing ancestors of our bananas 👉 https://t.co/KXpl9ih0rj

This beauty is my favorite wild🍌: Musa schizocarpa. Sequences says it's an unsuspected, major ancestor of cultivated bananas. No more doubts: our favorite fruit’s early origins are in New Guinea! 🍌🇵🇬🇮🇩! Paper here: https://t.co/KXpl9ihygR
