New preprint describing collaborative work with Rozario and Ye Labs to assemble and annotate the genome of the rat tapeworm: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Assembly of a high-quality reference genome for the rat tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta
The rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta , is an important laboratory model for uncovering molecular processes that underly the success of tapeworms as parasites. Despite its importance, a high-quality ...

Transposable element enthusiasts at #Evol2025, please come by posters I12 on 6/22 and E17 on 6/23 to chat about horizontal transfer of Ty elements in yeast and oliverlevine.bsky.social's new method to predict TE insertions in pangenomes.
Very grateful to be able continue a very fruitful collaboration with David Garfinkel’s Lab on how new transposon control mechanisms evolve in the genus Saccharomcyes.
Grant success to continue yeast Ty collaboration with Garfinkel Lab
The Bergman Lab received very good news that our NIH R01 on the “Evolution of Retrotransposon Control Mechanisms” was recently awarded. This project will allow us to continue our very fruitful collabo...
