If you saw me talk at PEQG or PAG and want to try out a new method for assembling sex chromosomes, our paper and pipeline are live! Biggest shoutout to @scarey.bsky.social for pioneering this method and happy to have played a part in its application and deployment!

Identifying, phasing, and structurally annotating sex chromosomes for genome assemblies using CBS-tools https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.09.23.753885v1

I am thrilled to share our pre-print for CBS-tools: a k-mer based analysis that utilizes whole-genome sequencing of a few sex-identified isolates to guide users from the discovery of the heterogametic sex through identifying the sex-determination region www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Identifying, phasing, and structurally annotating sex chromosomes for genome assemblies using CBS-tools

A complete reference genome for species with chromosomally-determined separate sexes should contain scaffolds for all sex chromosome homologs. However, sex chromosomes present distinct computational c...

Hi Bluesky! I'm going to use my first posts to tell you about some really exciting updates. I'm delighted to share that our manuscript on the Amborella sex chromosomes was published last month! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's been a busy year! The second thing I'd like to share is our is our pre-print on the evolution of the exquisitely cool Cannabaceae sex chromosomes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in plants

Ancient heteromorphic sex chromosomes are common in mammals, but not in plants. Sex chromosomes in the plant family Cannabaceae, which includes species like hops and hemp, were identified a century ag...
