August issue cover: What’s going on here?

Posted by Brooke LaFlamme | Categories: Genomics, Nature Genetics covers

Rhinopithecus bieti

This month’s cover image is inspired by the paper on page 947 reporting the reference genome sequence of the black snub-nosed monkey, the second snub-nosed monkey genome paper published in Nature Genetics. The golden snub-nosed monkey genome was published in 2014.  Read more

May issue cover: What’s going on here?

May issue cover: What's going on here?

This month’s cover image is inspired by the Article on p. 528 of this issue, by Jeff Wall, Nicola Illing, Nadav Ahituv and colleagues. The paper reports the genome of the bat Miniopterus natalensis and transcriptional dynamics in the developing bat wing. This species, one of a group known as vesper bats, is also known as the Natal long-fingered bat and is found in parts of Africa.  Read more

What makes a parasite?

Posted by Brooke LaFlamme | Categories: Evolution, Genomics

What makes a parasite?

Genetic clues to what makes parasitic worms different from free-living worms are reported in a paper published online this week in Nature Genetics. Groups led by Mark Viney, Matthew Berriman and Taisei Kikuchi carried out the sequencing and assembly of genomes from six nematode species from the clade that includes the human parasitic roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis. We asked one of the authors, Professor Mark Viney of the University of Bristol, to tell us a little bit about the study.  Read more
