BTEP Distinguished Speakers Seminar Series

Event Description

Telomere to telomere (T2T) genome assemblies represent a paradigm shift in comparative genomics, offering insights into chromosome structure, evolution, and function at the highest resolution. Dr. O'Neill's lab has made recent efforts employing long-read based genome assembly, coupled with epigenetic, functional and repeat analyses, which have afforded the opportunity to delineate key elements participant in centromere function and chromosome rearrangement. Using a comparative approach and long-read, gapless genome assemblies, their studies provide insight into the diversity, distribution, and evolution of repetitive regions that shape chromosome structure and evolution in human and in species groups experiencing rapid karyotypic change.
