Thanks to everyone who joined the #HackPR25 biohackathon following the @humanpangenome.bsky.social annual meeting in #Memphis. We hacked on #pangenome representation and interrogation for "laptopable" pangenome-scale analyses. Accessible #pangenomics is coming!

Are you curious to know how the most common human chromosomal translocations arise? Here we are!
"The formation and propagation of human Robertsonian chromosomes" ROBs are the most common translocation in humans, approx. ~1 per 800 people. Last year we proposed a simple mechanism for ROB formation; This year we prove it by finishing some T2T! New preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
