📢 Hey REPET users ! A new version of the Docker #REPET image is available! hub.docker.com/r/urgi/docker_… It includes the REXdb (@MacasLab) and Dfam (@isbsci) databases formatted for REPET use to improve the classification of your #Transposons reference library.

Great collaboration with Andreas Houben @YiTzuKuo and @MacasLab now published online in @NatureComms. Here we show that holocentromeres can also consist of only a few centromeric units with megabase-sized repeat arrays in similar ranges as in monocentromeres! Crazy!

A new type of plant holocentromere ! Excited to be part of a great team led by Houben lab at @LeibnizIPK, including @YiTzuKuo, @marques_et_al and many others. Supported by #GACR, @BiologyCentre and @ELIXIRCZ. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
