Guys guess who I met today, Prof. Axel Meyer, last time I met him in Kunming, this time in Beijing. Another great one is Prof. Sudhil Kumar, creator of MEGA software which you guys use frequently. Axel Meyer is an emeritus professor working on fish evolutionary genomics. One more, Prof. Scott Edwards from the Harvard University, well-known with his work on bird evolution. https://t.me/EvolutionaryGenomics

No words, amazing to see Prof. Zihen Yang, a found of Paml.

SMBE 2025 Annual Meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology & Evolution, 2025 Glad to attend at this advanced-level conference, more 1200 participants from 40 more countries around the world. PS. Attendants from world renowned universities like Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Max Planck and etc.

Let me teach you guys how to assemble mitochondrial genome from Illumina short reads sequence. Here is a XX-assembly.pbs script. We have been used Getorganelle software. Insert function: -1 xxx-1.fq.gz / -2 xxx-2.fq.gz / -t available CPU / -k kmers / -R 10 / -F animal_mt / -o output-directory You will get a log file to trace the details. https://t.me/EvolutionaryGenomics

Looking back over the past year, it was filled with energy and determination, though far from stress-free. One of the most demanding challenges was collecting tissue samples for chromosome-level genome sequencing of a rare fish species. The process was exceptionally complex. First, locating a live specimen of such a rare fish in the wild required extensive fieldwork and considerable effort. Next, the tissues had to be immediately preserved in liquid nitrogen, demanding strict temperature control under remote and often difficult conditions. However, the most logistically challenging and mentally taxing step was transporting the frozen samples—first from Khorezm to Tashkent, then from Tashkent to Beijing by airplane—using dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), a substance that can become hazardous under improper conditions. Coordinating this journey across international borders, while ensuring the samples remained intact and legally compliant, was an ordeal that is difficult to put into words. After consulting numerous researchers, it became clear that such an operation had not been previously attempted in Uzbekistan—and perhaps not anywhere in Central Asia. What was all this for? The goal was to sequence the entire genome of a rare fish at the chromosome level—comparable in resolution to the sequencing of the human genome. If not any genome before our publication, this will represent the first chromosome-level genome of any animal from Central Asia. https://t.me/EvolutionaryGenomics
