African Pan Genome Contigs Expose Biologically Relevant Sequence Still Hidden from Human Reference Frameworks

Rachel N. Martini, Abdulfatai Tijjani, Kyriaki Founta, Daniel Cha, Alexandria Awai, Sebastian Maurice, Jason A. White, Christopher E. Mason, Isidro Cortés‐Ciriano, Nicolas Robine, Onyinye Balogun, Nyasha Chambwe, Melissa Boneta Davis

The paper identifies African Pan Genome contigs that are missing from current human reference genomes, showing they contain functionally relevant sequences and are enriched in African ancestry.

Mammalian oocytes receive maternal-effect RNAs from granulosa cells

Caroline A. Doherty, Abdulfatai Tijjani, Steven C. Munger, Diana J. Laird

The paper shows that growing mouse oocytes receive mRNAs from granulosa cells, which are enriched for transcripts important for oocyte maturation and early embryo development.
