	<description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">This tool extracts heterozygous kmer pairs from kmer count databases and performs gymnastics with them. We are able to disentangle genome structure by comparing the sum of kmer pair coverages (CovA + CovB) to their relative coverage (CovB / (CovA + CovB)). Such an approach also allows us to analyze obscure genomes with duplications, various ploidy levels, etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">Smudgeplots are computed from raw or even better from trimmed reads and show the haplotype structure using heterozygous kmer pairs. For example:</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Genetic basis of tail-loss evolution]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The paper <em>"On the genetic basis of tail-loss evolution in humans and apes (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07095-8)"</em>, published in <em>Nature</em>, investigates the genetic mechanisms that led to the loss of tails in humans and apes. The study suggests that a specific genetic mutation, involving the insertion of an <em>Alu</em> element (a type of transposable DNA sequence), played a critical role in the evolutionary transition from tailed primates to tailless hominoids.</p><h3><strong>Key Findings of the Study:</strong></h3><ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Alu Insertion and Tail Loss:</strong><br /> The researchers discovered an <em>Alu</em>-mediated genetic change in a common ancestor of modern apes and humans. This change disrupted the normal function of a gene involved in tail development, leading to the suppression of tail formation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Gene Disruption Mechanism:</strong><br /> The <em>Alu</em> insertion was found within a regulatory region of the <em>TBXT</em> gene (also known as <em>T</em> or <em>Brachyury</em>), which is crucial for tail development in vertebrates. This insertion likely altered the gene's expression patterns, leading to tail reduction over evolutionary time.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Functional Evidence from Model Organisms:</strong><br /> To test their hypothesis, the researchers introduced similar genetic modifications in mice. The modified mice exhibited shortened or absent tails, supporting the idea that the identified mutation played a role in tail loss in hominoids.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Evolutionary Implications:</strong><br /> The findings suggest that small, random genomic changes&mdash;such as transposable element insertions&mdash;can have profound effects on body morphology. This study provides evidence that mobile DNA elements (like <em>Alu</em>) can drive major evolutionary transitions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Relevance to Human Evolution:</strong><br /> Understanding the genetic basis of tail loss helps in reconstructing the evolutionary history of hominins (the lineage that includes humans and our extinct relatives). It also sheds light on how genetic variations contribute to anatomical diversity among primates.</p>
</li>
</ol><h3><strong>Significance of the Study:</strong></h3><p>This research highlights the role of transposable elements in shaping evolutionary traits and provides a concrete genetic explanation for a defining characteristic of humans and great apes. It also demonstrates how mutations in regulatory regions of developmental genes can lead to significant anatomical changes.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<iframe width="" height="" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TwXXgEz9o4w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we've been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists wrote down the entire 3-billion letter code contained in the average human genome. Now they're trying to interpret that code; to work out how it's used to make different types of cells and different people. The ENCODE project, as it's called, is the latest chapter in the story of you. To read the ENCODE research papers and more, visit http://www.nature.com/ENCODE</p>]]></description>
