Introducing TYLOSAURUS REX–“TEX”. A monster animal, a monster paper, & a monster project that I am *so* excited to finally share with everyone after ~5 yrs. Huge thanks to my coauthors, Mike & Ron, & to Alderon Games for bringing our lad to life!! #FossilFriday
@drpintothe2nd.bsky.social et al. present SCINKD as a framework to identify unannotated sex chromosomes and curate diploid genome assemblies from a single individual.

New *Tylosaurus rex* mosasaur reached 43 feet long! That's one big sea lizard, and a reminder of how much we're still learning about ancient life.
Beautiful. Big news if you’re interested in identifying and compiling sex-determining mechanisms like me!

Absolutely amazing, thorough, and integrative work by DR. Zietlow!!! So many congratulations!! 🎉
Happy to announce two-fold news!
1) The SCINKD paper is now published in @molbioevol.bsky.social - doi.org/10.1093/molb...
2) SCINKD [v2.2.4] release has reduced runtimes (about 2x) and the revitalized mode for genomes >5Gb is now live and tested on genomes up to 21Gb! 🐸 github.com/DrPintoThe2n...

🐍 Exciting news! The first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of the mandarin rat snake (Euprepiophis mandarinus) has been assembled. This 1.65 Gb genome with 19 chromosomes offers vital insights for taxonomy, evolution, and conservation.

Happy to announce the alpha release of the SCINKD3!
SCINKD3 is an extension of SCINKD streamlines the use of WGS data from multiple individuals to identify sex chromosomes. In testing, its shown to be robust in many cases with as few as 4 individuals.
