I had a great time again at this years Popgroup @popgroup2026.bsky.social . I got the amazing opportunity to present my findings of ERVs in the genomes of slow lorises. Thanks to all the organizers!
First paper of my PhD just got published! We identified a full length endogenous retrovirus in slow lorises; with a twist ending regarding the current labelling of reference genomes 🧬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
