    Check out ’s paper on the barn swallow genome; b/c of its synanthropic habits (aka undomesticated animal that lives in close proximity w/humans) + cultural value, the barn swallow is a flagship species in conservation biology

    Our paper on the barn swallow genome using third-generation sequencing and DLS optical maps is out!
