A recent publication in PNAS by Peter Vekilov, a researcher at the University of Houston, has shed light on the process of crystal formation and how molecules become a part of them. Vekilov's research utilized advanced experimental techniques to uncover that incorporation into crystal kinks occurs in two steps, with an intermediate state playing a crucial role in the stability and growth of crystals. This discovery challenges previous theories and could aid in understanding the influence of small parts in a liquid on the shapes of natural crystals. The findings have implications for various fields, including bioengineering, nanobiotechnology, and emerging technologies. [Extracted from the article]

Creating the pangenome The pangenome was made possible through the development of advanced computational techniques to align the multiple genome sequences into one, usable reference in a structure called a pangenome graph. Because of the methods used in this project, all of the genomes within the pangenome reference are of extremely high quality and accuracy, covering more than 99 percent of each human genome with more than 99 percent accuracy.
