As highly contiguous genome assemblies become more commonplace, our understanding of synteny as a phylogenomic marker will mature. Here, we provide a roadmap of research opportunities and identify challenges that will shape the use of synteny as a phylogenomic character (Fig 4A). Fig 4. A roadmap of challenges and opportunities for synteny-based phylogenomics. (A) A high-level summary of steps toward best practices in synteny-based phylogenomics.

Springtime. Blooming trees. Green grass. Cool winds. Sunny skies. COVID. That is where my mind wanders every year since 2020, when the season turns. I flash back to the drive between the hospital and my home. Every evening after fighting a losing battle at an academic institution hell-bent on ignoring and downplaying the horror that was about to breach our borders. I was a fighter then — maybe more in that moment than I had ever been before and have been since — and I was ready for the fight ahead of me.

As a physician, I am given both the gift and the burden of another’s most intimate moments or even their indiscretions. There is a cloak of invisibility that wraps around a patient and me when behind a closed door. Almost as if the concept of guilt, innocence, opportunity, loss, life, and death are all present together with us in a room, while the rest of the world goes on outside.
