Deep learning reveals the role of copy number variation
in the genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic
sexual trait. Wouter van der Bijl did it all - selection experiment, pedigrees, neural nets, GWAS - for the architecture of color and pattern in guppies biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Come do science with us! We are hiring two faculty in Evolutionary Biology UBC Zoology and UBCBiodiversity ! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25398/ Please spread the word!
Hi #Evol2023 ! I'm heading your way and am excited to start recruiting for my forthcoming lab at The University of Chicago.
If you're interested in the genetics of adaptation and/or plant evolution, I'd love to get in touch! You can also catch me after my talk on Friday aft (ASN ECI Symposium).

If you have ideas for new tools to solve interesting problems on large datasets, let's chat!
Tom Booker (find me on Bluesky) and I are looking for a postdoc interested in the genomics of local adaptation. We hope to harness better information from gene genealogies in genotype environment associations.
Please see docs.google.com/document/d/1iL… for more info. See me at #Evol2023 or email.
So well deserved! I wouldn’t be where I am without Sarah Otto
The whole “don’t meet your heroes” thing doesn’t apply to her!
