The PCAngsd framework keeps growing. The newly integrated methods for performing selection scans in low-coverage data (!) are now published in BMC Bioinformatics. Jonas Meisner Anders Albrechtsen Kristian Hanghøj bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A new paper on cetacean strandings of Mission Guatemala. A nice overview of strandings over the last 15 years. Great job Fabiola Corona, Vane and Jenny. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How low can you go: sex identification from sequencing data of species lacking assembled sex chromosomes biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_genomic

New sex-identification method for low-coverage shotgun sequencing data with Mick Westbury Mikkel Skovrind Marie Louis Eline Lorenzen and Alba! No need of a conspecific reference genome. Works from one sample and as low as 1,000 mapped reads! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our review on cetaceans evolution is now officially published. A nice overview of what have we learned from applying molecular methods, future perspectives and challenges. Eline Lorenzen Marie Louis Marine Evolution & Conservation Group annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.11…

Excited to share our study on genetics of baleen #whales published on Global Change Biology . It shows how past #GlobalWarming had strong, ocean-wide impacts on baleen whales and their prey in the North Atlantic and Southern Oceans.

Really great to have the recommendation for our manuscript exploring the marine speciation paradox in cetaceans using genomics with Andrea A Cabrera @EnRose89 Eline Lorenzen, those not on twitter, and the recommder/reviewers

In the final talk of the first session, we return to the Artic with Andrea A Cabrera's talk on "Using ancient DNA to trace the history of some of the southernmost polar bear fossil remains" #EPICdk22

Our SeXY paper is out! A new method to identify sex from very low quantity shotgun sequencing data @ Mick Westbury Marie Louis Mikkel Skovrind Eline Lorenzen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣 Very proud of current and former PhD students Marianne Dehasque & Patrícia Chrzanová Pečnerová giving fantastic presentations at #ConsGen22 Want to follow in their footsteps and be the next PhD student on mammoth genomics in Stockholm? Apply here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ su.se/english/about-…

Great to see how our work inspires other people to write about evolution of whales. knowablemagazine.org/article/living…

Do you want to know more about Greenlandic polar bears? 🐻‍❄️❄️ Check out our new preprint. Great work from the team, specifically Mick Westbury and Eline Lorenzen

You want to make science inclusive. Stop with this absurd and discriminatory requests: "please submit your revised final version, along with a letter from a native English speaker that confirms the English of the manuscript has been reviewed and is in good order" Revista de Biología Tropical

Relatedness inference with low-coverage ancient DNA data is still a hard problem. Today, we posted a preprint presenting a new method called KIN that identifies close relatives up to 3rd-degree while differentiating parent-child from siblings: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)

Happy holidays! Introducing RTutor.ai, an AI-powered app that lets you chat with your data in English! RTutor uses Davinci (#ChatGPT’s sibling) to turn requests into R code, which is executed & results are shown instantly, available as a HTML report in seconds. 1/8

Hot off the press in Science Advances, polar bear genomics, diet analysis, morphological comparisons, and habitat modelling! With the combined inferences we show how the environment shaped the evolutionary ecology of Greenlandic polar bears. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🐻‍❄️❄️

Combining Bowhead whale palaeogenomics, stable isotopes, niche modelling and forwards simulations to understand the past and future I was hired to work on this project with Eline Lorenzen 6 years ago and it is finally out as a preprint! 🐳🧬🦴 Thread🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
