Very pleased to release FlexSweep and some new summary stats, designed for versatility in detecting selective sweeps of different types and robustness to background selection, demographic model misspecification, and recombination rate. 1/n academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

Here's a new explainer on genetic vs genealogical ancestry that I hope many find useful. ow.ly/cc5s50OPOsa. It's an outgrowth of the recent genomics & population descriptors report and made possible by the great support staff and graphics teams working with National Academies

The new ecoevo jobs board is posted! You know what that means? Time to close last year's tab and open a new one. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Come to my poster (207) to learn about frogs 🐸 and colors, today at the San Paolo Cloisters #SMBE23

Simulations represent a powerful approach to overcome limitations of current methods that annotate deleterious variation. @ChrisKyriazis also showed a case study with the extremely threatened vaquitas #SMBE23

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.

A true curiosity-driven journey, fulfilling one of my childhood dreams! The tail loss marks a pivotal evolutionary step towards humans and apes. But how did it happen? rdcu.be/dzTba Itai Yanai Jef Boeke

I’ll be presenting a poster about Rice’s whale, a recently described baleen whale that is critically endangered. Come and say hi at poster 138 #SMBE2024 🐋

Today we’re excited to freely share an early-version of, perhaps, the world’s most expansive genetics dataset: Logan. #bioinformatics #petabase #genetics #genomics #openscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new review on population genetics of dominance now out in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution). We synthesize historical and modern literature on this important topic. Thanks to Chenlu Di ｜狄晨露 for her hard work on this! Read it here: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…

I wrote a Press Release for a @ASNAmNat about Alpine swift relationship drama. Learn why they divorce and how they move forward. Spoiler alert, they have much lower divorce rates than humans amnat.org/an/newpapers/F…

Hello world! I have a postdoc position immediately available in my lab. It will focus on identifying high-quality transposons in many genomes and finding their impacts in evolution and traits. Most works, including EDTA2 development and annotation of 400+ genomes, are done! 1/n
