Exciting!! š Our work on epigenetic divergence in the spectacularly explosive radiation of Lake Malawi cichlids is now out at Nature Communications. Led by @gregverne at Gurdon Institute Wellcome Sanger Institute GeneticsCambridge with great collabs - 1/7 š§µš nature.com/articles/s4146ā¦



Check out the reviewed version of our work on epigenetic and transposon landscapes of the symbiotic fungus R. irregularis Genome Research. An amazing collab between Eric Miska Lab Paszkowski Lab Sebastian Schornack and Butter labs. genome.cshlp.org/content/early/⦠𧵠follows ā ideas welcome!

Check out this open postdoc position on sex determination in #SeaTurtles in the amazing Eizaguirre Lab at Queen Mary University of London

New postdoc call to start during 2022. A fully funded postdoc position to study population genomics in a big dataset of primate WGS. Previous experience with theory and popgen required. Funded by European Research Council (ERC) Please RT. Thanks! Contact me by email if interested.


Funded PhD opportunity to study magic traits in cichlids with me and M. EmĆlia Santos - please RT! #fishsci panorama-dtp.ac.uk/research/visuaā¦

Today LaraSchmittmann becomes Dr.Schmittman. I feel so proud and thankful for the chance of advising her, together with Ute Hentschel and sharing her journey .I've learnt from Lara's talent, been inspired by her creativity, and had lots of fun along the way! This is your day!




Very excited to share our new paper on genome evolution of the amazing Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation, with insights from 24 new genome assemblies biorxiv.org/content/10.110⦠from my work with Wellcome Sanger Tree of Life Programme Richard Durbin Eric Miska Lab GeneticsCambridge @sangerVGP @Naturalis_Sci 1/7


A peer-reviewed and improved version of our paper on #celegans LOTR-1 (LOTUS and Tudor domain containing 1) has been published in PLOS Genetics! If youāre into germ granules, small RNAs & epigenetics this is the paper for you. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a⦠1/3

At #ESEB2022? Join current and past lab members @alice_balard Melanie Heckwolf @baltazar_soares for their symposium "S21. Epigenetics goes #wild! #Epigenetic #diversity and the evolutionary potential of wild populations" Guest speakers: Sofia Consuegra & Olivier Rey Evolutionary Applications

Are you working on #epigenomics in wild populations? Consider publishing your work in our special issue in Evolutionary Applications


The story of my journey as the 1st D. Ross Robertson fellow is finally out! Very grateful for the opportunity and success of this project: >500 fish photographed & sampled across 4 countries: PanamĆ”, Trinidad-and-Tobago, US Virgin Islands, Mexico š š¤æš§¬šø stri.si.edu/story/living-cā¦

Here is the story of the 1st D. Ross Robertson fellowship. Very proud of this achievement and eternally grateful for the help I received from lots of different people along the journey Melanie Heckwolf Jakob Gismann
