One of my favorite talks from TAGC last spring, by Aaron Ragsdale; excited to see the paper!

In the latest publication of SaraH Zanders 🎃💀(tinyurl.com/54z6dndm), I worked on understanding the evolution of multiple wtf meiotic drivers. The key motivation was to understand how fission yeast can have multiple poison-antidote meiotic drivers segregating in their populations.

Next talk: Yun Deng (UC Berkeley) on "Bayesian inference of Ancestral Recombination Graphs: progress and challenges" Tuesday, October 15, at 9:00 AM PDT

My lab read this paper biorxiv.org/content/10.110… for journal club, and had some thoughts on the strong claims made about the number of signals of selection found. 1/

New work from Forrest Li with me and Daniel Runcie, asking how well genotype-environment correlations improve our ability to predict fitness in cultivated populations (spoiler: they don't). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
