Decided to migrate over on Christmas Day. Find me on the other side @ zhanglabpopgen.bsky.social Will try to keep both profiles for as long as I can tolerate it here lol

New paper from the lab just out before New Years! Revisiting adaptive introgression at the HLA genes in Lithuanian genomes with machine learning doi.org/10.1016/j.meeg…

I'm breaking my Twitter boycott for the greater good. We have a school-wide search for an open rank faculty as mentor professor. It is a unique position that can be hired in a variety of departments across the school. Please check it out and share widely. recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10062

Really excited to share our new preprint led by clara is @ramencult on bsky on a novel signature of selection in georeferenced genotype data: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Amazing achievement especially given this rough year! Congratulations Tessa!!!!

Final version of our paper on scaling in SLiM now published in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) ! We’ve added some new results comparing coalescence, linkage disequilibrium, and background selection in various scaled simulations.

Very glad this paper is finally out!

Incredible! Dragon man is a Denisovan. Major congratulations Qiaomei Fu cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Based on the new DNA evidence now from Harbin, as well as Xiahe, it's now almost certain that the samples in the yellow box are all Denisovan. It's very exciting that we finally get to study the morphology of these samples in light of their relationship to us and Neanderthals.
