I’m very excited to share this preprint of our recent study with Imogen Porter, @EcoEvoAquatics, Lydia JM Fong, and Judith Mank which explores the genomic, epigenomic, and evolutionary mechanisms of a novel X chromosome dosage compensation system! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Ever wondered how a sex chromosome dosage compensation mechanism evolves de novo? Transposon wave remodelled the epigenomic landscape in the rapid evolution of a novel X chromosome dosage compensation mechanism. Absolutely beautiful work by David Metzger biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Application review begins in one week! This position is currently funded for 3 years and I have lots of preliminary data for several projects. Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/114205

Amazing work by Anyi!

🦋🐛Repeated origin of the W chromosome from the Z chromosome in Lepidoptera! Stunning work by Wenting Dai and Liping Ban based on a chromosome-level assembly of the Corn Borer W chromosome. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨This is your friendly reminder that we are hiring!🚨 We invite applications for a tenure-track ASSISTANT PROFESSOR position! For full consideration, please apply by November 4, 2022. The posting can be found here: apply.interfolio.com/115386

My department is hiring two TT professors! Benefits: Great department, world class research, lots of support for starting a lab. The environment at Cornell is outstanding and very collaborative. Any biomedical discipline, incl genomics/ gene regulation. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22987

It doesn't get much better than the Blue Ridge in the fall...

I am recruiting applicants for an NSF-funded graduate student position in my lab KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. We'll be studying genomics (and more) of sex-specific aging in moths & butterflies🦋. Part of the new II-SAGE consortium. I'm happy to chat with prospective students -- DM or email me.

Sex-biased genes are often assumed to be the cause of sexual dimorphism, but what if they are just a result of it? The latest by Iulia Darolti - Sex-biased gene expression at single cell resolution: Causes and consequences of sexual dimorphism biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What is the cause of sex-biased gene expression? Iulia Darolti used single cell RNASeq to determine the role of regulatory versus developmental differences in sex-biased genes and their evolution rates. Now out at @Evolutionletters! academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Excited to see my latest work with Judith Mank out now in Evolution Letters! Sex-biased gene expression at single-cell resolution: Cause and consequence of sexual dimorphism doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Our latest paper - now published in its final form Nature Genetics - examines long-standing questions about enhancer-promoter communication. nature.com/articles/s4158… A brief thread with the key results is below.

Our paper is now out on Nature Genetics! We dive into the interplay between transcription dynamics and enhancer-promoter communication. Huge thanks to our collaborators, it has been a privilege to work with you on this project.
