If you know a #youngReseacher (e.g. yourself) who published a cool paper in ME/MER last year, email me a nomination for this year’s Harry Smith Prize by April 29. Details: molecularecologyblog.com/2022/03/22/nom…

We are still accepting nominations for the Harry Smith Prize. This prize recognizes the best papers by graduate students and early career scholars published in ME/MER last year. Nominate yourself or a colleague before Apr 29! molecularecologyblog.com/2022/03/22/nom…

yaniv brandvain Introducing with full term + parenthesized acronym used in rest of paper can work well: helps readers and web-searchers(!), esp. for rarer (here, MCMC, DMI, and even MHC) and/or jargon-ambiguous (IBD, IBS, anything matching a gene name) acronyms.

Molecular Ecology Resources welcomes papers for the Special Issue 'OMICS TOOLS FOR SPECIES CONSERVATION'. Deadline: November 27th 2022. Details: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/asse…

Congrats to the winner and outstanding nominees! Thank everyone who submitted nominations for the prize

We are still soliciting nominations for the Molecular Ecology Prize 📣

So excited to see my paper with Nina O. Therkildsen featured on the cover of Molecular Ecology Resources! Thank you @x_dallaire and @ClaireMerot for writing this excellent perspective piece!

Our lab two pangenome paper just online back-to-back in nature. We use tomato graph pangenome to capture the missing heritability and guide tomato breeding. 1/n nature.com/articles/s4158…

The potato pan-genome epitomized the power of section-wide pan-genomics in dissecting tuber evolution, providing vital insights for hybrid potato improvement, and building a feasible framework of pan-genome studies that can be followed by other crops. disq.us/t/48arc31

Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra. As tasty as other cultivars of B. oleracea

Very cool study! Congrats, Ben! Also a super nice case of mining eBird data - esp the method to define species elevational ranges

So, lots more wild sunflower & cannabis genetics, genomics, mol/dev/evol biology and ecology to come, with the goal of understanding plant diversity and adaptation, and how to make more resilient and sustainable crops 🌻🌿🧬🥳 (positions soon available, if anyone is interested)

Mind-blowing!

More inversions, and locally-adapted inversions showing little evidence of deleterious mutations

Look at this great postdoc opportunity! 😁 Come work with us on cannabis genetics and flowering time diversity in beautiful Vancouver (and help reduce cannabis' humongous carbon footprint, since you are at it). Also, new website! todescolab.msl.ubc.ca

📢 Nominations are now open for the 2023 Molecular Ecology Prize. This prize will go to an outstanding scientist who has made significant contributions to molecular ecology. Apps are due March 31, check here for more details: molecularecologyblog.com/2023/02/28/nom…

We are soliciting nominations for this year’s HSP. Email me if you know any cool papers published by #youngResearcher (eg yourself) in MolEco

Cool genomic study

Excited to share our new paper in PNASNews, "The genomics of linkage drag in inbred sunflower lines"! 🌻 We examine wild introgressions' effects on cultivated sunflower, revealing pros & cons. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧬🌾 #SunflowerGenomics #CropImprovement #LinkageDrag
