New preprint! This study identifies partial sweeps at insecticide resistance genes that have spread across Aedes mosquito populations worldwide. These sweeps constrast with genome-wide admixture patterns and local resistance architectures biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Two new preprints from my group today---this one was led by Dandan Peng with an assist from Obadiah Mulder. Dandan benchmarked a bunch of leading ARG-estimation methods with respect to a specific goal (1/n)

Congrats to the whole team, especially our fearless leaders Peter Ralph, Jiseon Min and my student Elsie Chevy, on this paper about pop gen in space: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. The paper is a "guide" as the title says, AND 1/4

This is wrong, but there is a lot of confusion about why (thread)

Yesterday I wrote a thread about why an infographic circulating was misinformation. I wanted to respond to some comments and questions, offer a new (perhaps more intuitive) calculation (thread)

Super excited about this devious new method, DR EVIL, from Joshua G. Schraiber !

Inference and applications of ancestral recombination graphs go.nature.com/3XKl943 #Review by Rasmus Nielsen, Andrew Vaughn & Yun Deng 邓赟 UC Berkeley

Our lab group is recruiting for a new Postdoc to join us. We are looking for someone to work on projects in Deep Learning and/or Spatial Population Genetics. Please share.

Beyond proud of Meaghan Clark for a spectacular defense of her PhD today! SLiM, snakes, genomics pedigrees, inbreeding depression -- some really fascinating and important work to come from her dissertation. Congratulations Meaghan! 🤩🥳🐍🐍🐍

In a new Science study, researchers introduce GAIA, a statistical approach that seeks to learn the geographic position of every genetic ancestor of individuals included in a genome dataset. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/4l79zLb #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/41Owy6f
