Hi! I’m a postdoc working on arthropod epigenetics, now based University of Leicester. I’ll be tweeting about work from The University of Edinburgh: sex-specific expression and DNA methylation in a species with extreme sexual dimorphism and paternal genome elimination. #pgg55 #pggflash #pgg55flash

Tomorrow I'll be talking about our (Levi Yant 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 , FilipKolar) project examining the effect of whole genome duplication on structural variation - no exciting results yet (early days!) but come along to hear our plans, especially if you're interested in pangenomics! #pgg55

Looks like an exciting day of talks at #pgg55. If you fancy a spot of #epigenetics, look out for my talk on DNA methylation and nucleotide diversity in 'lake invaders'! (#sticklebacks) 14.15GMT in Parallel session 1 (T40)

Congrats to James Ord, Postdoc at FIWI, who won the #postdoc #prize for his talk on #stickleback #epigenetics. 🎉 #pgg55

Thanks! and a big thank you to the organisers of #pgg55 for the terrific job they did. I was also really impressed by the quality of talks and the level of enthusiasm on show throughout! Population Genetics Group

Have any other 🇬🇧 Ambassadors around the 🌍 had coffee delivered to their Embassies by robot? Thought we would give it a go today and it was great fun seeing it/her/him trundling along! And yes the coffee was still hot!

Very cool!

Our new pre-print is now available looking at sex-specific DNA methylation in the Asian Psyllid bug, an important agricultural pest and vector of citrus greening disease. #DNAMethylation #Epigenetics #Psyllid #InsectEpigenetics doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

I'm a postdoc HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki interested in why individuals vary; how does life history evolution operate across environments, & what physiological mechanisms underlie this? Currently🦋, prev.🦌🐘 #WomenInScience #WomenInScienceHelsinki #WeAreHelsinkiUni #minätutkin

Also, with this great cover image thanks to Emma Curran

Happy to see this finally out. Want to know more about how genetic and epigenetic diversity interplay? Great collaboration with James Ord Adrian-Kalchhauser

We've known that #genetics and #epigenetics are linked in many ways, but how far can you see this in nature? Here is what we learned from #sticklebacks. Cheers Adrian-Kalchhauser and Toni Gossmann biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just in time for #epimar! In essence: James Ord finds that #environmentally sensitive #DNA #methylation (across speciation- and global change timescales alike) affects sequence #evolution in a wild #fish population. 🧵

Famous authors more likely to be published (6 times more likely!), so clearly double blind peer review is the way to go. By how do we reconcile that with preprints? One has to go? Anonymous preprints? #OpenScience Nicola Jones Stefan Palan 🏳️‍🌈 nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Looking forward to the joint p webber Uni Fribourg #befri #genomics day tomorrow. Several student #research projects Institute for Fish and Wildlife Health @unibe available - check out the #poster!

First time presenting a poster in ages at the #befri #genomics day Uni Fribourg, advertising all the wonderful #bioinformatics master projects available Institute for Fish and Wildlife Health @unibe and THeoretical Ecology & Evolution Group @ Uni Bern
