Carpathians and Alps host pink-petal plants For they'r almost the same is convergence to blame Genomic solutions of alpine intrusions depend on divergence ... take it or re-sequence!!!! Congrats to Magdalena Bohutínská by #Sciencepoetry

Please, retweet! I am still recruiting a PhD student for two newly funded projects on neo-sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera. Is sex chromosome turnover driven by sexual antagonism in leps and does it play any role in their speciation? For details see bit.ly/32RdCnu

NEW: a lot of data on reported Covid deaths is highly suspect, so we’ve been looking into excess mortality — how many more people than usual have been dying around the world in recent weeks? Story by me, Chris Giles & Valentina Romei (free to read): ft.com/content/6bd88b…

I invite applications for PhD and Postdoc positions on a new ERC-CZ project. We will explore how maintenance of genetic variation and species diversity are connected! See lab.hrcek.net

In a recent interview, DW News asked Yuval about how the world is changing, the choice between totalitarian surveillance and citizen empowerment, as well as whom, or what, to trust during the coronavirus outbreak. Read Yuval's answers here: bit.ly/YNHDWCorona -YNH Team

Now online Molecular Ecology Resources: Linked‐read sequencing enables haplotype‐resolved resequencing at population scale bit.ly/2A1ApT3 We show that moderate sequencing depths can achieve Mb-scale phase block N50, paving the way for physically phased sequencing at population scale.

May all beings living in the darkness of delusion enjoy the sparkling awareness.

I am excited to share our new pre-print on #parallel #adaptation in #autopolyploid #Arabidopsis arenosa! We show polyploids can rapidly adapt to environmental extremes, calling mainly on pre-existing alleles but partly also on de novo variation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 1/6

How do people parallelize GATK4 (besides across regions)? The spark stuff is a frickin' mess (not for production, can't take multiple BAMs), and the other threading options I've tried seem to not really be using more than 1 core...

I am looking for a postdoc (bit.ly/3HEiC5j) and PhD student (bit.ly/3YiQp9P) to join my newly funded project and study holocentric chromosomes and meiotic modifications in moths and butterflies. Contact me for details or Pablo Mora Ruiz for reference. Pls retweet!

Máme velkou radost! Ve spolupráci s ochranaprirody_aopkcr jsme vytvořili dokument (tzv. standard), který bude SYSTÉMOVĚ řešit problematiku nárazů ptáků do skel. 📜 Standard je vyvrcholením dlouhodobého úsilí ČSO, aby stavby v Česku byly bezpečnější pro ptáky. birdlife.cz/bude-uz-pro-pt…
