Our new preprint is up - “Insights into non-crossover recombination from long-read sperm sequencing”! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread: 1/

Check out our new preprint about the role (and origin) of large polymorphic inversions across dozens of Malawi cichlid species! 🐟🧬

Gene Myers just released super fast whole genome aligner github.com/thegenemyers/F…. He and Chenxi Zhou and I have lots of ideas for downstream use.

What a day 🤗 discussing cichlid research with close collaborators across the UK, Switzerland and Malawi. A big thank you to Bettina, Richard Durbin and Moritz Blumer for organising! #cichlidscience School of Biological Sciences Dept of Zoology GeneticsCambridge

Few days left to apply for PhD or Postdoc positions on comparative genomics to understand long healthspan and disease resistance in bats, as part of our ERC synergy #BATPROTECT.

The first paper from my PhD "A whole-body micro-CT scan library that captures the skeletal diversity of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes" (nature.com/articles/s4159…) has been published in Scientific Data! Thank you to my supervisors Berta Verd and Roger Benson for their support!

New publication alert! I am thrilled to announce that my new paper has just been published, and is open-access! It presents the first survey of variation in much of the cichlid skeleton behind the head. doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12…

In this preprint, Regev Schweiger, Richard Durbin and I discuss ancient (>5 million years ago) hominin demography biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s now or never. Europe, unite! 🇪🇺

Preprint is out! We investigated the genomic diversity and evolutionary history of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes, one of the main species transmitting human malaria across Africa. Here’s a visual summary. Art by Petra Korlevic . 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I wonder: Are the people of the proud democracy and great science nation USA just going to sit back and watch as it is dismantled by a bunch of rampant billionaires? wired.com/story/noaa-emp…

I have no words for this other than that it hurts incredibly to witness what is happening to the US. science.org/content/blog-p…

After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States. Troops from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine,

These aren’t dire wolves. Dire wolves are a completely different genus that originated in the Americas. These are just gray wolves with a handful of dire wolf genes. The genetic science here is cool, but presenting it this way is incredibly dishonest. But hey, that’s Colossal!

The AfD - the very political party Elon Musk prominently supported during the German election campaign - has now been classified as right-wing extremist by Germany's federal office for the protection of the constitution. This is how bad it is. And people should know.
