A new one in MEC We are rather happy about it. Congrats @YannDorant and whole team #CNV outperform #SNP to reveal genotype–temperature association in a marine species https://t.co/AbI2Ml11JR

Hot of the presses, we use genetics to investigate strain-specific performance of #Muskellunge in #Wisconsin lakes and find that Wisconsin strains outperform the Leech Lake (Minnesota) strain. Wisconsin strain likely better adapted to local environments.

Check out this super interesting paper from Garrett McKinney on the genetic basis of age-at-maturity in Chinook salmon! Specific y-chromosome haplotypes linked to large differences in size and age-at-maturity https://t.co/PdQ9ADUYxo

Another synergistic team effort from our lab Great lead @AL_Ferchaud Adaptive/Maladaptive genetic diversity in small populations; insights from Brook Charr https://t.co/Aq7wvhjfji @Popgen_Papers @molecology @TheFSBI @AFSGenetics #RADseq #SNP #Deleterious #Maladaptation #TE #Fish

Could not hope for a cooler 60th anniversary present: Special Issue with 25 papers put together by 35 alumni & lab members and best colleague @MarenWellenreut THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ! @GenomeQuebec @eseb_org @TheFSBI @molecology @AmFisheriesSoc

Check it out! More than ten years of work by many people at @molecolflinders and a great collaboration between @Yuma_More @k_gatesy @Bilbyboi @LouBernatchez has been published today in @PNASNews. #PNAS #ClimateChange #rainbowfishes https://t.co/q162A3RQ10

The genetic architecture underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is not consistent with the infinitesimal model https://t.co/4jdRyEJQKt #biorxiv_evobio

Check out our latest pub describing a GTseq panel for walleye out in MER. Nitty gritty details about panel design that will hopefully be useful for folks making their own panels. We highly recommend GTseq chemistry. Great workflow when optimized. https://t.co/gWndvztqDn
