We have a new paper out in Molecular Ecology, led by @DevinBendixsen ! Reproductive isolation due to divergent ecological selection is accompanied by vast genomic instability in experimentally evolved yeast populations https://t.co/ig1xUm8Qit

[Isidro Cortes-Ciriano @isidrolauscher]

Thrilled to see #SAVANA out in @naturemethods🥳 SAVANA detects haplotype-resolved somatic SVs and copy number aberrations (SCNAs) and infers tumour purity & ploidy in clinical samples using long-read sequencing with or WITHOUT a matched germline control 👇https://t.co/AdZhqHUsDb

Interested in the mysteries surrounding metastasis evolution?

This perspective in @NatureRevCancer is my best attempt at proposing a framework that could help advance our thinking about the topic.

Well. At least it helped advance my own thinking. 😅

I'm proud to share that our article has been published in @NatureComms Our findings reveal fascinating patterns, explained by a theoretical model proposed over 100 years ago by the legendary J.B.S. #Haldane ⭐️ #Hybridization #Adaptation #Evolution

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Hybrids have complex genomes that influence their adaptive potential. Bautista et al. show that yeast hybrids adapt slower than their parental species, primarily due to a reduced rate of loss of heterozygosity in key genes

Exciting demonstration of the value of deep WGS, and calling of structural variants, for effective patient stratification

[Ailith Ewing @Ailith_Ewing]

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an exemplar tumour type for studying chromosomal instability. I'm delighted finally to share with you our efforts to disentangle the chaos from the underlying biology... https://t.co/np2rrFAPyh 1/

[S. Lorena Ament @LoreAment]

The pretty version of our paper in @MolBioEvol is out! "The Dynamics of Adaptation to Stress from Standing Genetic Variation and de novo Mutations" explores the result of ~1000 gens of baker's yeast evolution in the lab 🧪! 1/n

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

Don't know for how long I haven't seen a paper in actual print. Look, @DevinBendixsen! Check out the cute yeast cartoon open access here https://t.co/W8nLQqj7Fj in @ELS_Genetics 👹

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

Proud to report that our paper on 'The dynamics of adaptation to stress from standing genetic variation and de novo mutations' is accepted for open access publication in Molecular Biology and Evolution @MolBioEvol. Pdf here (pretty version will follow) https://t.co/YrCMxBGccs

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

The Stelkens Lab is looking for a #postdoc in #yeast evolution and genomics! Start date asap. 2-year period with possible extension. Project is flexible but should involve experimental evolution, #Saccharomyces, and fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. Come join us!

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

Our opinion paper on the evolutionary and ecological potential of yeast hybrids with @DevinBendixsen is out!

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

New paper alert! Heads up, if you are interested in lineage tracking with DNA barcodes. This is Shepherd, an accurate new clustering method to reduce noise and distinguish true from error sequences https://t.co/0I3a4hd18d

[Wiley Life Sciences @WileyLifeSci]

In "Saccharomyces #yeast hybrids on the rise," authors @DevinBendixsen, João G. Frazão & @StelkensLab present new numbers on genomes sequenced, assemblies, annotations, & sequencing runs + more.

Read it in @Yeast_Journal.
