Our new paper on Indonesian cattle #genomics is out on @NatureComms 🎉
Did you know Indonesian #cattle 🐂 were a mix of two species?

@longpiaopiao3 @CellCellPress Thanks! 😄

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

Very happy that our article on genomics of saola is the cover for the current @CellCellPress issue!

We sequenced and analyzed the world's rarest large mammal, the #saola. That turned into a cool paper substantially increasing what we know about this elusive animal, its evolutionary history, population structure, and long-term decline.

Very happy to see our paper on saola genomics published! 🦄🐂 Congratulations and thanks to all co-authors, and specially to co-first author Shanlin Liu who started and led the project, to my PhD supervisors @HellerRasmus and @A_Albrechtsen and to co-senior author Tom Gilbert!

Are you an evolutionary/population geneticist in Denmark? The EPIC conference is back and it will take place on 11-12 August 2025 in Aarhus. Come along for two days of great talks and networking! #EPICdk25

New #BGE case study!👇

Thyme's diverse chemotypes provide adaptation to different habitats, and climate change drives shifts in these traits. A new #referencegenome will help protect this diversity and support ecosystems.

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

@sagitaninta @LauraDBertola @PopGenDK Yes I would say you need a fossil record that shows how the species has been over time to identify if there is stasis.

And I don't think there is a specified amount of change needed, I guess it must be little relative to other comparable lineages or time spans...

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

@sagitaninta @LauraDBertola @PopGenDK No, not necessarily, my understanding is that the main condition for evolutionary stasis is that the lineage has little morphological change over a long evolutionary time. It's a concept that comes from paleontology and is based on the fossil record

New paper out 🎉🎉🎉, lead by @XiWang91099530 and Casper-Emil Pedersen, and the @popgenDK group, exploring gene flow and reproductive isolation in an African antelope speciation model: the waterbuck

Very happy to see our work on impala's population genetics published! 🎉This was the first project I started working on during my PhD. See thread by co-author @LauraDBertola with the main findings and beautiful impala photos

New paper out, by @ErillGenis, @PopGenDK & friends 🎉🎉🎉
Extensive Population Structure Highlights an Apparent Paradox of Stasis in the Impala (Aepyceros melampus)
https://t.co/rc7yrfLjPb

[Anubhab @Anubhab_Khan]

We find that #impala is a potential paradox of evolutionary stasis.

A lineage that is static may be assumed to be so because of various processes leading to absence of sub-populations.

However we find evidence of high population structure in impalas

In last week's #SMBE2024 I had the opportunity the present our work on ecological genetics of thyme that we are planning to strenghten with the new reference genome!

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

We are participating in the @BioGenEurope "Enhancing Biodiversity Genomics Applications" program with our plan to assemble a high quality reference genome of common thyme (Thymus vulgaris)!

Check out our new preprint! We've developed a simulation-framework that allows users to explore under what circumstances one can detect epidemic-driven selection using standard selection scan methods like Fst & iHS. All comments are welcome & appreciated! https://t.co/ggDqE1RVjp

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

This project is a collaboration between researchers in @AarhusUni_int and @CNRS @INRAE_OC_MPL @AgapInstitut among others!
Looking forward to adancing this work with @ThomasBataillon, Bodil Ehlers, John Thompson, Sylvain Santoni, @PalmadaMarc and many others!

[Genís Garcia Erill @ErillGenis]

Our project will apply the reference genome to study how thyme populations use chemotype diversity for local adaptation and its implication for thyme responses to climate change!
