Matt Webster

Uppsala professor into evolutionary genomics of birds and bees
I don't post on X, follow me on bluesky for updates @mwbstr.bsky.social

There is a postdoc position available in my lab to study the genomic basis of climate adaptation in bees. It is part of the EU Horizon funded Better-B project (https://t.co/zDBWaIqv2X). Please apply! Details here:

Great to collaborate with the Webster group in Uppsala, who led a study using bumblebee genomes to study population genetic diversity in vulnerable species. @molecology. Big thanks to @aoifecj for fieldwork. https://t.co/5vsm6xbX7Z

Thanks to an awesome team, our trio-based de novo mutation rates study is now out! We estimated a rate for 68 vertebrate species and explore the male and female contributions and the impact of life-history traits on the evolution of the rate! Read more:

How can we use genomics to address insect declines? Some colleagues and I did some thinking about this issue last year and came up with this article:

Eric Axelsson and colleagues present WGS data from 8 dog breeds, showing that cavalier King Charles spaniels carry more harmful genetic variants than other breeds in the study and identify candidate risk alleles for the heart disease MMVD.

Our new paper on speciation and gene flow in bumblebees is out now, including the discovery of a new species using genome sequencing. Check it out! https://t.co/AQsx6SXtP0

It's been 15 years since the publication of the honey bee genome! What have we learned?

@AmroYorkU and I explore in fun review for Apidologie's 50th anniversary, along with a little nostalgia (Figure 1 @iBioIllinois original "beenomics" t-shirt).

Highly recommended!

[Andreas Wallberg @andreaswallberg]

Interested in population genomics under the sea? What genes contribute to genetic adaptation in zooplankton? The Wallberg group has an open position for a researcher to study evolutionary genomics in keystone krill and copepods! Welcome to apply! https://t.co/XKHebsFrp4

[Matt Webster @MattTWebster]

Happy to be involved in this. I’ll be studying genetic diversity in wild bees!

[Earth BioGenome Project 🌍 @EBPgenome]

Congrats @SciLifeLab on receiving SEK 7.8 million to build the Swedish EBP! 🎉

They'll work with the public sector to generate results with direct benefit for Swedish nature conservation + environmental monitoring🇸🇪🧬
