Conservationists are celebrating a pack of gray wolves roaming within Lassen Volcanic National Park, the first time wolves have been recorded within the boundaries of the national park itself. https://t.co/NeSef7acLq

PhD opportunity in computational population genetics at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig:
Join our fully funded project to develop IBD-segment tools, connecting high-quality genomes from 500 Black Death victims to modern Europeans. 🌍💻🧬
Please spread the word! 📢🙌

Very excited to (virtually) attend #EESHuman! 💀🧬
Off to a great start with a talk by Nobel Laureate Svante Pääbo.
Hoping to see some of the posters over here (for those of up streaming from across the Atlantic) and to connect with people 😁

[Diego Ortega-Del Vecchyo @dortega_delv]

Our preprint looking at the impact of stabilizing and directional selection on the prediction of complex traits in ancient samples is out. This work was spearheaded by @valenomics in collaboration with @mashaals and @emiliahsc .

[Anders Bergström @andersbrgstrm]

This is now published in Scientific Data: https://t.co/7aY7NMqdcE. The survey is expanded to 42 studies, and the paper now includes a Box 1: "Step-by-step best practices for archiving ancient genomics data in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)." I hope this will prove useful!

[Penn State Biology @PennStateBio]

Penn State Biology is looking for a Tenure Track Evolutionary Genomicist. We are a welcoming and supportive community - come work with us! @PSUScience Read more here: https://t.co/LackQJ47ms

New preprint also dropped on bioRxiv today. This work was spearheaded by awesome former @qbio_usc undergrad @JulieLi531446 alongside @_ellie_cat with sims courtesy of @TessaFerrari and software incorporation from Michael and Ellie

If you missed it and are interested in the topic, here’s a snapshot ⬇️
Reach out if you have any questions/comments, I’d be happy to chat! 😁

[Ana V. Leon-Apodaca @anavictorialeap]

Super excited to be at #SMBE2024!!!
I’ll be presenting a poster in Session 1 later today (2:20 pm at Boca de Tomates) on my project using aDNA 💀🧬 to investigate the relationship between runs of homozygosity and height in ancient European populations. Come say hi! 👋🏼

[Ana V. Leon-Apodaca @anavictorialeap]

Thanks so much to everyone that stopped by my poster yesterday! I had really good conversations and a lot of new ideas for this project 😁

[Molecular Biology and Evolution @MolBioEvol]

The honorable mention for the MBE Best Student Paper award this year goes to @Georgette_F for her article, Genetic Load and Adaptive Potential of a Recovered Avian Species that Narrowly Avoided Extinction https://t.co/ViNfB6bASy @OfficialSMBE #science #evolution #smbe2024

[Daniela Robles @daniela-oaks.bsky.social @daniela_oaks]

Our own @paleogenomics @LIIGH_UNAM kicks of #SMBE2024 in #PuertoVallarta 🇲🇽, first time @OfficialSMBE is held in Latin America! Exciting, well done local organising committee 😍

Calico cats are not a breed of cats, but they have a distinctive orange and black color pattern linked to the X chromosome and its inactivation pattern! We think that’s just purrr-fect. 😺

New Preprint by @YileiHuang317 and with @ShaiCarmi:

Using IBD tracts in time transects boosts inferring effective population size trajectories. 📈🧬
We released this as a tool called TTNE, well-suited for the increasingly large aDNA time series.

[Jazlyn Mooney, PhD @Jazlyn_Mooney]

Another pre-print out. This one co-lead with @zszpiech and Sweetalana. Super fun project that explored another side of the data I used for my PhD work. Here,we asked whether ROH quantified as FROH were associated with non-disease traits in dogs

[Jazlyn Mooney, PhD @Jazlyn_Mooney]

First paper from the lab! Work with @Xinjun90 and led by super talented former @qbio_usc student @TessaFerrari. Stay tuned for a thread summarizing results.
