Detectability of runs of homozygosity is influenced by analysis parameters and population-specific demographic history

Happy to have this side project out reporting on aneuploidy in a Southern right whale. Check it out!

Excited to share our new paper on the impacts of inbreeding on North Atlantic right whales https://t.co/IaqU9qgfEZ
@RWGenome @GenomeAtlantic @tfrasierDNA and thanks to @rushdhill for the amazing artwork

GATK 4.6.0.0 reverts back to ./. for no-calls instead of 0/0 with DP=0 https://t.co/DS12ljeWgC

#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽#SOSBudget2024

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.

Very sad news for science and Canada in in particular. One could not go through grad school in EEB in Canada and not somehow be influenced by #LouBernatchez. My condolences to those near him.

Congratulations to @Crossman_C, @MikaFontaine1, and @tfrasierDNA on their newest publication! Check out our website for a summary of the paper as well as answers to some FAQ's about this research! https://t.co/vyqfMpDb04

Excited to announce the first paper from the @RWGenome Project in collaboration with @MikaFontaine1 providing evidence of long-term small effective population size & low genetic diversity in North Atlantic right whales based on WGS data in @MolEcology

@acgerstein @CSEE_SCEEmtgs @beepeg2023 I had 10 rapid tests and extra masks ready to go! I’m so sad to be missing this. Have a great time!

Walkouts for better early career researcher funding are happening across Canada!

Inflation has eaten away at the scholarships, fellowships, and grants over the last 20 years. It’s time for change @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau #SupportOurScience

[Support Our Science @SupportOurSci]

Support Our Science Nationwide Walkout is TODAY! This is a protest to @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau's #budget2023! SOS is advocating for increased federal investments in scholarships, fellowships & grants to support increased pay for grad students & postdocs #SupportOurScience 1/5

[Carla Crossman @Crossman_C]

@acgerstein Thank you!!! This makes me so happy

[Carla Crossman @Crossman_C]

@smuhalifax Follow @RWGenome to learn more about the project!

[Right Whale Genome Project @RWGenome]

It was wonderful getting to meet with everyone in person @smuhalifax last week to discuss recent updates on the #RightWhale #GenomeProject. Lots of exciting research happening with this group! @GenomeAtlantic @GenomeCanada @NEAQ

@SethRudman @ksamuk @Emily_L_Behrman @RobUnckless @gutbacteria I had an ethyl alcohol permit from BC liquor commission and bought it through the liquor stores. Not sure how that works elsewhere

[Carla Crossman @Crossman_C]

Our paper using epigenetics to assess stress in killer whales came out today! Check it out: https://t.co/6i5IHyPiBM

Thrilled to see our collaborative paper led by @phillipmorin4 featuring the use of GTseq & microhaplotypes on poor‐quality samples to resolve population genetic structure in the North Pacific harbor porpoises https://t.co/Mj6FkJnP2R
