Destroying endangered Gouldian finch habitat for a housing estate exemplifies the self-destructive path Australia is choosing to take. Weโre allowing John Gouldโs legacy to go from a bird book to bulldozers.

Tired of waiting to cluster genomes?
Out now from our group, Neural ADMIXTURE clusters the entire UK Biobank (nearly half a million sequences, below) in hours for multiple Ks vs > a month for ADMIXTURE.

Attention potential postdocs!
We have decades of data on individual life histories & detailed pedigrees of a Threatened bird the #Floridascrubjay.
Rich datasets to investigate how climate change, meta population dynamics and dispersal ecology affect endangered spp. Please RT
I did my uni thesis on this case and I must say even then it sounded like her babies had an illness that was killing them. Iโm glad science has caught up and sheโs finally free.

In this preprint, I survey data archiving in ancient genomicsโI find widespread shortcomings, which hinder reproducibility and data reuse. I argue that we need to step up our collective archiving game in #aDNA genomics, with six practical recommendations:
