This work is now out in PLOS Genetics! https://t.co/K3Fw82AqXo

We have a new and improved version of our manuscript on stickleback spermatogenesis. Based on some helpful peer reviewers, we highlight two new discoveries related to the young (ish) sex chromosomes. https://t.co/QFmbDlnrjj

Lastly, we added analyses to bolster our main claim, that there is no meiotic silencing on the stickleback sex chromomes. To do this, we compared our cell types across multiple single cell datasets from other fish and experimented with diverse clustering algorithms and software.

Secondly, we show that while the X chromosome does not show a strong pattern of the faster X effect overall, testis X-linked genes do show faster coding evolution than autosomes, providing more evidence that the faster X effect is stronger in male specific genes.

@ChingHoChang Congrats Ching-Ho!!

We have a new preprint out investigating sex-linked gene expression across stages of spermatogenesis in stickleback fish. and how meiotic expression has shaped the evolution of the recently derived sex chromosomes. https://t.co/3zF87niRCT

Hey #evolution2024 I am recruiting a postdoc, starting as early as September 2024, to work on a variety of evolutionary genomics projects in my lab at UC Riverside. Project specifics are flexible, and the position is renewable up to five years. Please RT and get in touch!

"Our results suggest that hybridization can significantly influence the recombination landscape, and that the reduction in allele shuffling contributes to the initial purging of introgression in the generations following a hybridization event." https://t.co/LUVDXzPZWF

The lab is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to work on the historical and contemporary population genomics of invasive capeweed! Collaborative work with @shaky_dingo , Tim Conallon, Akane Uesugi, and Allan Ellis, please share on whatever platforms are cool! https://t.co/Bwmgval9Dm

Now available in print format! And approved by my mom.

Lab trip to collect stickleback fish in Washington was a huge success!

[Daniel Shaw @dna_shaw]

We also discuss the most recent approaches of assembling complex Y and W chromosomes and highlight some future directions of studying sex chromosome evolution.

[Daniel Shaw @dna_shaw]

Check out our review paper! We examined empirical studies on sex chromosomes from many species in the context of the recent theoretical focus on cis-regulatory evolution on the X and Y.
