Happy Slim-ulating in Italy!!

Day 2 of SLiM workshop in Ancona!

[Josie Paris @josephine_paris]

Our preprint exploring the role of Ne and gene expression on purifying selection in penguins has been recommended by @PCIEvolBiol! Approaches can be extended to many non-model organisms, including using expression bins as a proxy for selection coefficients https://t.co/MHvpi0Zdsn

[PCI Evolutionary Biology @PCIEvolBiol]

Gene expression is the main driver of purifying selection in large penguin populations. bioRxiv, ver. 2 peer-reviewed and recommended by PCI Evolutionary Biology. https://t.co/eoopsrHCUR recommended by Bruce Rannala for @PCIEvolBiol… 🔽

[EmilianoTrucchi @emitruc]

...and we got recommended in PCI Evol Biol! https://t.co/DYZu6t5ftK. Check out our revised version with great add-ons by @Phylogenetrips. Main THM: purifying selection is effective even at rather small pop size on ca. half of the genes due to high gene exp = high sel coef

[Josie Paris @josephine_paris]

Our paper exploring gene expression adaptive responses in the Emperor penguin (EP)🧊🇦🇶🐧is out on bioRxiv! EPs breed in the harsh, dark Antarctic winters at temps <-45C! We identify genes involved in temperature homeostasis, fasting, and energy metabolism https://t.co/ZMOWkUbH5w

[Josie Paris @josephine_paris]

We have a new preprint quantifying the anti-correlation between selection and gene expression in King and Emperor penguins 🐧

New #HeredityPodcast: Life in the cold

In this episode, @emitruc and @CelineLeBohec discuss the genetic basis of cold adaptation in the emperor penguin.

[Pernille Nilsson @mspernille]

Happy to say that this paper is FINALLY out!! It's been a hard process and I am so thankful to all my co-authors and everyone else that stuck with me. @JentoftSissel @kjetillj @Mark_Ravinet @paulrbe @emitruc @PNASNexus https://t.co/pPjZXFW69l

[EmilianoTrucchi @emitruc]

..and structural analyses (by @mollab_univpm) of one of the candidate genes under selection, the noxious cold receptor #TRPM8, suggest tolerance for colder temperature in Emperor penguin! With @evolinus @silviafux @feteceh Pirri Le Bohec Perta Ancona Zane
