This is a really fun paper. The authors build a mathematical model to explain how the tulip breaking virus, or TBV, creates a stripe pattern on tulip petals.
The writing is elegant, and the paper combines history, mathematics, and lots of other good stuff. Recommend.
🚨 New paper published in... Nature 😱
I never thought that I would write these words, but here is a Nature-paper that I contributed to. We found global loss in genetic diversity. Conservation strategies may maintain or increase genetic diversity.

The #gnomAD v3 papers are now published! This includes the non-coding constraint paper (https://t.co/akE9LGWymJ) & inferring compound heterozygosity paper (https://t.co/1Gw1sTrxWI). Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this valuable work! (1/2)
Former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins covering Taylor Swift at the world’s largest human genetics and genomics conference. This is proof that I’ve lived as a scientist. 🧬 #ASHG2023
Our 11 yo dog Betty is leaking urine on a daily basis. Read about Rx DES and would like to avoid it. Interested in a natural remedy that will help her control her bladder. I see several online. Any recommendations? Thanks! #veterinarymedicine#DogsofTwittter
A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]
I couldn't donate blood today bc of low hemoglobin. As a consolation prize, they gave me this helpful handout about hemoglobin.
I was very surprised that the @RedCross claims normal hemoglobin levels are lower for healthy African Americans... 🧵
Congratulations to Genetics Graduate Program Alum, Nikale Pettie, PhD (2021), for recently getting published in PLoS Genetics as leading author. Way to go!
