Top Tweets for #adapt2019
I'm twitting about the @OfficialSMBE satellite meeting on molecular adaptation. I've been using #adapt2019, but they organizers want #adapt19, so I will be switching for the rest of the talks. You can find the first two talks under the first tag.
Simianer: why not turn this on its head and use genomic change to map alleles responsible for the response to selection? Recently out in @GeneticsGSA https://t.co/hPL0WvW30n. Based approach on @JeremyJBerg and @Graham_Coop 2014 PLoS Genetics. #adapt2019
Henner Simianer: breeding assisted genomics. Marker assisted selection did not work. Forget QTL mapping. Now genomic selection using genome-wide predicted breeding value (BLUP). Works, 19-20% increase in efficiency #adapt2019

Lynch: believes that everything is under selection (e.g., not neutral) because there is always some energetic cost. The Q is whether things are effectively neutral b/c the cost is so low relative to effective population size. Eg cost of DNA insertion in euks vs bacs #adapt2019
Mike Lynch emphasizing that the fundamental components of population genetics vary by three orders of magnitude across the tree of life #adapt2019
