Look at this great postdoc opportunity! 😁 Come work with us on cannabis genetics and flowering time diversity in beautiful Vancouver (and help reduce cannabis' humongous carbon footprint, since you are at it). Also, new website! https://t.co/0nuN6AbVkd

Excited to share our new paper in @PNASNews, "The genomics of linkage drag in inbred sunflower lines"! 🌻 We examine wild introgressions' effects on cultivated sunflower, revealing pros & cons. https://t.co/cNghGZtiF0 🧬🌾 #SunflowerGenomics #CropImprovement #LinkageDrag

Cool genomic study

[Kaichi Huang @hkchi12]

We are soliciting nominations for this year’s HSP. Email me if you know any cool papers published by #youngResearcher (eg yourself) in MolEco

[Molecular Ecology @molecology]

📢 Nominations are now open for the Harry Smith Prize, which recognizes the best paper published in Molecular Ecology in the last year by graduate students or early career scholars. See link for details and apply by 31 Mar!

More inversions, and locally-adapted inversions showing little evidence of deleterious mutations

[Kaichi Huang @hkchi12]

Mind-blowing!

[Yun S. Song @yun_s_song]

Zero-shot prediction of non-coding variant effects using a DNA language model. Terrific work done by my talented PhD students @gsbenegas and @sanjitsbatra

[Marco Todesco @MarcoTodescoCnv]

So, lots more wild sunflower & cannabis genetics, genomics, mol/dev/evol biology and ecology to come, with the goal of understanding plant diversity and adaptation, and how to make more resilient and sustainable crops 🌻🌿🧬🥳 (positions soon available, if anyone is interested)

[Kaichi Huang @hkchi12]

Very cool study! Congrats, Ben! Also a super nice case of mining @Team_eBird data - esp the method to define species elevational ranges

[Ben Freeman @BenGFreeman1]

We analyzed 4.4 million @Team_eBird records to find out why tropical birds live in narrow slices of mountainside

You won’t BELIEVE what we found

Out today in #ScienceResearch

Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra. As tasty as other cultivars of B. oleracea

The potato pan-genome epitomized the power of section-wide pan-genomics in dissecting tuber evolution, providing vital insights for hybrid potato improvement, and building a feasible framework of pan-genome studies that can be followed by other crops.

@SigmaFacto @OhioState Congrats! Wish you all the best!

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@yanivbrandvain Introducing with full term + parenthesized acronym used in rest of paper can work well: helps readers and web-searchers(!), esp. for rarer (here, MCMC, DMI, and even MHC) and/or jargon-ambiguous (IBD, IBS, anything matching a gene name) acronyms.

[Molecular Ecology @molecology]

Molecular Ecology Resources welcomes papers for the Special Issue 'OMICS TOOLS FOR
SPECIES CONSERVATION'. Deadline: November 27th 2022.
