Our new preprint on designing and applying the first custom SNP array for a #frog is out now! 🤩🐸🧬
We then genotyped >900 Endangered corroboree frogs & looked at their population structure and diversity… with more exiting working coming soon 🤞

Are you interested in genome annotations? Do you want to work in Valencia, Spain. We have an open position at @IBMCP. Please contact me if you are interested or forward to who may you think that could be interested.
Nicolas Svetec, David Begun, and I wrote a review article about de novo genes. If you are interested in this topic please take a look at this final open-access version @AnnualReviews https://t.co/R8lybrezoq.
We are having an #urbanwildlife photo competition to support students in our #urbanevolution symposium at #SICB2025! Submissions will be printed & displayed at the venue all week, & we will auction them off at the end. Submit a photo and please share! https://t.co/nVr9SPwc1c
Thrilled to share: out now in @Nature (!) & just in time for US Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist. Fibular reduction enabled mid-drumstick mobility, unlocking extreme knee long-axis rotation in theropods 🍗🦖🧵 https://t.co/lmYRRU1TLl
1/📢 Exciting News! Using newly sequenced sea catfish genomes, we analyze signatures of selection across three major ecological axes within this clade. Our findings identify a heightened incidence of positive selection in marine-derived freshwater lineages. 🌊➡️🐟 #genomics
I am looking to hire a postdoc at Drexel to work on urban evolution and population genomics. The postdoc will be working with me on a multi-city study of urban lichens, but there are opportunities for independent work as well. Please spread the word: https://t.co/3iAnIFbWeP
Published in 2009, bwa-aln is one of the oldest short-read aligners. It remains a popular choice for aligning ancient DNA reads. The following blog post explains the algorithmic reasons. https://t.co/dhFrUtO0iE
#mapmixture news:
version 1.1.4 release includes some extra options to customise the admixture map and structure plots.
install from CRAN with install.packages("mapmixture"), requires R-4.2+ to be installed.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Look who we caught today! It’s a hatch year Eastern Towhee (born this year). A female would be brown and a male would be black, and this bird has female characteristics on one side and male on the other— a likely bilateral gynandromorph!!!
Hosting this @cshlbanbury meeting - Fulfilling the promise of @nanopore sequencing in education. My goal is a sequencer in every classroom, alongside the tools to achieve benefits and ethical practice. Biology education should prepare for the day when DNA sequencing is “free.”
when will they invent dna topoisomerase but for yarn/string/embroidery-floss, my stuff keeps getting supercoiled (no i will not simply start with a shorter working thread)
First time I get the cover of a magazine and it's in @Nature! Had this idea to illustrate the diversity captured by the MX Biobank across Mexico and brilliant designer @mauguz33 brought it to life inspired by indigenous Huichol art from near my home town. https://t.co/OHeBg9ZRzu
📢 rphylopic 1.5.0 🐈⬛ is now live on #CRAN!
