Evolutionary biology: genetic and non-genetic. Interested in how variable environments select for unique and unexpected coping mechanisms.

the moral of this story: when life gives you lemons, consider inbreeding them for 10 generations to see if anything interesting happens

@Weather_West Solid couple of weeks for the cascades

@BenPaulos @TaplinTerry I live nearby and noticed that the church is active for about 3 hours on Sundays, with ~5 cars in the lot. So not inactive, but close. Would love to see if they’re interested in using it as a pay-lot or giving any access to the space instead of it sitting vacant 99% of the week.

@DavidBLyons2 @nanopore You can detect all contexts, but you have to run the analysis using megalodon or bonito on the command line, and not on minknow itself (yet). Although I know it is in the works to get the all context model up and running on minknow.

@fordham_dan @nanopore Watching the bimodal distribution of read sizes form while running adaptive sampling is as close to living in the future as you can get

[Jack Colicchio @Methylflower]

@nanopore Good stuff! Would love to see a comparison between it and the new all context Megalodon models 👍

@NWSSanDiego Didn’t get one, but seemed like less than 100 feet visibility for a bit. Also, the rain the radar is showing along the 15 near the CA/NV border is definitely NOT making it anywhere close to the ground.

[Jack Colicchio @Methylflower]

@Graham_Coop Lovely! Hope those early rains will be enough and everybody is able to produce some seeds before the soil gets too dry 🙏

@nanopore Can’t wait for non-CG methylation calling remora models 🙏🌱

A growing number of Americans are starting to factor climate change into their decisions about where they live.

New paper alert! Led by @Methylflower @hammozygosity and Ben Blackman. We look at heterogeneity across the genome in pop structure in Mimulus guttatus along a rugged landscape in the Cascades using semi-low coverage WGS

@DavidBLowry @inaturalist Fingers crossed some respectable rains come through these next couple of months or it will be a pretty sad flowering season. Still, if you want someone to do some recon let me know 👍
