Here it is! Our paper that was build on my PhD. Thanks to the team for getting it all done and dusted 🤩

[Josie Paris @josephine_paris]

Really happy and very excited to trumpet our latest research on guppy colour polymorphism! We phenotyped and genotyped 4 ‘Iso-Y lines’, and found consistent genetic variance associated with a large haplotype on LG1. Suggests Y-autosome epistasis ♂️🧬🪢 https://t.co/TovUC5hpyh

@jimwhiting_sci Okay I’ll accept other days as well. Just beers please

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@jimwhiting_sci Tuesday night beers will need to be had at some point please!

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

This is exciting!! My first 1st author paper available as pre-print now! We looked into rapid genomic adaptation in experimental pops of guppies and found convergent evolution after just 8-10 generations 🐠🧬

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@NJWhite_Evo @Graham_Coop Same here! Very interesting talk

[Josie Paris @josephine_paris]

Hello #PGG54! I'm doing a talk at 1pm today on colour polymorphism in the gups! Come along to hear about a crazy tale of Y-autosome epistasis!

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@annamhew @popgroup Really enjoyed your talk today! Well done! 🍷

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

Hey fellow PopGroupers!
If you're interested in rapid genomic adaptation, come see my talk about our work on experimental guppy populations today! I can be found in session 1 at 14:30.
@popgroup #PGG54

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

I did it! I successfully defended my thesis today 🍾🎉

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

Yessss! Grab it while you can! Interested in fish evolution? There’s a PhD position available in our guppy lab. I’ve had a fantastic 4 years doing mine in this group, so would recommend!

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

Newest guppy paper!
And the first paper my name appears on!

[Jim Whiting @jimwhiting_sci]

So there's a lot more detail in the preprint obviously so looking forward to hearing what people think. All that's left is thank all those involved: @josephine_paris, @mvdz28, Paul Parsons (not on twitter, somewhere in the North), @PlantEvolution and @BonnieFraser8

No zero for me today. Thanks R, I much prefer 1.110223e-16 to 0.

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@DoriMatG That’s what we call Rt ;) Made my fair share of it over the last few years

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@Bas_Buddendorf Na al die jaren nog steeds in je bezit!

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@DoriekeMG Ha! I did that last month. Unfortunately they're all finished now. Another trip to London needs to be planned

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

@pietervanveelen Ja! Nog beter

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

When your correlations remind you of Luis Coelho's drawings

@jimwhiting_sci One of my favourite parts
