Our new work, led by @molivarina, characterises unanticipated cellular complexity in plant roots, revealing an environmentally-responsive transcriptional state that modulates cell identities during root development

Indeed, “In Drosophila melanogaster alone, polymorphism levels have now been estimated using restriction fragments for at least nine genes”
(Kreitman & Hudson, 1991) 2/2

Some things just don't change... “Recent technical
developments in molecular biology have led to a surge of
interest in the use of gene frequency data to test
theories of genetic variation.” 1/2

The https://t.co/BglLOzZNhu website was down, I just put it back online. Comes with this work: https://t.co/9mmTtovf6N
If anybody is interested in giving a hand to keep this database updated, don't hesitate to reach out.

Our newest paper about selection on gene expression plasticity during thermal adaptation of city anoles to urban heat islands is out in @NatureComms! Special thanks to co-authors @JonVelotta and @Kmwinchell, who are always incredible to work with. https://t.co/fNvEP7gGmW

Happy to release Stacks v2.60. Three major changes + bug fixes:
https://t.co/YUjfMnjJpg
In the populations program we:
1) reimplemented bootstrapping to generate p-values
2) added chromosome/scafffold lengths to VCF header exports
3) reduced memory usage by ~60%

Bloomberg reports the claim of the first child born following polygenic screening as an embryo, via a company called Genomic Prediction.

Basically a test that rank orders embryos by health using genome wide profile 🧵

Our lab @lh3lh3 develops a single-sample phased assembler combining @PacBio HiFi and Hi-C, which has been heavily tested for human and non-human samples (https://t.co/s7zc5rbII5). We believe haplotype-resolved assembly for every diploid individual is becoming real before our eyes

NOA arrived and it's finally official - I'm beyond thrilled that my NIH K99/R00 is awarded!! Truly grateful and many thanks to everyone who supported me along this path. Stay tuned about my upcoming work on dominance inference with @lohmueller and Sriram Sankararaman at UCLA!

Seems like a good day to share that this fall I’ll join superstar @SCampbellstaton at Princeton as a postdoc!

Super excited to continue our #DreamTeam collaboration on #UrbanEvolution in #anoles

(I’m jumping very high in this pic but clearly need to work on my highfive skills)

[Xinjun Zhang @Xinjun90]

Super happy to see our Denisovan-EPAS1 work officially out on PNAS! Compared to the earlier preprint, we made substantial improvement to the ABC inference, see below: (1/4)
