Starting off the new year with great news. I’m officially a G. Evelyn Hutchinson Postdoctoral Associate at the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies. I’ll be working with both the Skelly and Munoz labs on the genomic basis of adaptation to climate change, and other topics. Exciting times ahead! 🧬🐸🦎

Using a high-quality timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) genome, researchers found highly duplicated Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes in rattlesnakes, demonstrating a complex evolutionary history marked by extensive duplication and loss during speciation. 🧪

I'd like to encourage folks to publish their code. Not only does it make studies more transparent and reproducible, but it also increases citation rates! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures began in 1825 in London at the direction of Michael Faraday. They were an opportunity to bring the general public to hear a lecture by an eminent scientist that captures the imagination. They've been held every year since, except for 4 years during WWII.

I guess I am one of the few. We for sure need effective parameters in pop gen. But the idea that there is one scalar that will capture the complexity of population genetics and then can be used for the species as a whole and for every question is bonkers. And has been really damaging imo.

Do mutations that drive evolution improve many traits or few? Does this change over the course of evolution? Excited to share our work in PLOS Biology exploring these questions in the first 2 adaptive steps w/ Yuping Li, @gsherloc.bsky.social, @petrovadmitri.bsky.social 🧵 doi.org/10.1371/jour...
