A few thoughts for the @newscientist.com about how recent research from the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social into selfish sperm tells us a lot about biological evolution – and even ourselves: www.newscientist.com/article/mg26... 🧪

Our next #GenomicsLite session is on next Wednesday at 3.30pm.

We start #Day3 of #CancerGenomeAnalysis Asia 🇹🇭 with a lecture by @erictdawson.bsky.social on how #mutation calling works and how to use the available tools. Bonus: we're all sporting new mustaches! @connectingscience.bsky.social

Yesterday we had great sessions on data formats (my section!), and talks on #Asian genomics by Sabari Radhakrishnan and Jia Wang. I closed with a discussion of #ethics in patient sample collection #CancerGenomeAnalysis @connectingscience.bsky.social

The so-called 'London Underground mosquito' linked to West Nile Virus evolved over 1,000 years ago — not 200 years ago in Europe. 🦟 New research reshapes our theories of urban mosquito evolution. 👇 http://bit.ly/4qnJOJi
