New study from the Lab! Jinyang Liang assesses the possibility of inferring ancestral alleles (aka allele polarization) without outgroup sequence, using the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) alone. Here are some of our findings. (1/5)

The call for PhD positions at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology is now open, including one in my group! www.evolbio.mpg.de/3017297/appl.... If you are interested in playing with ancestral recombination graphs, please reach out!

(3/3) Check out details here pallareslab.github.io/bionoise2025... - We have only 40 spots, so register soon! @smbmathbiology.bsky.social

(2/3) Come to Tübingen to discuss this with us! We are hosting an SMBE Satellite Meeting on the 'Origin, Maintenance, and Evolution of Biological Noise' in June 2025. Co-organizers: Julien Dutheil, Nacho Bravo, and Dan Weinreich.

(1/3) Ever wonder if there is anything in common between people studying #plasticity, #variability, #robustness, #bethedging, #variance, error-prone #molecularmechanisms? Might we all be thinking about different manifestations of Biological Noise? @official-smbe.bsky.social @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social
