Informal survey of published or unpublished Marine Population Genomics Datasets due March 23. We aim to develop a resource that researchers can use to find collaborators, develop grant proposals, and find datasets. 🦑🧪🧬🖥️ forms.gle/baUNh1s8gapG...

🧬New genotyping tools for European forest trees🌲genomic data of 7220 trees from 301 GCUs of 23 species🌳over 1.8 million SNPs discovered covering ⁓50 Mb of DNA sequence!!!!! You can find all this (and much more) in the latest @forgenius-eu.bsky.social paper just published in @molecology.bsky.social!

Genomic basis for resistance to acute oak decline and mildew infection in English oak https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.04.709495v1

Excited to share our new Science paper on American chestnut restoration. >10 years of collaboration with TACF, Hudson Alpha, and a community of scientists, students, and staff. Thousands of GBS and WGS libraries and so many hours of HPC wrangling... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This isn't shortread data, but alignments of genome assemblies with N50 > 100Mb. The plot is the # of bp per 100Kb window that are dropped because of missing data -- because those bp physically are not there in one of the other 25 genomes. This is what normal plant genomes look like, folks.

Happy Darwin Day!

Hi all! I’m looking for a postdoc or research collaboration in evolutionary genomics. I have been doing a lot of work on adaptation (local and global) for the past few years. I am particularly interested in studying these processes through repeated systems and comparative genomics.

I'll be reviewing applications for this in a few days, so there's still time to get touch if you're interested.

University of Calgary is hiring a tier I CRC professorship in crop genomics. Come work in one of the most beautiful corners of the world! careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/1668764...

I am happy to share my second paper with @samyeaman.bsky.social and collaborators! If you are into hybrid zones and tree genomics, this is for you! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just out in Science: we demonstrate a micro-evolutionary shift in a single generation, involving thousands of genomic loci, giving younger ash trees more resistance to ash dieback, on average, than their parents www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp2990

Are you interested in the genomic basis of repeated adaptation? The RepAdapt group now has >70 members working to re-run their whole genome shotgun datasets through a common SNP calling pipeline, sharing VCFs, and working together to analyse data. Please contact me if you'd like to contribute!

We still have a few spots left for the GRC Ecological & Evolutionary Genomics meeting in Tuscany this summer (July 13-18). Lots of great speakers already lined up, and we'd love to hear from you! www.grc.org/ecological-a...

Help us restore the American elm 🌳 Looking for a master student interested in genomics and urban forestry 🧬

New plant adaptation research from @samyeaman.bsky.social and his team: ucalgary.ca/news/plant-a...

Gabriele's paper is out in PNAS! He found a large number of genes with repeated sweeps in multiple plant species. Most interestingly: they tend to be peripheral in co-expression networks (low pleiotropy), consistent with mig-sel theory!! @gabnocgenomics.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I am loving the @evolletters.bsky.social cover by G. Moggioli. This issue has 3 articles about the Darwin-Bateman paradigm. Lehtonen & Parker doi.org/10.1093/evle... provide theory, w/ comments by @timjanicke.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/evle... and Mokos et al. doi.org/10.1093/evle...
