The Church Evolution Lab (CEL@NYU) is hiring a postdoc! We have several new projects to study the genomic basis of biodiversity in model clades – especially Hawaiian Drosophila. apply.interfolio.com/179354 Come join our new group, you can study bugs and live in NYC! Feel free to share widely!

Have you ever wondered: just how strong *is* the evidence for Muller's ratchet on mtDNA? Well, wonder no more! (Project led by Yu Mo, with @smishra677.bsky.social and @yadirapga.bsky.social) "No molecular evidence for Muller's ratchet in mitochondrial genomes" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nguyen et al. used C. elegans as a model to study mitonuclear epistasis, leveraging genetic and phenotypic data to show that mitonuclear epistasis contributed significantly to phenotypic variance across all tested conditions. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf300 #evobio #molbio
