GWAS has been an incredible discovery tool for human genetics: it regularly identifies *causal* links from 1000s of SNPs to any given trait. But mechanistic interpretation is usually difficult. Our latest work on causal models for this is out yesterday: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short🧵:

How does population size shape the dynamics of structural variants across the genome? Check out our new paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

First paper from #TanguyMuller, PhD student in @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social: Population genomics of incipient allochronic divergence in an infamous moth. #WGS #demography #inbreeding #mutation-load #genome-scan onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We set out to investigate polygenic footprints of altitude adaptation in a moth species, but instead we uncovered a major selective sweep at genes often associated with insecticide resistance @prrnhd.bsky.social @schifanoalexandre.bsky.social @mgda76.bsky.social @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social

Congrats Sarah, @mafnoor.bsky.social, and team on such a cool paper!

In 2020, O Gaggiotti, J Goudet and I showed that Qst-Fst comparison was uncalibrated with high population structure. During her PhD with us, Isa do O developed LogAV: a method that accounts for any population structure while testing for local adaptation : journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants
