Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD w/ @justinmcrocker.bsky.social. We show that cell type-specific regulatory dominance promotes robustness and evolutionary innovation through interallelic transcriptional hubs, potentially expanding the mutational paths available to diploids. (1/18)

Heya science peeps, my first first-author paper is on Biorxiv! We show how transcriptome-wide expression variability in outbred animals responds massively to an environmental stressor and is underpinned by cryptic variability- (not just mean-) controlling alleles. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Inspired in this iconic Guarda course, a group of four Latin American researchers organized the South American version: #EvoSur. The masterminds behind this amazing idea: Paco Majic (Uruguay) @hhydrochaerus.bsky.social, Santi Herrera (Colombia), Caua Westmann (Brasil) and Ana Maria Agapito (Perú).

Con estudiantes y profesores de cada rincón de Nuestraamérica 🇧🇴🇵🇾🇧🇷🇦🇷🇪🇨🇨🇱🇻🇪🇨🇴🇺🇾🇵🇪, el taller EvoSur de biología evolutiva transcurrió la semana pasada con total éxito! Nos encontramos 34 personas —estudiantes, profesores y organizadores— en el balneario Playa Verde, Maldonado, Uruguay.

🔊 ¡Llamado a pensar la evolución desde el sur! Invitamos a estudiantes de maestría y doctorado en biología evolutiva de Sudamérica a postularse a EvoSur. 🧬 Un espacio para intercambiar ideas, debatir evolución y tejer redes científicas con todas las voces, todas: sites.google.com/view/evosur2...
