Join our #MEEGene #seminar at @leibnizlib.bsky.social on zoom tomorrow, July 1, 3PM CEST (Berlin) and listen to Duilio Silva from the NIH, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, USA talking about " #Evolution of a mouse #selfishDNA" Email [email protected] for login details.

New preprint from the lab led by former masters student AJ Roussel in collaboration with Alexander Suh and @fjruizruano.bsky.social. We found a ~4-fold accumulation of a Neptune #transposon in asexually reproducing "F1" fish hybrids. An unexpected and fascinating finding! #TEsky

🦤🧬🧑‍🔬 Junior Group Leader in Conservation Genomics Wanted! 🪲🌿🔬 Help bridge gaps between evolutionary genetics & conservation with museum and monitoring collections. 🔗 Info: tinyurl.com/biodivgen ⏰ Deadline: June 15th 📩 Contact me! 🚀 Excited to explore new horizons! Please share 🕊️

The chance of the broccoli-headed fascists reaching NIH and destroying online NCBI tools and datasets we rely on isn't 0%, so it's worth making a list of the mirrors/alts offered by EMBL-EBI, etc that many of us (including me) are unaware of. #bioinformatics #genomics #biology #evosky #molevol

I am looking for a postdoc! Pls share #postdoc #genomics #insects #inversions genomicsofoutbreaks.com/?page_id=141

If you wish to be a PI and pursue a career in the related fields of chromosome biology this is the place for you! Great environment, colleagues and boss! Join us!

Finally verkko 2.0 is out! github.com/marbl/verkko Waiting for your bug reports;) My dream for 46 t2t scaffolds on the de novo human genome assemblies out of the box is still a dream, but for some samples we are really close.
