I am so excited to share new work on a TE insertion that regulates iridescence in swordtails, led by fantastic grad student @nadiahaghani.bsky.social and with help from many coauthors! In a time that has been so difficult to navigate, this & other projects have kept my spirits up: shorturl.at/NE65A

Alyssa Kaatmann will have a poster on developing cell lines and gene editing techniques in swordtails (111 at Poster Session 2)

@victoriabgrant.bsky.social will present on her work on the genomics of black footed cats (6/22 at 9:30 in Molecular Ecology I) @kelsiehunnicutt.bsky.social will be talking about new work on recurrent evolution of hybrid melanoma (6/22 at 12 PM in Hybridization II )

I won't be at Evolution this year, but check out awesome talks & posters from four lab members: Gabe Preising will present on the genetic basis of body size polymorphism in swordtails (6/21 at 4:30 PM in Sexual Selection III)

With @hybridzones.bsky.social & @jenncoughlan.bsky.social, we have been working on an update to Daven Presgraves' influential 2010 review on hybrid incompatibilities (shorturl.at/cJndf). The preprint is available here (shorturl.at/DTC48) with an updated table of almost 100 incompatibilities!

Very proud to share this outstanding work by @kelsiehunnicutt.bsky.social - now out in Genetics!
