Our new paper doi.org/10.1098/rspb... on long-term genetic threats to small populations finds that "mutational meltdown" (bad mutations fixing) is less of a problem than "mutational drought" (too few good new mutations) @wmawass.bsky.social @uliseshmc.bsky.social @jeremyjberg.bsky.social 1/5

Very happy to announce a big new paper from the lab, led by grad students @smishra677.bsky.social and Laia Pomar-Pallarès (in collaboration with @roblanfear.bsky.social). We introduce a new way to study introgression, with accompanying software (DAFT) 1/n 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I wrote lectures about DE-EXTINCTION for my human evolution and anthropological genetics courses and have been really popular with students so I decided to turn it into a very long 🧵 I'll post everything as replies here but will try to break into bite size pieces and retweet as I go:

Gu et al. leveraged hundreds of genomes and mitogenomes of the African white-bellied pangolin, uncovering the evolutionary history of this species and indicating the need for urgent attention and priority conservation action. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag049 #evobio #molbio

Totikov et al. present a comparative and phylogenomic study of the Mustelinae, uncovering striking variation in genome-wide heterozygosity and genome size, marked homozygosity in some Asian lineages, and remarkable diversity in widespread species. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag014 #genome #evolution
