My knees tell me I’m aging—but do you also wonder what we can learn about aging by looking beyond humans? If you study aging in corals, duckweed, or other "unusual" systems, join us at @eseb2025.bsky.social to talk about aging outside the box! Abstract deadline: 5 May. eseb2025.com/call-for-abs...

Junior faculty job alert in Germany - Marine Evolutionary Genomics @geomarkiel.bsky.social / University of Kiel www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... Marine study system of your choice (no microbes, sorry…), excellent infrastructure and ship access, moderate teaching requirements, closing date 6 June

A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

📢 new paper alert for the primate and genomics nerds. telomere to telomere ape genomes. I led MHC annotations on this work w/ @biotobi.bsky.social and @meyerbritta.bsky.social And hey it’s my first nature paper 🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello Blue world! I recently migrated from the old Twitter as I got tired of the continuous bombardment of far-right propaganda. I intend to use this account mainly for scientific exchange with a pinch of politics. So, why not start with a summary of our recent paper? doi.org/10.1186/s130...

I just noticed this new header above the website of #MolecularEcologyResources. I'm sure that there are vast numbers of 'healthcare professionals' who will want to read our paper on MHC diversity in sticklebacks (😂), but what about the other few remaining scientsts? Just asking, @wiley.com ...

At the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics, Joana Meier is kicking off the second week with a talk on Hybridization – very much looking forward to this one!

Follow @wpsg.bsky.social to see all updates about our workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics! 🙌🏽🤩 #evomics2025

And it’s on! The Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics has started in Cesky Krumlov, with 61 participants and - as always - a great international faculty.

Excited to start the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics 2025 in Český Krumlov in just a few days! The WPSG team has started to assemble and prepare. @evomics.bsky.social

Excited to share my first paper with the Liedvogel lab @genmig.bsky.social at @ifv-whv.bsky.social: Together with @jpartecke.bsky.social from the @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and many others, we looked at the genetics of partial migration in blackbirds onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Are you interested in evolutionary epigenetics? After Evolution 2024 in Montréal, we created an Evolutionary Epigenetics Discord server for all things epigenetics - data analysis, events, job opportunities, etc. Interested? Message me for the link! 😄

You don't study speciation? That's okay! Here's why you should come to the Speciation GRC anyway: www.grc.org/speciation-c... Our goal is to bring together people studying adjacent topics: developmental bio, neurobio, behavior, ecology, mating systems, etc, to provide a fresh perspective...

📊 We're having a fantastic time diving into the Genomic Data Visualization in R course this week! 🎨✨ Our participants are mastering the art of turning complex genomic data into clear, compelling visuals using R. 🚀 #DataViz #Genomics #Rstats

🚨Job alert 🚨 I’m looking for a Postdoc to join us in Stockholm, on a project that aims to use palaeogenomics to investigate cold adaptation in several different Arctic animals! ❄️🧬❄️🧬❄️🧬❄️🧬❄️🧬❄️🧬 Please repost! Full advertisement is here: www.su.se/department-o...

This week I discussed some of my primate MHC work at SIB Conference for Evolution and Characterization of the Immune System in the Netherlands. The best part was acknowledging all the people and organizations that support this work including @biotobi.bsky.social @meyerbritta.bsky.social

Excited to be part of this effort with @biotobi.bsky.social and @meyerbritta.bsky.social. Here we led annotation of MHC I/II diploid haplotypes of six ape species. This is a huge advance for primate immunogenomics! I am currently adopting some of this for marmosets www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Always wondered how the immune system knows whom to fight? #PhD position in our lab to study evolutionary genetics of adaptive immunity in humans and/or fish. We use comput. and mol. approaches. Topic open, to be matched with student's interest/skills. #MHC #TCR www.uni-hamburg.de/en/stellenan...

So excited to see this massive project led by @ben-moran.bsky.social on ☠️ hybrid mitonuclear incompatibilities 🧬 in swordtails 🐟🗡️ out in Nature today! Here's the Research Brief we wrote, and see Molly's thread 👇 for all the amazing pieces of this paper | doi.org/10.1038/d415...

So glad our paper on lethal hybrid incompatibilities is out at Nature today: rdcu.be/dvFcM ! @ben-moran.bsky.social moved mountains for this project: we identified two new incompatibilities in swordtail hybrids , characterize mechanisms of lethality, and their evolutionary history.

Our Department at University of Lausanne is recruiting a tenure-track Assist. Prof. on microbial interactions linked to the nccr-microbiomes.ch Don't miss this opportunity to join a friendly, dynamic department in a city with hard-to-beat quality of life. Apply tinyurl.com/4k2mevax by Jan 31! 🧪

I like Asher Cutter’s “A primer of molecular population genetics” - an accessible & updated introduction to the subject. Or Graham Coop’s Population and Quantitative Genetics (freely available at github.com/cooplab/popg...) for those slightly more mathematically inclined.

Did you know that the haplotypes of a genome can be very different? You can find out this & more in the first preprint from my group, providing an annotated ref genome for Eurasian minnow, led by PhD students Temitope Oriowo & Ioannis Chrysostomakis biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #fishes #Phoxinus

New paper out in Molecular Ecology! "Molecular ecology of microbiomes in the wild: Common pitfalls, methodological advances and future directions" Was great co-writing this paper with other Mol Ecol microbiome editors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I am *thrilled* to finally announce that our department is hiring an Evolutionary Biologist. We are esp looking genetic/genomic expertise, and those who can help us build a more equitable biology community at UCSB. Please apply by Jan 15! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02635 #unicornjob
