SINGER, our ARG inference method, is finally published and freely available online: doi.org/10.1038/s415... It was a long journey – 16 months from initial submission to acceptance. Is it just me, or has peer review gotten more arduous lately? 4+ rounds of review isn't so unusual these days...

Our review on the last decade+ of hybrid incompatibility research is now out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Original thread here: bsky.app/profile/moll...

New research from Priya Moorjani's lab offers insights into India’s genomic legacy. Postdocs @lauritsskov.bsky.social and @ekerdoncuff.bsky.social traced Indian's ancestry to three main sources. Read the findings in this story by grad student Jules Perez: bit.ly/3IK46vh

It’s been 25 years since the UCSC Genome Browser launched. Nature profiles how the website remains an essential tool for navigating the genome and understanding its structure, function, and clinical impact. #Academicsky 🧬 🧪

Genomes from people across modern-day India shed light on 50,000 years of evolutionary history. http://dlvr.it/TLbY4F @ekerdoncuff.bsky.social & colleagues @[email protected]

A new analysis of Indian genomes helps untangle these groups’ complex evolutionary history, uncovering a 50,000-year history of genetic mixing and population bottlenecks that shaped genetic variation, health and disease in South Asia. news.berkeley.edu/2025/06/26/s...

The university of California is a powerhouse of innovation, healthcare, and social mobility for California and the US.

We ( @zeniabaek.bsky.social @moicoll.bsky.social and @asgerhobolth.bsky.social ) present a new cool way to visualize the optimal trade off for hmm decoding called Artemis plots! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Why do Polynesians gave high risk of metabolic disease? Dang Liu tests the thrifty genotype vs population adaprive patterns (considering % Austronesian & Papuan ancestries), demographics (strong bottleneck in Eastern Polynesians!). Results: both!! BMI thrifty, HDL & others under drift & more!! 🤩

Proud to see our work cited as part of these big discoveries ! 🧬🌏

Evolution instructors! I'm adding 'Make an evolution meme' to the extra credit opportunities in my class this semester. I know I've seen some great examples of student-generated memes on here - can you share some of your favorites so I can give them examples of what I'm looking for?

PhD opportunity in computational population genetics at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig: Join our fully funded project to develop IBD-segment tools, connecting high-quality genomes from 500 Black Death victims to modern Europeans. 🌍💻🧬 Please spread the word! 📢🙌 #aDNA #PopGen www.eva.mpg.de/de/karriere/...

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Join Harald Ringbauer and I to learn about "Haplotype-based methods and frameworks for inference of evolutionary history" at #SMBE2024 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, July 7-11! 🧬🌐💻 Invited Speakers: @amygoldberg.bsky.social and Pier Palamara Submit your abstracts by March 15th at smbe2024.org #SMBE24
