Our study of human MUTYH variants and their effect on germline mutagenesis is now out in Genetics Society of America! Final version includes new DNM calling methodology, plus mouse evidence that MUTYH perturbs the germline through a maternal effect on embryogenesis. academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…

The published version of the paper that goes along with Rob's awesome tutorial is now out: doi.org/10.1093/molbev… "The meaning and measure of concordance factors in phylogenomics"

New lab photo!

New paper led by Yadira Peña-García! Even though opossums have kids at 0.5 years, they still have typical male-biased mutation (though not quite as high as humans).

New paper with Megan Smith❗️ You can use paralogs to reduce long-branch attraction! This will be especially helpful when there are no extant taxa that can be sampled to break up these branches. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited to share our new preprint led by clara is @ramencult on bsky on a novel signature of selection in georeferenced genotype data: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

There's actually only one "female" bias, but I guess the added emphasis gets the point across...

Let's try this one more time, with the correct link! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

It's official--we're escaping for a year! Happy to say that we'll be on leave at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin from August 2025-July 2026. Looking forward to beer, travel, and scholarly learning ;)

Here is the published version of our paper (w/Sarthak R. Mishra) in Genetics: academic.oup.com/genetics/advan…
