Very happy for having contributed to this research on giraffes evolutionary history! Congrats to all authors for the publication🦒🎉

In this preprint, Aylwyn Scally, Richard Durbin and I present evidence for deep population structure shared by all modern humans biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Aylwyn Scally Richard Durbin

Another paper on a large African mammal just got online! 🎉🎉🎉 This one was lead by Xiaodong Liu, Long Lin and Mikkel-Holger S. Sinding. Here, we explore the evolutionary history of black and blue wildebeests, and discuss consequences of disrupted migatory routes: nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

Check out our new preprint! We've developed a simulation-framework that allows users to explore under what circumstances one can detect epidemic-driven selection using standard selection scan methods like Fst & iHS. All comments are welcome & appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have a fully funded postdoc position open in my lab. The postdoc will get to work on a whole genome sequence based population genetics project focused on several Greenlandic land mammals. For details see tinyurl.com/2zae8zym. Application deadline is September 27. Please RT.

New paper out 🎉🎉🎉, lead by Xi Wang and Casper-Emil Pedersen, and the Population and Statistical Genetics Group at UCPH group, exploring gene flow and reproductive isolation in an African antelope speciation model: the waterbuck 📷Moremi GR, Botswana

I will be co-chairing the session on Plant Genome Applications next Tuesday October 1 at 14 CET, together with Katja Reichel Katja Reichel and Katie Herron! We will be talking about our genome assembly projects and its applications followed by an open discussion.

We find that #impala is a potential paradox of evolutionary stasis. A lineage that is static may be assumed to be so because of various processes leading to absence of sub-populations. However we find evidence of high population structure in impalas onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Very happy to see our work on impala's population genetics published! 🎉This was the first project I started working on during my PhD. See thread by co-author Dr. Laura Bertola with the main findings and beautiful impala photos

New #BGE case study!👇 Thyme's diverse chemotypes provide adaptation to different habitats, and climate change drives shifts in these traits. A new #referencegenome will help protect this diversity and support ecosystems. Visit:biodiversitygenomics.eu/2024/10/21/map… Genís Garcia Erill European Research Executive Agency
