Excited to share this preprint of my latest work with Judith Mank on sex-biased gene expression at single-cell resolution. Sex differences in cell type abundance can bias inferences of differential gene expression and patterns of selection! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sex-biased genes are often assumed to be the cause of sexual dimorphism, but what if they are just a result of it? The latest by Iulia Darolti - Sex-biased gene expression at single cell resolution: Causes and consequences of sexual dimorphism biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So pleased to see Lydia JM Fong 's first first-author paper from her PhD out GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) ! Evolutionary History of the Poecilia picta sex chromosomes. academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-ar… with Iulia Darolti David Metzger Yuying Lin Ben Sandkam

I'm so pleased to share the latest work from Yuying Lin! She found extensive variation in germline de novo mutation rate in guppies, with interesting implications about the genetic basis of rapid adaptation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with Iulia Darolti Wouter van der Bijl and Jake Morris!

Interested in the #evolution and #genomics of exaggerated sexual ornaments? ACCE DTP #PhD to work with me, @Jon_Slate, Steve Paterson & Andrew Pomiankowski More info here: findaphd.com/phds/project/a… Deadline: 8th May 📢Please RT!📢 Ecology and Evolutionary Biology #stalkeyedflies #singlecellRNAseq

What is the cause of sex-biased gene expression? Iulia Darolti used single cell RNASeq to determine the role of regulatory versus developmental differences in sex-biased genes and their evolution rates. Now out at @Evolutionletters! academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Sex-biased genes are thought to be key to the evolution of sexual dimorphism, but what if they are a consequence of it? Read more in a recent paper Evolution Letters by Iulia Darolti and Judith Mank! doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

How does variation in Y degeneration affect Fast-X Evolution? Very happy to see the version of record of Iulia Darolti 's awesome paper at Molecular Ecology! With Lydia JM Fong David Metzger and Ben Sandkam onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

For those headed to #evolution2023, you can catch up on what we've been doing! - Lydia JM Fong's talk about the Signature of Early Y Chromosome Divergence on the Guppy Sex Chromosome is on Saturday at 11:15 in Pecos 230... 1/5

Come catch my poster this afternoon at the San Paolo Cloisters (No 854) to chat about meiotic drive, flies and scRNA-seq. #SMBE2023

Deep learning reveals the role of copy number variation in the genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic sexual trait. Wouter van der Bijl did it all - selection experiment, pedigrees, neural nets, GWAS - for the architecture of color and pattern in guppies biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just out NatureEcoEvo - Alberto Corral-López 's tour de force! Functional convergence of genomic and transcriptomic genetic architecture underlying sociability. Heritability, GWAS and neuro-transcriptomics of collective behaviour nature.com/articles/s4155… w Niclas Kolm & many others.
