First paper from the lab! Work with Xinjun Zhang and led by super talented former USC QBIO - The 21st Century Biology Education student Tessa Ferrari 🏳️‍🌈. Stay tuned for a thread summarizing results.

Another pre-print out. This one co-lead with @zszpiech and Sweetalana. Super fun project that explored another side of the data I used for my PhD work. Here,we asked whether ROH quantified as FROH were associated with non-disease traits in dogs

New Preprint by Yilei Huang and with Shai Carmi: Using IBD tracts in time transects boosts inferring effective population size trajectories. 📈🧬 We released this as a tool called TTNE, well-suited for the increasingly large aDNA time series. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Calico cats are not a breed of cats, but they have a distinctive orange and black color pattern linked to the X chromosome and its inactivation pattern! We think that’s just purrr-fect. 😺

New preprint also dropped on bioRxiv today. This work was spearheaded by awesome former USC QBIO - The 21st Century Biology Education undergrad Julie Li alongside @_ellie_cat with sims courtesy of Tessa Ferrari 🏳️‍🌈 and software incorporation from Michael and Ellie

Our own @paleogenomics LIIGH kicks of #SMBE2024 in #PuertoVallarta 🇲🇽, first time Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution is held in Latin America! Exciting, well done local organising committee 😍

Penn State Biology is looking for a Tenure Track Evolutionary Genomicist. We are a welcoming and supportive community - come work with us! Penn State Eberly College of Science Read more here: tinyurl.com/599td3nj #blackinstem #latinxinstem #indigenousinstem #diversityinstem #lgbtSTEM #womeninstem

This is now published in Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s4159…. The survey is expanded to 42 studies, and the paper now includes a Box 1: "Step-by-step best practices for archiving ancient genomics data in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)." I hope this will prove useful!

Our preprint looking at the impact of stabilizing and directional selection on the prediction of complex traits in ancient samples is out. This work was spearheaded by Valeria Añorve-Garibay in collaboration with Mashaal Sohail and Emilia Huerta .

Very excited to (virtually) attend #EESHuman! 💀🧬 Off to a great start with a talk by Nobel Laureate Svante Pääbo. Hoping to see some of the posters over here (for those of up streaming from across the Atlantic) and to connect with people 😁
