New work led by Zoë Humphries and @bmsacchi: When things are bad they get even worse! We assembled and characterized the rapid genome evolution and extensive degeneration in young Y chromosomes that arose in a repetitive region of low recombination biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please RT! Fully funded 4-year PhD opportunity in my lab @biouea UEA Norwich Research Park studying sexually antagonistic genetic variation in flies via quantitative genetics, transcriptomics, genomics and phenotyping. Deadline 20 Nov 2023. Informal inquiries welcome!

This is so smart, it was way too stressful for me to get a US visa for Evolution 2023, glad to see some change happening!

Yay rumex phylogenomics!

Now out! New work led by @bmsacchi and Zoë Humphries, with colleagues from University of Toronto EEB @cageftoronto and Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Acad. Sci. - TE invasion and gene loss happen on Y chromosomes with pre-existing recombination suppression, along with very high rates of rearrangement academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

@bmsacchi Meng Yuan 袁梦 Will be speaking about testing for genetic trade-offs in expression between the sexes and life stages (sporophyte and gametophyte) Sunday at 12:00 in 524B

Come say hi!

Symposium dinner with folks working on various kinds of genetic trade-offs. Thanks for organizing!! Luke Holman Karl Grieshop #Evol2024

Old friends and new 🤝🏻❤️ #Evol2024

I am interested in recruiting PhD students in the area of plant ecological genetics! Potential topics include ecological genomics in Arabidopsis, morning glory, or ragweed; plant-microbe interactions; or new topics at the intersection of quant gen and pop gen.

Check out our new preprint "Cis-regulation of gene expression between sexes and life stages in Rumex hastatulus" with John Stinchcombe Stephen I. Wright et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
