Towards a better understanding of adaptation: Problem description, partial solutions, and recommendations

Fascinating paper on the processes underlying adaptation and its evolution. Arose from an interdisciplinary workshop I participated in - our group worked primarily on the conceptual framework (Fig. 2). Thank you to the organisers and Pim Edelaar for the write up!

Genetic architecture and mechanisms of host-microbiome interactions from a multi-cohort analysis of outbred laboratory rats - Nature Communications The intestinal microbiome is shaped by genetics and environment. Here, the authors show in rats that host genetic effects, including indirect social effects, influence microbiome composition, identify...

Do you work with rats?

We are genetically predicting behavior, gene expression and other traits in outbred rats. We call it #RATTACA because it’s like the movie GATTACA except it’s not evil. Learn more about how you can use RATTACA at our booth #3925 at #sfn25.
