Happy to share our new paper "Inferring Species Trees" led by @scottvedwards.bsky.social, which overviews coalescent models and methods for species tree inference. 📚 doi.org/10.1016/B978...

Our new preprint @scottvedwards.bsky.social 🧬🐦 Long-read genomes show songbird germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs; expelled from somatic cells) are 70 % repeats and packed with active LTR retroviruses. A hidden reservoir for TE-driven innovation/diversification! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How do SVs, satellite DNA & gene content shape avian genome evolution? We analyzed 45 HiFi genomes across 3 Scrub-Jay species with distinct population sizes. Grateful to be on this incredible team led by Scott Edwards! "Comparative population pangenomes" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
