Read the preprint: zenodo.org/records/1875...
(doi: 10.5281/zenodo.18750555). If you’ve had experience doing community-engaged genomics, I’d appreciate a short comment on what worked, what didn’t, or resources worth adding. #PopulationGenomics #CommunityEngagement #IndigenousData #Ethics 5/5

Reminder: we are looking for an enthusiastic post-doc and are still welcoming applications until mid-March to work in our team at @upvd.bsky.social ! #speciationresearch #orchidresearch #populationgenomics #multiomics #3Dphenotyping #transcriptomics #metabolomics #naturalpopulations

Finally published! We first uploaded this preprint in 2022 but dropped it after frustrating reviews.
It was well received and cited, motivating us to revisit it.
We added new content, including simulations and a proof-of-concept genomic green status assessment.

Acacia paradoxa has a broad SE Australian distribution, occurs across starkly different habitats, and has remarkably variable morphology. Here is a photo snapshot of some of the diversity captured during my honours field work.

A Beginner's Guide to Structural Variants in Eco‐Evolutionary Population Genomics Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has greatly expanded researchers' ability to study structural variants (SVs), that is, the variation in the presence, number, orientation or position of a DNA sequence.…

📢 I’m looking for a postdoctoral position in evolutionary genomics/phylogenomics.
Recently defended my PhD (Univ. of Tartu) and have experience in NGS data analysis, comparative genomics, and recent adaptation.
Happy to discuss ideas

Cartoon drawing. First panel has as title: Hard sweep: diversity much reduced. Second panel has as title: Soft sweep: diversity not much reduced. In the first panel a bold person with glasses, in their body there are circles representing viral particles, they take medication, most viral particles disappear, but one is able to resist and now the entire population looks like that one particle. The soft sweep panel has someone with curly hair. They also take drugs, two viral particles survive and now the viral population consists of two types.

Made a drawing to explain what a soft sweep is (and a hard sweep) in the context of drug resistance evolution in a viral population within a person's body.
Anyone teaching about selective sweeps? Feel free to use.

🌍 Why is the invasion of Vespula germanica in South Africa so slow compared to other regions?

We shows that two introduced populations occupy different ecological niches, structuring genetic variation and limiting spread. 🧬

Population structure in a fungal human pathogen is potentially linked to pathogenicity - Nature Communications Genetic diversity between clinical and environmental fungal isolates of Aspergillus flavus is poorly studied. Here, the authors analysed genomic data from a global set of clinical and environmental A. flavus isolates and report that clinical prevalence is associated with population structure.
