  1. Biello et al. present the first whole-genome analysis of Mediterranean fin whales, showing that although these form a distinct genetic cluster, they are not fully isolated from North Atlantic populations.

  7. Hi everybody,

    I am pleased to share with you my latest work in collaboration with Augustin Cléssin and Nicolas Lartillot:

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a process that distorts the segregation of heterozygous AT:GC polymorphisms during meiotic #recombination. This genome-wide non-Mendelian segregation has been shown to be a major source of #genetic load, earning the nickname of “Achille’s heel” of #genomes. (1/2)

  9. Hello everyone,

    I'm glad to share this preprint:

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    PRDM9 is a gene that determines the location of most meiotic #recombination events through local histone methylation in humans and mice. It is also one of the fastest evolving gene in mammals.

    In this preprint, we show that its molecular function in #meiosis is the same in salmonids!

    This suggests that PRDM9's rapid #evolution has been going on for hundreds of Mys.

  10. Hello Mastodon people,

    I wanted to mention that I have a new preprint out on bioRxiv:

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    I think it could be really useful for people interested in the consequences of #Recombination on #Genome #Evolution, but more generally in interpreting DFEs, positive selection and dN/dS.

    I will take the time to make a thread once the final paper is published (I hope it will).

    For those who will take the time to read it, don't hesitate to give me feedback 😊

    High prevalence of Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in placental #mammals

    This work was done in collaboration with @djivanprentout Alexandre Laverré, Théo Tricou and @duret_lbbe. (1/8)

  21. Anyone out there in #PopGen #Populationgenomics #RNAseq or #Molecular biology have any leads on where to buy duplex-specific nuclease? Main provider is a Russian and unavailable to most because of sanctions. I have not been an alternative supplier or enzyme. Please boost!

  22. In 3 weeks, our #Conservation paper has 687 full-text reads! (Incl. ones on researchgate).

    I think one of the strengths is using #ProbabilisticProgramming for small populations, letting us do #GWAS and #PopGen better and providing useful estimates back to the conservation practitioners. Lots of other strengths too (high-quality SNP calling) and correcting the record of analyses based off of incomplete genome annotation!

  27. Last week, I updated #adegenet on #CRAN. This is an important update as it fixes a memory overflow problem for SNP data that has existed since 2016.

    If you use #PopGen packages that import adegenet (e.g. #poppr, #vcfR, or #dartR), then you should update.

  32. I gave a PopGen Vienna seminar last week. I was impressed by the quality and depth of the discussions I had the all day with all the students of the program. Thank you very much.

  35. Any user of ANGSD on here has a trick to obtain the exact same set of sites per population when making subsets of individuals?
    I can never retrieve the same sets and it is extremely annoying! This is basic popgen stuff.
    The bare minimum would be to output missing data for sites impossible to analyze in this pop, so that output files can align between analyses.
    (I use -sites without any filters)

Zach Hensel and I found out that Bloom's claim relied on the deliberate omission of a January 30, 2020 collection date contradicting his narrative. 🧪 #PopGen
