Job alert:
NOAA NWFSC & UW are looking for a postdoc (ASAP) in Seattle study foraging ecology of Cook Inlet beluga whales using eDNA. Genetics/ecology/eDNA experience preferred. Interested candidates reach out to kim.parsons@noaa.gov or rpkelly@uw.edu directly. #eDNA #ConsGen

Very interesting new preprint on detecting genome wide signatures of balancing selection (it’s hard, and we probably miss lots of them) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Want to study the genomics of repeated adaptation with data from hundreds of species? New funding for non-Canadians @ grad or postdoc level. Internal competition at UCalgary with very short deadline so please get in touch ASAP!!

The missing data problem in population genomics and statistical methods to address them The “Missing Data” problem is prevalent across all statistical inference, owing to the “absence of some part of a familiar data structure” (Efron 1994). Po

I wrote a short op-ed in @genetics-gsa.bsky.social G3 this month’s issue on missing data problems in population genomics that I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years. Lemme know your thoughts! Comments/suggestions/ideas welcome! doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...

A new year is here and there’s just 10 days to apply for the new #SEA4FUTURE #S4F #postdoc position to work with us on #eDNA and #Sustainability of #Mediterranean #Fisheries (link below!)

Genes, fish and fisheries—a journey from science to policy Abstract. This essay outlines a personal scientific journey in molecular ecology and evolution, with particular focus on marine fish and fisheries genetics

A fascinating journey through the development of #FisheriesGenomics in Europe. 🧪🧬🐟

I might actually make it, this time!

Such cool work!! 🦈🧬🧪

Detail from Figure 1 of the linked preprint: a diagram contrasting the two weasel morphs, one of which is brown in summer and white in winter, and the other of which is brown all year; with images of weasels in both forms of winter coat; and then nucleotide and amino acid sequences for the two MC1R variants underlying the two coat types

These weasels have locally adapted their winter coats to varying snow cover thanks to a million-year-old mutation 🌿
