Great write up of our study showing that both extrinsic factors (e.g. habitat availability) and intrinsic traits (e.g. body mass and diet) play important roles in shaping patterns of genomic diversity in birds 🦜 🧬 🌏

Effective population size is a key ingredient in indicators used to monitor genetic #biodiversity – and a fundamental concept in population genetics.
But what is it, really? 🧬 We try to explain in our new blog post ⬇️

The focus of the post is the study of the origin, evolution and/or effects of human genetic variation that shapes health and disease.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our scientific community in the heart of London.

I've been developing a new python package that I'm calling "Geneland". It takes DNA sequence data or a precomputed distance matrix (if using RAD-Seq) along with GPS coordinates and outputs an interpolated genetic landscape surface. Similar to Alleles in Space (but prettier). #popgen #evoldir #python

Hi all! I’m a PhD candidate in the @lindseyswierk.bsky.social and Powell labs at Binghamton University. I use #PopGen, #BehavioralEcology, and #VisualModeling to study the #evolutionary & #ecological processes of #divergence in a semi-aquatic #Anolis lizard species complex. #speciation #evolution
To add one thing: if you have the data to run both classic dN/dS tests and MK tests, choose the latter. dN/dS tests are blind to positive selection in the important, constrained proteome, while MK test will work regardless of constraint, if DFE well estimated.

Hey #PopGen #EEB #PUI friends! Do you have a cool paper demonstrating the power 💪 of "modern" PopGen that would be exciting to upper-level undergrads? I feel like students leave the PopGen unit thinking it's some kind of dead science b/c we're limited to introducing simple models in Evol classes. 😢
The PopGen Vienna Seminar series schedule is ready for the next term (March-June). It's jam-packed with fantastic speakers in #evolution, #genetics, #genomics, #popgen, and more! Details and streaming link signup can be found on our website popgen-vienna.at/news/seminars/
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.

Hey genomics colleagues: are they any software programs you wish still worked on your modern OS? I’m trying to get a list of dead software that lost support and fell out of fashion, not due to method but due to software support. #genomics #evosky #evolbio #popgen #Evolution
🧬 My haplotype paper is out!
We show that deviations between within-sample and population-level haplotype frequencies can be used to estimate how many individuals contributed to an eDNA sample.
No tissue references needed, just metabarcoding data and some population genetics.

Environmental DNA is cool but to make a giant inferential leap from biodiversity monitoring to population-level inferences is fool's gold. Technological novelty is killing pure science. #popgen #randomthoughts

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 […]
Screenshot of "COI Fetches" which fetches COI sequences from GenBank and puts it all into a FASTA file and also tags the location of each item.
In #popgen, I have students work with short DNA barcodes. They hate having to fetch them from GenBank using the "front door" and none of them code. So, I created a GUI that retrieves COI data for any species and compiles it into FASTA file. I'll be hosting the installer on my github account.
Michael Lynch did a back of the envelope calculation of the cumulative length of all DNA molecules in his book “The origins of genome architecture”.
It blew my mind: about 10 times the diameter of the observable universe. #popgen 🧪🧬
Preprint alert: We adopt a cheap & rapid WGS protocol for vertebrate sized genomes, and use it to sequence nearly 1K whitefish genomes to low/med coverage for lake-wide pop genomics of adults + larvae for species assignment, habitat use, decline & selection: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Woke up this morning to an email from IBM stating that my proposal was accepted. Essentially I get to analyze population genetic data on an actual quantum computer---and compare those results with what we find using classical computing. #popgen #bravenewworld #quantumcomputing
