Super excited to share my latest preprint with @lohmueller and Sriram Sankararaman! Here we leverage the unique signature that recessive deleterious variants can lead to an increase in archaic ancestry to tackle a classic question - the dominance distribution on the human genome.
Neanderthal introgressed ancestry reveals human genomic regions enriched with recessive deleterious mutations #biorxiv_evobio.

Very glad this paper is finally out!.
Final version of our paper on scaling in SLiM now published in @GenomeBiolEvol !. We’ve added some new results comparing coalescence, linkage disequilibrium, and background selection in various scaled simulations. @Jazlyn_Mooney @Xinjun90. Read it here:

Amazing achievement especially given this rough year! Congratulations Tessa!!!!.
Received an Honorable Mention for my NSF GRFP proposal! It was very competitive year due to funding (< half the usual number of awards) so I’m very happy for an HM. Thanks to my mentors @Jazlyn_Mooney Arun Durvasula & @Xinjun90 for their support & LORs!.Congrats to the awardees🎉.
