Excited to share our latest preprint on the impact of background selection on complex trait evolution. It’s amazing to finally see one of the major projects from my PhD journey come to life. Huge thanks to @JeremyJBerg and @jnovembre for their guidance and support.

I don't use this platform much anymore, but I'm happy to share our work on sexual selection and the genomics of speciation in barn swallows. Thanks for reading and sharing, if of interest! https://t.co/TMALb9NsMu

Despite the well-known effects of sexual selection on phenotypes, links between this evolutionary process and reproductive isolation, genomic divergence, and speciation have been difficult to...

Check us out! #ASHG24
#ASHG24 make your way to today’s Novembre lab posters 3015 (label free reference matching, @LukeAnderTroc) 3016 (rare variant discovery, @maggiecsteiner ) and 4041 (impacts of multigeneration shared environments, @mkiravn) to see some great science!

Unifying statistical #genetics & #phylogenetics. @jgschraiber @DocEdge85 & @mwpen show that the distinct ways of mapping phenotypes while controlling for ancestry in these two fields are actually special cases of the same general approach #PLOSBiology

Original thread here: https://t.co/KpE5CxFHQZ
Family-based GWAS have become the gold standard for assessing causal genetic effects. They’re often said to offer an unbiased estimate of the average causal effect (ATE) of an allele or PGS. Here, we (@carl_veller @molly_przew) evaluate such statements. https://t.co/sFVCuTh4s5 1

3 recent papers attribute evolutionary observations from diverse contexts to stabilizing selection. Not often popgen converges :) 1) mutation + recombination https://t.co/WvkIvZJ9Ex. 2) Neanderthal ancestry https://t.co/QNrWntpVor 3) sex chr stability

1/ A thread about mutation and recombination in vertebrates and what we learned by studying three-generation pedigrees of zebra finches. Take home: the remarkable similarities between birds and mammals in many properties of these fundamental processes.

When we look at these chromosome-specific average genetic values, we see a much more exciting picture! Specifically, we see random chromosome-specific drift, resulting in a great deal of variance across chromosomes 9/
