🐟 Excited to share our latest paper on the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Victoria, now out in Nature ( https://t.co/OG9kFLdjH8)! A continuous fish fossil record from sediment cores shows a dramatic change in the fish community around 13ka. 🧵

In the eye of the beholder: See our latest work by Virginie Ricci et al. in @ScienceAdvances on visual opsin gene expression dynamics in the massive adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in @LakeTanganyika, with a great cover by @angelfitor. https://t.co/he43WkieJ8

Retinal transcriptomes of Lake Tanganyika cichlids reveal changes in the expression of visual opsin genes associated with ecology.
New research sheds light on the expression of visual opsin genes across cichlid fish in Lake Tanganyika. Learn more in this week's issue of Science Advances: https://t.co/T9FABMScCL

Very low mutation rate in the guppy 🐟 and the detection of mutations that are present in multiple siblings!
It is finally out! We estimated mutation rate in guppies and validated ML approach for direct mutation rate estimations. I am superproud of my 1st PhD student, who did amazing work. Happy to discuss it during #SMBE2023

We confirmed this potential across a broad range of settings with datasets simulated with msprime, showing that both D-statistics and tree-based methods can be affected
