Now that I'm back on here, may as well say that we (finally) have a new lab website !!.

New preprint from our lab! Working on this project (and I hope the same is true for readers) honed my intuition for what to expect in comparative gene expression studies. Great work from Rex on this one.

Glad to share my new preprint with @AlexCope241, George Zhang and @mwpen, in which we develop a theoretical model to investigate how mRNA and protein levels of a gene coevolve when the protein level is the target of selection. 1/n.

Anyone have experience being awarded or mentoring a K99 postdoctoral fellowship where the award was held at a different institution than where the applicant was when they applied? (I.e. can you apply to a prospective lab for this?).

New paper: ⁦⁦@victorgreiff@ctwatson29⁩ Oscar R. and I pull together a bunch of evidence to try and understand what germline IG variation is doing and how it’s maintained. Have more Qs than As but hopefully point folks toward cool problems.
