Beautiful images from Erick Bayala (postdoc in the Wittkopp lab) using HCR to visualize expression of multiple mRNAs throughout pupal development help us understand how the temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression determines adult traits (pigmentation, in this case).
#onlywithHCR: Visualizing RNA Expression in Drosophila Pupal Development 🔬 A study on Drosophila by Bayala et al. highlights a novel protocol using HCR™ technology to study RNA expression in the fragile and impermeable tissues of the Drosophila epidermis during pupal

This is a nice review on ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs), the one graph to rule them all for population genetics. We are entering an era where one can conceptualise at least entire population ARGs.

In the presence of recombination, the evolutionary relationships between a set of sampled genomes cannot be described by a single genealogical tree. Instead, the genomes are related by a complex,...

I'm looking for PhD and Master's students to join the lab! We're broadly interested in experimental evolutionary dynamics with a slight lean towards host-parasite coevolution and computational approaches. https://t.co/mSYC3czzUN Find me at @sacnas! [plz rt b4 twitter dies]
