Just wrapped up an amazing visit at @isemevol.bsky.social with an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant! Thanks to @embo.org and to fantastic team here for welcoming me. This let me start a new collaboration on a very exiting project, and it has been an incredible experience. Stay tuned for more updates!

Does population size shape protein coevolution?
I explored this in my talk today at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology.
Our work in mammals suggests the answer is yes - genetic drift is a major determinant of compensatory mutations.

Please come and see Jinyang’s purr-fectly interesting talk at the #ESEB2025 the coming Thursday 3:45 PM (Meeting Room 116) on Polarizing SNPs without outgroup.
(I won’t be there, busy.)
