🌎Cyanerpes caeruleus
Conservação:Pouco Preocupante

A saí-de-perna-amarela é um Passeriforme da família Thraupidae.

Important heads up! This is crazy

PODE JÁ!!

Jasmin Rees PhD chapter as a paper just out at the AJHG @ajhgnews.bsky.social, with Sergi Castellano, who first envisioned the study. Jas investigated signatures of human local genetic adaptation in hundreds of micronutrient-associated genes.

Robust and accurate Bayesian inference of genome-wide genealogies for hundreds of genomes - Nature Genetics SINGER is a method for creating ancestral recombination graphs to understand the genealogical history of genomes. The method has increased speed, and thus scalability, without sacrificing accuracy.

SINGER, our ARG inference method, is finally published and freely available online:

It was a long journey – 16 months from initial submission to acceptance. Is it just me, or has peer review gotten more arduous lately? 4+ rounds of review isn't so unusual these days...

SMBE2026 - Call for Symposia Proposals

📢 The Call for Symposia for SMBE2026 is now open. We warmly invite you to submit a symposium proposal and help shape the scientific content of our annual meeting.

🗓️ Key dates
Call for symposia: Sep. 1 - Oct. 15
Announcement of accepted symposia: Nov. 3

More information: smbe2026.org/symposia

Excited to share our new preprint🙌
It's the first human WGS study in Sudan. We uncover one of the strongest selection signals to date, pointing to post-admixture adaptation to malaria in Copts. Huge thanks to all co-authors. @aidaandres.bsky.social @jgarcia-cal.bsky.social @ebosch1972.bsky.social

Ah I see… I’m joining the “it’s all epistasis” team. Thanks!

Yes, I prefer locus=SNP (or indel etc) and so defining this as epistasis. I think there’s always more information if you deal with the “smaller” loci and know the haplotypes. But I guess if you don’t have that level of detail the locus=gene works, no? And I wouldn’t say it’s wrong to treat it as dom

Ah then I think I would be fine with WT dominant to m2, m2 dominant to m1. And I agree it comes down to how you define what is the locus. But also agree with others that if a 4th double mutant allele exists, locus=whole gene doesn’t work well

But with two mutations wouldn’t you have 3 alleles (with locus=whole gene)? So if I understood the example wt=AA, and the double mutant BC would be same as AA. I wouldn’t call it dominance either…

SMBE2023 vs #ESEB2025

So infuriating!!

... and here's a second #ESEB2025 starter pack!

Great idea, thanks!

OH COME ON

Digest: Sex-specific benefits of mitochondrial introgression Abstract. Disrupting mitochondrial and nuclear coadaptation is expected to reduce fitness, especially in males and with age. But is that always true? Garlo

New Evolution-Digest out! 🎉
Intergenomic discordance should reduce fitness, especially in older males. Well, @martingarlovsky.bsky.social et al., showed that it might not always be the case. 🪰

When she was just 26 Florence Merriam wrote the first guide to birding with binoculars in 1889. And she slipped in this incredible feminist gem:

Outstanding work by @dcsoto.bsky.social @jmuribescr.bsky.social @mydennis.bsky.social (and other collaborators) that massively advances identification of human gene duplicates, with links to important traits and our evolution. So happy to have contributed a bit to this fantastic paper.

And today I learned this

data <- c()

for (d in 1:200){
for (n in 1:d){
data <- c(data, n/d)
}}

tabd <- table(data)
plot(as.numeric(names(tabd)), tabd, type='l')

Yes, there are theorems and proofs about this, which "every computer scientist should know about". Luckily (?), I'm not a computer scientist :)
