@thamala.bsky.social absolutely smashed this one. This one was an absolute pleasure full of great discovery!

Open PhD position aimed at functional following up candidate genes we discovered as mediating adaptation to an extreme environment. Revealing the molecular basis of convergent adaptation. Collaborative project with
@matesakf labs.
Deadline 11th of December.

An exciting postdoc opportunity in Prague! Reach out now if you're interested; we are starting consideration of applications this week! Please repost!

Kinetochore and ionomic adaptation to whole genome duplication bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Sharing work close to my heart, long in gestation: we introduce Cochlearia, in its many polyploidy events. Here we discover signal of adaptation of the kinetochore to the challenging new polyploid state. With @sianbray.bsky.social @thamala.bsky.social and others. #evobio #polyploid

Very recent work from the group to give the flavor: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Champion work from @thamala.bsky.social !

Impact of whole-genome duplications on structural variant evolution in the plant genus Cochlearia bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Our new paper is up on bioRxiv! We study how whole-genome duplications influence structural variant evolution in a natural diploid—autopolyploid system. With @leviyant.bsky.social and others.

Check it out if you like polyploidy, SVs, long-read sequencing, or pangenomes. #evobio
