How do clonal interference and time-varying selection shape mutation trajectories and population variation in tumor evolution?
I'll be diving into this question with insights from simulated tumors at #Evolution2025. Join me to explore how dynamic selection reshapes the adaptive landscape.

Number of genetic differences between random pairs of African individuals (black points) and a corresponding random European (blue points). 20 random samples. One instance: a person from Russia has fewer differences to a Kenyan than that same Kenyan to a Namibian.

Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men
Androgenetic alopecia is a highly heritable trait. However, much of our understanding about the genetics of male-pattern baldness comes from individua…
🌟 New study alert @hggadvances.bsky.social! We examine the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of male pattern baldness in African populations, revealing critical evolutionary insights into polygenic risk portability
Delighted to advance this work with the MADCaP consortium!
