Building a pop genomics lab around selective sweeps in the DGRP dataset, but can't track down a VCF online. Federal funding casualty? Anyone know where to find a working link?
Abstract deadline for Midwest Pop Gen 2026 extended to June 12th! Aug 21-22 at UChicago — free, trainee-oriented meeting with talks, posters + Friday BBQ at Promontory Point. Chicago in August doesn't get better than this...

Excited to share our new preprint! 🍇🧬
We analyzed 639 genomes across 48 grape species to understand how hybridization drives adaptation.
• ~14% of average Vitis genome is introgressed
• Most parallel adaptations are shared via gene flow
• Two "hybrid species" are actually hybrid swarms
Applications are currently being accepted for UBC's ✨️ Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship ✨️ (two positions!!), due Jan. 15
Please share far and wide 🚀

We are looking for a postdoc to help with a project on eelgrass genomics, in collaboration with the O'Connor and Rieseberg labs at UBC - see ad here tinyurl.com/2yd487p4! Come and join us in beautiful Vancouver 🌊🌾🏔️
Huge congrats to @reginafairbanks.bsky.social who was just awarded a Chicago Fellows postdoctoral position to go work with @jmkreiner.bsky.social on the population genetics of adaptation in Amaranthus!
1/11 🔥 New preprint alert 🔥
We wanted to know what plants in the wild really care about. So we asked them 🎤.
Here is what we learned: “Biotic-response networks are an important organizer of the transcriptome in wild Arabidopsis thaliana populations”

I'm looking to hire a postdoc. Please share if you can!
