Exciting new work from the lab led by @lagiven.bsky.social & co-advised by @tododge.bsky.social mapping pigmentation variation in the swordtail X. nezahualcoyotl! Spotting variation is linked to xmrk but embedded in complex genomic regions that Tris & Lyle tackled with UL nanopore: shorturl.at/Ljw1z
Big thanks to @tododge.bsky.social and @mollyschumer.bsky.social for their invaluable mentorship!!
I’ll also be presenting a poster on this work at PEQG this Thursday (8:30-10pm, PgmNr 284T)
Sex-linked traits are widespread, but their genetic architecture has been challenging to characterize, due in part to the repetitive and structurally complex nature of sex chromosomes. In swordtails a...
Excited to share new work on two sex-linked pigment traits in Xiphophorus! This project was led by undergrad @lagiven.bsky.social, who’s worked with me for the last 3(!) years. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
