New from @gvbarroso.bsky.social in our lab: quantifying the relative importance of mutation rate variation and background selection to levels of diversity along the human genome.
We are actively searching for a postdoc to join the lab! Details provided here - johrilab.org/join
Please share.
I will be at PEQG and will be happy to chat if you're interested!
Our preprint, where we infer the fitness effects of new mutations in regulatory regions of the D. melanogaster genome. We find an abundance of weakly deleterious effects - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
