Super cool talk today by @jrossibarra.bsky.social! #PEQG26 Learning a lot about ARGs 😬
Amazing talks and work at #PEQG this week!
Stop by my poster today, number 249, to discuss comparative transcriptomics of salivary glands between mouse and humans. I have some cool thoughts to share about the evolution of gene expression! 🐁🧬💧
Excited to present my poster today! Stop by at 249W! #PEQG26

Indigenous Peruvian Andean populations have among the highest-known copy number for the salivary amylase gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in starch digestion, according to research in Nature Communications. go.nature.com/3R2XNqI 🧬🧪

Our paper on recurrent independent duplications in the primate amylase locus is now out in Cell Reports!
Huge thanks to @petarpajic, @spit-lab.bsky.social and @gokcumenlab.bsky.social for their support.
More about the work in the thread below from when we first shared the preprint last August.

Structurally complex loci can repeatedly generate similar traits; Karageorgiou et
al. established primate amylase locus as a structural variation hotspot, potentially
seeded by transposable elements. ...
