I am thrilled to present my latest work, which finds that bacterial genetic diversity (in the form of co-colonizing strains of the same species and the genetic variants they harbor) is uniformly distributed along the gut. Read more about it at Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Here, the authors show that while species composition varies significantly across gut regions, genetic diversity within species is remarkably uniform and driven by similar strain frequencies along the...
I am excited to share our latest paper, Uniform bacterial genetic diversity along the gut, now out in Nature Communications! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... (1/n)

New preprint! We sequenced 175 'Alalā (Hawaiian crow) genomes to understand why >50% of eggs fail to hatch in a species recovered from just 9 individuals. What we found was a both exciting and surprising. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our paper entitled "The persistence and loss of hard selective sweeps amid admixture in ancient Eurasians" is now out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1.... A really fun and informative collaboration with @mharris.bsky.social, Ziyi Mo and Adam Siepel. (1/n)
The extent to which human adaptations have persisted throughout history despite strong
eroding demographic events such as admixture, genetic drift,...
