Are you looking to sequence a bunch of samples from a wild population in low-coverage but don't have a reference panel?
You might be surprised how well it can work.
See for yourself in our new benchmark study:

📃New paper in Ecology letters 🐦
I’m delighted to share the publication of the first paper from my #postdoc with @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social looking at life-history trade-offs and #senescence in black-browed #albatrosses from Kerguelen and Bird Island

🌺 PhD position in Theoretical Evolutionary Biology! 🌺
There is about two weeks left to apply to come work with me on the evolution of plant reproductive strategies at @unifr.bsky.social ! Contact me or visit here or for more info: tinyurl.com/monoecy

Abstract. Despite its detrimental effects, inbreeding depression in wild populations is relatively under-explored. Here, we use whole-genome sequence data

Abstract. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of a large number of samples is costly. Solutions include targeting a proportion of the genome (eg SNP arrays) or l

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...
🦉We show inbreeding depression in morphological traits in a wild population of barn owls
📉 And that it manifests during early juvenile growth
🌦 We also show that h2 is lower in juvenile stages, because environmental impacts are higher
