Awesome paper from the Moeller lab on diesentangling the influence of geography and host ancestry to gut bacterial strain divergence www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Excited to be at #PEQG26! I have a poster tonight on measuring selection on intraspecies variation in large microbial communities (415W), would love to hear what folks think!
Analysis of gut bacterial and mitochondrial genomes from wild populations of small rodents across the USA shows that geographic distance mediates early stages of bacterial strain divergence between co...
Preprint of some of my postdoctoral research with @mfrederickson.bsky.social examining the evolution of beneficial microbial symbionts in duckweed www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Dr. Indra Gonzalez Ojeda gave a great thesis defense this morning, including some wisdom for starting PhD students, or frankly, anyone.
Please share widely! We will imminently be posting a technician position in our lab group since @rheasood.bsky.social is off to grad school 🙌! If you know of anyone excited about molecular biology, evolution, and functional genomics please have them reach out (schumer at stanford). Start date ~June

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.
