I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real
I'm looking to sponsor an applicant for a Canada Impact+ Postdoctoral fellowship in my lab. The project will explore how methylation patterns change during aging in rockfish with rapidly evolved lifespan differences. Check out tinyurl.com/impactpostdoc for a description. DM for more details.

Our new experimental evolution study across 30+ locations using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana —— we direct "see" adaptation and extinction to different climates at the genetic as it happens!

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry.
But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out!

Does anyone know of a method for testing GO enrichment in the context of the genome structure? For example, I have a highly significant GO category because my significant windows hit a cluster of 8 copies of a gene family. I could do a permutation, but seems like there must be a better way.

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...
