Genomics hivemind: I want to genotype a bunch of diverse, heterozygous diploids with a messy genome (🌽 -- who'd have guessed?) but I care about phase. Computational phasing doesn't really cut it, so wondering what the cheapest alternatives are -- nanopore to 10-20X? Linked shortreads?

Ryan, @rishidekayne.bsky.social et al. present six new chromosome-level genome assemblies for Poeciliidae, providing a foundation for studies on convergent evolution, repeat content, and demographic history. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/17/6/evaf111/8169767 #genome #evolution

New Genome Assemblies for Poeciliidae: A Foundation for Adaptation Studies

Abstract. Multiple lineages in the family Poeciliidae have independently adapted to hydrogen-sulfide-rich springs. The independent colonizations of such sp

Fun new things starting in the lab this summer as we dive deeper into the intersection of urbanization and invasion! This is an invasive wall lizard from NYC, a project being led by postdocs @annainthefield.bsky.social & @anthonysnead.bsky.social along with our summer REU students and NYU undergrads

These pictures are from a few years ago, but I am SO excited to be starting up a whole project on the Italian wall lizards in Queens, Brooklyn, and on Long Island this May with @anthonysnead.bsky.social and @kmwinchell.bsky.social and some awesome undergrads 🦎☺️

Have you ever thought about the perks of doing fieldwork in your own backyard? ...Are you "urban-ecology-curious"? Come to our workshop at #SICB2025 on Jan 4 10:30-12:00 to learn about urban field safety, accessibility, engaging undergrads, designing experiments, permit perils, and more!

I can’t believe that Ron DeSantis (a veteran) just suggested we fix the VA by depending on volunteers and donations instead of the government …. doing its job. Just ridiculous

Is there a paper out there that summarizes latitudinal trends in terrestrial insect/arthropod species richness at a global scale?

As the 🦈paper was well received, are you interested in a similar work on bony fishes? We looked at sexual systems (gonochorism, protogyny, protandry, bidirectional sex change & simultaneous hermaphroditism) in 4614 species! Ask me if you have questions! #evolution 🦑🐟 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have been avoiding singularity and containers in general .... but holy shit, I have been missing out! I do not know if I can ever go back. It makes bioinformatics sooooo much more portable!

OK this is the mind-blowing image of the week for me: the total global biomass of mammals. Wild animals are a tiny proportion. From a paper by Ron Milo Lab at Weizmann Institute, via a great Oxford lecture by @marionkoopmans.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
