I’m looking to hire an NIH funded postdoc to join our lab here at Davis (please RT). Ongoing areas of interest include: 1) polygenic signals of selection from time series, ARGs, GWAS, etc 2) The interpretation of GWAS, polygenic scores, & sources of confounding

Excited to share that I'll be starting my own lab at Texas A&M next month! I am recruiting graduate students and postdocs to study comparative and population genomics of development and reproduction in animals. Get in touch if you are interested in our work! www.danshawgenes.com

Excited to share our new paper exploring the genetic and physiological basis of adaptation to extreme elevation in the world's highest dwelling mammal www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Adaptation across an extreme elevational gradient in Andean leaf-eared mice, the world’s highest-dwelling mammal
Andean leaf-eared mice (Phyllotis vaccarum) live at the highest elevations of any mammal, and they also have the broadest elevational range, from sea level to mountain summits of >6700 meters. Highlan...

Excited to share this preprint!! with @brandonscooper.bsky.social and Bill Sullivan We tested whether endosymbiotic Wolbachia can alter host gene expression through chromatin modifications that persist from spermatogenesis to adulthood.

The final piece of my PhD work is now published in PLOS Genetics! We used single cell RNA-seq and meiotic chromosome immunostaining to study the regulation and evolution of the recently evolved sex chromomes in stickleback fish journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Single cell RNA-sequencing reveals no evidence for meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in the threespine stickleback fish
Author summary As male germ cells enter meiosis, the X and Y chromosome of many species undergo a drastic repression of gene expression. In mammals, this process has been shown to be essential for fer...
