If you saw me talk at PEQG or PAG and want to try out a new method for assembling sex chromosomes, our paper and pipeline are live! Biggest shoutout to @scarey.bsky.social for pioneering this method and happy to have played a part in its application and deployment!

Hybrid zones are increasingly common; to what extent are human impacts on the environment the cause? We used pop gen, water chemistry, GIS, and ecotoxicology to explore the causes of hybridization in swordtails. With @mollyschumer.bsky.social, now out in Current Biology! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Increased rates of hybridization in swordtails are associated with water pollution

Anthropogenic disturbance can drive hybridization by altering pre-mating reproductive barriers. Moran et al. pair population genomic surveys with water chemistry and GIS data to show that human develo...

Most PhD application advice is either (1) generic advice without examples (2) sample materials without explanation. Here I tried to bridge the gap between these two. If you know somebody applying this cycle and may benefit, please share this! ✨ irazibbu.substack.com/p/a-realisti...

Come see my poster tn! For 3 yrs, populations evolved at 43 sites worldwide. I built kMate, an alignment-free, pangenome k-mer method to track SNP & SV frequencies across space & time, opening the door to accurately and efficiently mapping climate-adaptive variants on evolution experiments! #PEQG26

Excited to share this new pre-print from the fantastic @kelsiehunnicutt.bsky.social! Kelsie put together a thoughtful and thorough review on hybridization in animal evolution: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v.... She tracks notable shifts in perspectives on the study of hybridization through time.

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

Super excited that the bulk of my PhD work is now preprinted! Here we used whole-community competition, or coalescence, experiments to quantify selection acting on genetically diverged strains within larger communities. (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Anyone looking for an undergrad research assistant this coming summer? I have a truly phenomenal undergrad with expertise in genetic mapping, long read sequencing & bioinformatics who wants experience in another lab before grad school. She has been in our lab for 3 years & writing her first paper!
