Epistasis among clustered lineage-specific amino acid substitutions in the Drosophila Trio protein
Author summary Proteins fold into three-dimensional structures that are essential for their function. Because these structures depend on interactions among amino acids, the fitness effect of a mutatio...

More than two-thirds of the papers we've published since the lab started in 2019 have international co-authors, who have greatly enriched the science that we do bsky.app/profile/jros...

I'm excited to share that our work studying gene dosage response curves (GDRCs) is now out in Cell Genomics (@cellpress.bsky.social). www.cell.com/cell-genomic... [1/n]

Buffering of gene dosage response curves for human complex traits
Milind et al. explore why loss-of-function variants and duplications tend to have average effects in the same direction on 94 complex traits. Using gene dosage response curves (GDRCs), they gather evi...

Adaptation: by giant leaps or many tiny steps?
Nature Reviews Genetics - In this Comment, the authors argue that understanding the genetic basis of adaptation requires considering the genetic architecture and ecological properties of traits...

Delighted to share our latest preprint: Julie Zhu identifies a surprising reason why the genetic architecture of brain-related traits is so different than other traits. Check it out!

My lab read this paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... for journal club, and had some thoughts on the strong claims made about the number of signals of selection found.

For an update on our preprint about the mysterious signature SBS5, see: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... New analyses throughout, but see Figure 5 in particular.

Congratulations Jeff! It's been really wonderful to have you in the lab! I cannot wait to see all the fantastic work that will come out of your future lab. ...and trainees, Jeff is an amazing scientist and mentor! If you ever have a chance to work with him you should seize it with both hands!

The distribution of highly deleterious variants across human ancestry groups
A major focus of human genetics is to map severe disease mutations. Increasingly that goal is understood as requiring huge numbers of people to be sequenced from every broadly-defined genetic ancestry...
