🚨 My very first postdoc paper is out! 🐠 We show that the Y chromosome of the swamp guppy (Poecilia picta) has rapidly degenerated, losing genes, shrinking, and filling up with transposable elements, while the X responds by exporting key male genes to autosomes. 🧵⬇️ 1/6 📷Joëlle Lafond

It includes artistic drawing of the male fish of this study, Poecilia picta, on a background with DNA helixes.

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in @natecoevo.nature.com‬ rdcu.be/eugWV Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?

hi i'm new here but here's a poster i made featuring research by yuying lin and @judithmank.bsky.social!! i presented it at @evolmtg.bsky.social last year and the goal was journal cover meets back-of-napkin scribble meets "you know every science poster ever, yeah not that"

Deep learning reveals the role of copy number variation in the genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic sexual trait. Wouter van der Bijl did it all - selection experiment, pedigrees, neural nets, GWAS - for the architecture of color and pattern in guppies www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
