🚨 New paper klaxon! 🚨 The History of the Panmictic Population Concept and Its Legacy in Contemporary Population Genetics Quite niche admittedly, one for the historians of evolutionary thought, and population geneticists. doi.org/10.1111/ahg....

The History of the Panmictic Population Concept and Its Legacy in Contemporary Population Genetics
ABSTRACT The panmictic population concept is at the heart of population, evolutionary and conservation genetics. However, in nature, true panmictic populations are vanishingly rare. As an idea conce...

Delighted to share that one of my major PhD projects has been published today in Current Biology. In this paper, we look into the genetic population structure and demographic histories of two populations in Sri Lanka: the Sinhalese and Adivasi [1/n]. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Population histories of the Indigenous Adivasi and Sinhalese from Sri Lanka using whole genomes
Sri Lanka is home to diverse ethnic groups with different genetic histories. Urban Aragon et al. find that despite close genetic affinities, Indigenous Adivasi have more hunter-gatherer ancestry and l...

It's finally out people ✅🗞️! Check out the final version of our work exploring factors influencing the germline mutation rate and spectra on ~10,000 WGS family trios 🧬👨‍👩‍👦! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The impact of ancestral, genetic, and environmental influences on germline de novo mutation rates and spectra - Nature Communications
Here the authors analyze de novo mutations in >10,000 parent-offspring trios and find that ancestry and smoking independently associate with mutation rate, but that common genetic variants likely c...

This was a large collaborative piece of work with the lead efforts by student @maggiesteiner.bsky.social and former postdoc Dan Rice. It's well-timed for Maggie especially as she is defending her thesis on Monday!

Excited for our publication on how the geographic scale of a sample affects the discovery of rare, deleterious variants to be out this week. With a mix of theory, simulation, and data analysis, we show when samples are narrow vs broad, the number of variants discovered and their frequencies change
