#SICB2026 Stop by B117 at 11am tomorrow (Sun 1/4) to hear how genome architecture in polar fishes shaped adaptation to freezing I’ll share fun new results linking an expansion in genome size and repetitive elements in polar fishes to adaptive duplications of antifreeze protein genes

Duplication–translocation played an unexpectedly large role in the associations we found between gene copy number, temperature, and depth. Variation in copy number at tandem arrays formed by inter- and intrachromosomal translocations drove environmental gradients in AFP copy number.

Excited to share this work, out today in MBE! In polar fishes, we found that antifreeze protein genes expanded in copy number at low temperatures and contracted in the deep sea, highlighting a role of depth and pressure in AFP evolution. 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

New preprint led by undergrad Owen Moosman! We uncover extensive haplotype diversity in antifreeze protein gene copy number in polar Zoarcoidei fishes, and report new tools to evaluate assembly uncertainty and switch error in phased genomes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share a new review by Soojin Yi and myself on the role of DNA methylation in phenotypic plasticity We take an earnest look at evidence of whether epigenetic variation drives plastic responses to the environment across cells, organisms, and populations academic.oup.com/gbe/article/...

My and Soojin Yi's upcoming review evaluating the role of DNA methylation in phenotypic plasticity is featured on Genome Biology and Evolution's Feb issue! My doodles don't usually find a home outside of slides and cards. I'm thrilled this one is on the cover!!

If you’re at #wsn2023, come see my talk today to learn about how fitness trade offs constrain thermal adaptation! 11:30 at session 4 in spyglass

Our new paper in Methods Ecol Evol announces marineomics.io, a website sharing tools for rigorous, reproducible genomics in non-model & marine species We outline the site's resources, how they're made, and how you can contribute! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
