How do we predict the statistical associations between mutations that spontaneously emerge in an evolving population? Excited to share some new work w/ Zhiru Liu and Benjamin Good that approaches this question!

Join our EEOB Department at UC Riverside! We're looking for a new Academic Coordinator to help run our Dynamic Genomes lab courses: aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01853

UC Riverside is a great place to work!

Do the mutations that drive evolution improve many traits or few? How might this change over the course of evolution? Excited to share our new work exploring these questions in the first 2 steps of adaptation w/ Yuping Li Gavin Sherlock Dmitri Petrov 💔 🧵1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Q: What could GO WRONG with a major cancer genomics study in which tumours are sequenced to only 15x depth?

A: An awful LOT! 😟
