Our paper on alternative splicing evolution in Great Sand Dunes sunflower ecotypes is now published in Heredity ! 🌻 Chris Smith Kaylee Rosenberger Nolan Kane doi.org/10.1038/s41437…

Kavita Jain and I are organizing a symposium entitled 'Genomic diversity in nonequilibrium populations' in the AsiaEvo Conference (phylorf.org). Come hang out with us in Singapore in December! Submit an abstract by Sep 15th!!!

i wrote a paper about using machine learning to identify patterns of co-dispersal in Anopheles and Plasmodium

Hello #JMIH23 ! I am recruiting PhD students to my new lab UVa Biology starting Fall '24. I won't be at JMIH to meet in person, but I look forward to chatting with interested students about opportunities in the lab - thanks for spreading the word!

My #Evol2023 t-shirt is the smallest shirt I’ve ever tried to put on. Anyone want an XS (tag says medium)?

Very pleased to release FlexSweep and some new summary stats, designed for versatility in detecting selective sweeps of different types and robustness to background selection, demographic model misspecification, and recombination rate. 1/n academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

Beautiful location for EVO-WIBO conference: Fort Worden Historical State Park, WA

New preprint! Recent local adaptation with gene flow in Great Sand Dunes (GSD) sunflowers is accompanied by strong divergence in both transcript levels and alternative splicing:
