@deboraycb.bsky.social, @aidaandres.bsky.social, Tim Connallon & @maxreuter.bsky.social support the intuition that a large fraction of loci under balancing selection will be invisible to standard tests for balancing selection. 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/... #societyjournal #evobio #molbio

Our paper on detecting (or not) balancing selection is now out, in all its typeset beauty, in the October issue of @molbioevol.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

@haorancai.bsky.social @kgslab.bsky.social & @evodaveo.bsky.social show that genetic correlations are more environmentally stable when driven by polygenic background correlation across many loci, vs. a few large-effect pleiotropic outliers 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/... #societyjournal #evobio

Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD!🎉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We evaluated rapid DNA extraction methods for recovering aDNA from archaeological sediments, with an eye toward making sedaDNA work faster and more field-friendly 🧬 ⬇️

Yıldırım and James inferred gene-level selective constraints across the genomes of mice, fruit flies, and yeast, finding that gene-level complexity provides a more informative definition of complexity for DFE variation than organism-level labels. 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/... #societyjournal
