Our paper on the life history effects of dispersal evolution in flour beetles is out now in @JEvBio. Huge thanks to everybody involved. @biouea @ueaceec @UEAResearch ------ academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-ar…
NEW Heredity podcast: Genes are recipes for proteins - but, if a gene can make more than one protein, how does that affect genetic variation and adaptive evolution? We discuss these questions with @david_manahan @MVZUCB @berkeleyIB @GenSocUK #Genetics #evolution
It's the age of big data, but there remain several hurdles to integrating genomics into conservation science. We hear from Prof Cock Van Oosterhout about potential solutions outlined in a recent perspectives article for Heredity @GenSocUK @ueaenv @UEAResearch #Genetics #Science
One of the big decisions in planning a genetic study is what kind of sequencing approach to use. Daria Martchenko and Aaron Shafer compare and contrast whole genomes and RADseq in a study of mountain goat demography and adaptive history. Listen now: shows.acast.com/heredity-podca…
While we were @GreenManFest with @GenSocUK this summer @Hammaude recorded people's genetics questions. We had great fun answering them on this episode of @DNAandPod, which is out today!
