🚨I'm hiring a postdoc to do machine learning in population genetics! Starting to build up a lab at Indiana University Bloomington where I just started a faculty position. Apply with the below link indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30325
Out in MER! 𝑚𝑎𝑝𝑁𝑁: a SNP-based inference tool for estimating geographic maps of population density and dispersal, by @chriscrsmith @giliapatterson @petrelharp @pastramimachine. @WileyEcolEvol Read more: buff.ly/3X652Pj
biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/ Individual-based simulations are a great way to model populations with less abstraction and more realism. But there hasn't been a thorough guide on how to set up a continuous-in-space simulation, what emergent behaviors to expect, and why.
Our paper on alternative splicing evolution in Great Sand Dunes sunflower ecotypes is now published in @HeredityJournal ! 🌻 @chriscrsmith @Kaylee_rosen @nckane 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!!!
