Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Human prehistory [separate thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA: a genetic time capsule [this thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritch...
Life-histories can have a genetic basis - but when and in which context do these genes function to translate genetic variation into variation in life-histories? A simple answer is - its complex!
Sex-, development-, and nutrition-dependent expression of a major age-at-maturity gene in Atlantic salmon https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.15.613130v1
Sexual maturation is a key process in the life history of an organism and is influenced by both gene

🧬 New recombination review 🧬 Genetic variation is essential for evolution. So what do we know about genetic variation underlying recombination rates & distribution? I've written a perspective for MBE on why its important, what we have learned, & open questions for the future.
Abstract. Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often required for proper chromosome segregation and plays
The Functional and Evolutionary Genomics group (me!) at Nord is recruiting a PhD student on an exciting project on dwarf Atlantic salmon - please share widely! Applications and more information: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...
Excited to share our new publication on indirect genetic effects on offspring survival by our favourite large-effect loci, #vgll3#six6#salmon 🧪🐟 No wonder it is so hard to predict evolution in the wild with this sort of thing going on.
Abstract. Large effects loci often contain genes with critical developmental functions with potentially broad effects across life-stages. However, the life
