Excited to share our newest paper, in which we report our discovery that monogamous oldfield mice have very recently evolved a novel cell type in their adrenal glands that promotes parental care Work led by the fabulous Natalie Niepoth and @jennymerritt.bsky.socialrdcu.be/dH1Kn
Very excited to see my PhD project published this week! Many thanks to @marcdemanuel.bsky.social@mollyprz.bsky.social, and our co-authors.
Over the🌙 to share our accepted article, lead by rockstar @Hagar_k_Soliman 👩🎤. We really had to stretch our plant-minded brains in this one- a very fun exploration into mammals, plants, and conflict! 🌺🐁Thanks for the opportunity, @theAGA_org! academic.oup.com/jhered/advan...
Abstract submission for SMBE2024 is now live! Don't miss our symposium on the functional effects of SVs, co-organized with @mydennis.bsky.social@ellenleffler.bsky.social@christinebeck.bsky.social@levine-lab.bsky.social
Come join us in the Zuckerman Institute at Columbia on May 17th for the 2024 New York Area Population Genetics Meeting. Keynotes by Lindy McBraide and Cedric Feschotte Register here zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/new-york-are...
What a week!! Defended my thesis and I am now Dr Ridgway (don’t think it’s settled in just yet) and our paper has been published today in Current Biology! Thank you @mcgregorlab.bsky.social for an incredible PhD experience and all authors who helped shape this paper into a great story 🪰🪰
I'm recruiting a postdoc into my lab. Applicants with research interests in evolutionary genetics and genomics (especially related to sex differences and host-microbe interactions) are encouraged to apply. More information can be found at the evoldir posting: evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldi...
I'm excited to share our new preprint, "The recombination landscape of introgression in yeast," lead by Enrique Schwarzkopf w/ Nathan Brandt. This paper combines two of my favorite things - recombination and hybridization! Some findings here 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Hello BlueSky! We are not quite out of the woodwork with this one, but really proud of Joris Mordier in the Lab for his 1st/1st author paper in our lab #MolaroLabwww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
So glad our paper on lethal hybrid incompatibilities is out at Nature today: rdcu.be/dvFcM@ben-moran.bsky.social moved mountains for this project: we identified two new incompatibilities in swordtail hybrids , characterize mechanisms of lethality, and their evolutionary history.
