Thanks @sarperotto. I'm currently building my group @UniofNottingham - for anyone interested in these kinds of topics in yeast (or speciation/hybridization), feel free to get in touch!
Congratulations @jtono.bsky.social for seeing this paper across the finish line: a clear case where ploidy affects evolutionary rescue (tl;dr: evolution often rescues haploid but not diploid yeast populations) cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/... #Evolution #Genetics #Mycology
The number of copies of each chromosome, or ploidy, of an organism is a major genomic factor affecting adaptation. We set out to determine how ploidy can impact the outcome of evolution, as well as th...
Feeling nostalgic - anybody else miss Tailor? It feels like weāve mainly gone backwards (bad week with Adobe!!).

In new study led by Bernadeta Dadonaite, we measure how all mutations to H5 influenza HA affect four molecular phenotypes relevant to pandemic risk: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Ā Results can inform surveillance of ongoing evolution of H5N1.
