What happens after an animal wins or loses a fight?
Check our new paper showing that winning and losing did not simply make the fish “better” or “worse” in a rivulus killifish!

Congrats to our newest Genetics PhD, Dr. Audrey Ward! Here, Audrey is with her advisor Dr. Douda Bensasson @dbensasson .
We are proud of you Dr. Ward!

Our accidental finding that "Low level contamination confounds population genomic analysis” is on bioRxiv - a fun collaborative project with @audreykward, @Brent__Shuman, Eduardo Scopel and @mcmomany biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Congratulations to @kdyerlab for being awarded “WORLD’S GREATEST COORDINATOR”!!! She led our graduate program from 2016-2023.

Loved seeing amazing presentations by friends in my cohort! @mattfarnitano @audreykward have awesome research and I loved being there to hear all about it!

Yeast @ #Evol2023 !!
@audreykward is hard at work developing Lachancea thermotolerans as a model for pop gen
🧽🧬🌎

The BIG Y1000+ Project manuscript with complete genome sequences, quantitative phenotypic data, and a new ecological ontology for nearly every know species of yeast is now a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… ! Big thanks to @DOpulente, @Lab_LaBella, @RokasLab, and the whole team!

Use the mic, even if you don’t think you need it.
Some of your audience may need things louder than you would, or have assistive devices that pick up from the mic
(All session rooms at #Evol2023 should have accessible seating both front and back)
Colleagues who check in with you about accessibility at conferences: priceless. #evolution2023 physical access has been pretty good so far (slow elevator though), and so far speakers have been using mikes which is helpful!

We're searching for a new postdoctoral researcher to join the lab. Please help spread the word.

What comes to mind when you think of yeast?
Bread? 🥖
Beer? 🍺
Just another fungus? 🍄
For UGA’s @dbensasson, it’s all of these and more.

#TheLastofUs has been sweeping the world with their captivating characters and scary fungus monsters. But did you know there is some scientific basis in the lore?

I had the privilege of working on this awesome project exploring variation in these cute mussels with John, and I’m ecstatic to see in published!!

Wooo, first paper from the lab! We discovered a yeast defense factor against the killer toxin K28: a previously uncharacterized gene we named KTD1. Check it out! Open access on PNAS: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Excited to share our new @PNASNews on the dynamics of heterochromatin and RNAi in early-diverging Mucorales! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2220475… Kudos to @Maribelnm and @Carlos_parq for their contributions. A must-read for those interested in #genomestability #RNAi🧬 #TE #fungalbiology🍄
