Two new chapters from my open-access textbook in human population genetics are now online:
- Population structure: I. Ancestry estimation
- Population structure: II. More about admixture

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics:

Congratulation to @puneethderaje & @kitchensjn on their preprint using ancestral recombination graphs to estimate the location of genetic ancestors

New work from the lab! We present a novel method for inferring the geographic locations of shared genetic ancestors and use it to infer the geographic history of human genetic ancestry biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Congratulations to @GrohJeff on the publication of
"The temporal and genomic scale of selection following hybridization" showing how wavelets an be used to determine the timing of selection & drift during hybridization

#TAGC24 I will be presenting at the “Deleterious Mutations” session tomorrow (PgmNr 168) at 11:45am. This is a new example of application of ARG inference, with @vsbuffalo teaching me a lot in this topic. Come and enjoy if you are interested in yet another way to use ARGs!

Once again my lab rocks. They felt it was important to recognize the colonial and in some cases eugenics-inspired history of the extraction and collection of the maize germplasm we use all the time. So they wrote this up as a group. Comments welcome!

Excited to share the published version (out now in @PLOSGenetics) of the introductory review that I wrote with Mike Grundler and @gbradburd about ancestral recombination graphs! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen…

Just in time for the holidays, @GrohJeff cracks the story of ancient balanced polymorphisms for heterodichogamy (male vs female flower order) in walnuts & pecans

Super excited about the lineup of talks and posters at #BAPG at Stanford on Dec. 2 bapg-conference.github.io/ Special thanks to @sophiejwalton and @kitchensjn for putting together the website.

Family-based GWAS have become the gold standard for assessing causal genetic effects. They’re often said to offer an unbiased estimate of the average causal effect (ATE) of an allele or PGS. Here, we (@carl_veller @molly_przew) evaluate such statements.

Posting on twitter right now feels a little like putting up an informational flyer on the deck of the Titanic, but I'm recruiting PhD students to work on spatial population genetics in my lab at @UMichEEB!

We’re sad to say goodbye to @pavitra451 and @carl_veller, but excited for all that comes next for them at U Chicago. It’s been great having them at Davis, they’re wonderful colleagues and friends

Genetic genealogists working with US law enforcement have routinely been searching genetic databases that were opted out of forensic searches violating DOJ guidelines (and covering their tracks).

Fascinating sequence of talks by @vsbuffalo and Alexis Simon on using temporal covariance in allele frequency change to understand genome-wide patterns of selection. Can detect highly polygenic adaptation, but no evidence in recent European evolution! #SMBE23

Remember to see Alexis Simon Wednesday (26th) at 15:00 in the city theater talking about his work on estimating the contributions of gene flow, drift, and selection from 5k years of human ancient DNA #SMBE2023

Adding a few links from my depicting human variation talk today, in case folks wanted them #Evol2023

I am excited to start the Wang Lab in the Department of Biological Sciences @UBuffalo this September. If you want to work together to build an integrative understanding of #speciation & #adaptation in old-growth #forests, please get in touch.🌲🦜🧬🧪👉forestspeciation.online
