Everyone doing evolutionary, conservation, population, ecological genomics: submit your abstract for the Biodiversity Genomics Conference by the end of the month. This online conference is free to attend and very international. biodiversitygenomicsconference.org

We've received comments about the lack of non-vegetarian options during #EED2024 lunches and coffee breaks 🥩🥓🍖. In line with our and the University’s commitment to sustainability, all lunches and coffee breaks will be indeed vegetarian or vegan 🍓🌱.

Would you like to work in our group? We have a 16 month postdoc position on recombination landscape variation in wild vertebrates (lots of data ready and waiting). Please DM or email [email protected] - I'm happy to chat. Deadline 22nd July. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

🧬 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 on why its important, what we have learned, & open questions for the future.

Now, Craig Primmer talking to us about his work on the vgll3 gene, an incredibly important gene in Atlantic salmon maturation discovered using GWAS. It has been described as a "master gene". BUT vgll3 gene expression is correlated with over 100 other transcription factors #FSBI2024

Have had some wonderful days here in Bilbao at #FSBI2024 🙌🙌 A week full of talks spanning eDNA, population genomics on multiple fish species, long term forcasting to seafood traceability 🐟🐟🐟 fsbi

Are you coming to #Evol2024 and looking for a PhD project? Known someone who is? DM me and let's have a chat!

Sex-specific selection on reproductive fitness contributes to the maintenance of variation at a large effect locus in Atlantic salmon.
