Jasmin Rees PhD chapter as a paper just out at the AJHG @ajhgnews.bsky.social, with Sergi Castellano, who first envisioned the study. Jas investigated signatures of human local genetic adaptation in hundreds of micronutrient-associated genes.

In this study, Rees et al. evaluate the role of dietary micronutrients in driving
local genetic adaptation and population differentiation in humans. The authors find
evidence that micronutrient-associ...

I'm very happy to share that our paper describing the evolution of sex chromosomes in brown algae is out!🎉 This project was a long journey, but it came together into a nice story 🧬 🌊 Grateful to everyone who helped along the way!
New research: With ancient origins & surprising flexibility, #BrownAlgae reveal a compelling story of sex chromosome evolution. This could rewrite how we view sex determination. Learn more: s.gwdg.de/YDoZ3L
Congrats to @agalip.bsky.social & Josue Barrera for their work in @natecoevo.nature.com

I'll be presenting poster 327 at #ESEB2025 today - come have a look if you're interested in the evolution of sex and haploid-diploid life cycles!

My poster P02.385 is now up on its board! Come say hi if you want to learn about the role of sexual conflict in transitions from combined to separate sexes is plants! 🌱 #ESEB2025
Delighted to have our work on the joint emergence of dioecy and sexual dimorphism be part of this wonderful special issue!
I will be presenting this at @eseb2025.bsky.social in a couple of weeks, poster P02.385 on Aug 19th. Feel free to pop by! ☺️
