so proud of my former phd supervisor and former colleague (coincidentally now current colleagues again kinda!) who together with their colleagues published these cool results in JAMA oncology! 👏 @scilifelab.se

not with me on it, but if you are curious about workflows for non model organisms that can help in quantifying high impact variants and hopefully genetic load, find the poster P03.060 today - the one with the boaring pig in the bottom 🫡

lastly, please help @alexgilardet.bsky.social help George ask Love to invest in automatic robots to help in the lab 💪

or follow the new methods and validations developed by Alex that he is explaining today in his talk!

great talks in the museomics session, including @amandalindahl.bsky.social giving a great talk on her first (!!) conference 👏 🐻

interested in deleteuorius mutations and genetic load quantification in non model organisms?

visit me on Thursday 💪 🧬 🐗

first day of @eseb2025.bsky.social in Barcelona is off to a great start !

first with a deep time mammoth talk with @knmoreland.bsky.social , then a little chat with @ergabiodiv.bsky.social ,

followed by some ecology and then some duplications on the schedule.

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

that feeling when your prediction model accuracy including 10 fold cross validation turns out surprisingly well but you dont trust it and are afraid it is overfitted...

That feeling when you are in a focus group meeting discussing eDNA to measure and monitor biodiversity and pros and cons, and Amanda's review exploring exactly that pops up in your feed
💪🎉
congrats @amandalindahl.bsky.social for your first publication!

pre-print alert! my Dutch colleague @juliabeets.bsky.social just put her first PhD chapter out as preprint !

she has reworked the Kircher et al 2014 CADD for drosophila 💪

I attended last year, and highly recommend it - even as a postdoc having a long(er) background in popgen!

After not having been active in popgen during my PhD, this course was the perfect mix of freshening up old knowledge and getting the latest state-of-the-art solutions and updates.
The NBIS course "Population Genomics in Practice", held 15-19 September in Uppsala, is now open for applications! Join us to learn more about how to handle and analyze population genomic data. Deadline to apply: May 15! www.scilifelab.se/event/popula...

The “Population Genomics in Practice” course is open for PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and other employees in Swedish universities, who need hands-on and practical skills to analyze population ...
