Amazing study led by Nadine Müller-Klein, looking at the influence of tuberculosis on survival and immune diversity in meerkats. Absolutely thrilled to be included as a small part of this project during my time spent at Ulm University on a research stay last year @sydney.edu.au
New, fantastic work by Nadine Müller-Klein, whose dedication to understanding pathogen-mediated balancing selection drove this effort forward! Great team effort all around -Image credit: Evi Zehntner #meerkats #MHC www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The endangered orange-bellied parrot has lost 62 per cent of its genetic diversity and can only be saved by breeding with another species or editing its genes, a study suggests.
Scientists suggest radical plan to save rare parrot from extinction

The orange-bellied parrot is predicted to go extinct by 2038. We tracked >200 years of genomic erosion. Here’s what we found 🧬🦜 #ConservationGenomics #consgen #popgen
