Reference genome bias in light of species-specific chromosomal reorganization and translocations - Genome Biology
Background Whole-genome sequencing efforts, have during the past decade, unveiled the central role of genomic rearrangements—such as chromosomal inversions—in evolutionary processes, including local a...

Cool preprint! 🚨

Lanternfish lack MHC I and functional MHC II — yet still produce antibodies! 🧬🐟

The genome of the Glacier lanternfish shows loss of MHC I and II function and provides insight into evolution of lanternfish immune systems
Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are one of the most abundant and species diverse orders inhabiting the mesopelagic zone. Exploitation of marine resources has recently attracted increased interest. It is t...

@robinaraya.bsky.social @naturalselection.bsky.social @kjetillsj.bsky.social et al. investigate TEs in four large inversions in Atlantic cod - TEs accumulate in breakpoints, suggesting they drive inversions through ectopic recombination.

It's here! My Training History Manifesto.

A very DEEP dive into the history of training to show you how we got here, why we know what works & more.

It traces training from the 1860s to present day.

I wrote it because it's much needed for coaches AND scientists.
