New preprint on drought resistance in Amaranthus ! Very proud of the journey and the work @jmkreiner.bsky.social
Human-mediated land-use and climate change occur simultaneously, but how do they interact to shape adaptive dynamics? Super excited to share the first paper from the Kreiner lab, led by postdoc extraordinaire @rpineau.bsky.social

Postdoc Jake Montgomery will be talking at 11:30 about long-read resequencing approaches to understand the evolution of a complex gene amplification conferring resistance to round-up herbicides

And I will be presenting work led by Postdoc @rpineau.bsky.social at 11:15 on the genomic response to drought across spatiotemporal scales in waterhemp!

Really great couple of days with the lab group!!!

We are in our second season of collections for an on-field select and resequence experiment with sites across the Midwest, and gearing up for some more herbarium genomic work (perfect time of year to visit @mobotgarden.bsky.social for sampling).

Interesting. Highly complementary to our paper (unfortunately not cited) published three years ago in Peer Community Journal, in which we reanalyzed the same oak data using the same software for somatic mutation detection. peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....
Minimizing detection bias of somatic mutations in a highly heterozygous oak genome
Somatic mutations are particularly relevant for long-lived organisms. Sources of somatic mutations include imperfect DNA repair, replication errors, and exogenous damage such as ultraviolet radiation....

There's a lot of replies to our new paper talking about how capitalism or overpopulation are the real enemy. Without getting into whether that's true of the climate emergency or the sixth mass extinction (🙃), I want to briefly explain why pandemics are different. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Pathogens and planetary change - Nature Reviews Biodiversity
This Review explores the relationship between emerging infectious diseases and biodiversity loss, and how both are connected to global environmental changes in the Anthropocene.

This would indeed cement my legacy
Cool story on the genetics of the world’s largest organism*

*that is, until experimentally evolved multicellular yeast inevitably overtakes it through the relentless power of directional artificial selection
New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

high praise, thanks felipe!
The paper I've most enjoyed reading this year!
