🌟 paper tweetorial! 🌟 check out my first first-author paper from my Ph.D! We wrote a small (=easy-to-read) Perspective piece trying to bridge the gap between #evolutionarybiology and the expanding world of #genomic assays, specifically #chromatin conformation capture (3C and related approaches) 🧵1/7
As 3D genome tools become more accessible, studying three-dimensional genome architecture in non-model organisms offers powerful ways to integrate evolution and gene regulation. Read more in this new Perspective by @a-mack-s.bsky.social & Wray.

🦋 Happening today at #BoG25:
Are you interested in unusual patterns of recombination in the context of ongoing hybridization??
If you answered yes OR no to this question, come by poster 187 tonight! Learn something, or teach me something! 🦋

🦋 If you're 1) coming to #BoG25 (!!!) and 2) like thinking about weird patterns of recombination or population genetics, come say hi & stop by my poster "Exploring hybridization persistence: Gene regulatory dynamics and sex-specific recombination landscapes in Lepidoptera" 🦋
