Really excited to share our latest paper led by @simonaube.bsky.social. Fascinating results examining whether regulatory mutations can lead to adaptation as fast as coding mutations do. #mevosky #evobio #evoSky

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Adaptation is less accessible through mutations in promoters than in coding sequences when large effect sizes are needed
Mutations within promoters and coding sequences are both involved in adaptation, but their relative contributions remain to be compared directly. Using the fungal enzyme cytosine deaminase, we examine...

Reason number 4,517 (yes I'm counting) why @maizegdb.bsky.social is so awesome and we're so lucky as a community to have these folks. Also a great example of maize community sharing. UNPUBLISHED data already up on the community database showing conservation scores across the maize genome.
We're excited to share PlantCAD browser tracks: a new, unpublished dataset integrating AI techniques for plant genome analysis. Explore it here: github.com/andorfc/Plan...
We welcome the community's feedback and innovative use cases for this data!

We pushed meiotic crossover as much has we could, and had some surprises

Meiotic crossovers enhance genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms. Here, the authors propose that the higher-order spatial organization of the meiotic chromosomes shapes sexual dimorphism...

A 6000-year-long genomic transect from the Bogotá Altiplano reveals multiple genetic shifts in the demographic history of Colombia
The hunter-gatherer gene pool of the Bogotá Altiplano was replaced by Central American ancestry at least 2000 years ago.

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF:

Dear members:
The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.

Let´s form a community of conservation geneticists here - I started with some people I know, but there are likely to be many more... I can happily add them to this list
