Again in Roscoff 🤩
Arrived at Roscoff in Brittany for the conference Jacques Monod on #speciation. What a view ! Do we have a hashtag? #cjm25? First plenary lecture was tonight on our (in)hability to predict diversification rates from microevolutionary processes.

Scanning mussel morphology #MusselsAreCool. The attempts are not yet conclusive, but it's cool.

It's been a while since I shared a photo of a burl, that anarchic cellular development that looks like a plant tumour. This one is on the Lez riverbank in Montpellier.

We strongly recommend incorporating @kamilsjaron.bsky.social's k-mer pair coverage method, #Smudgeplot, into your routine.

#PopGen New preprint of the team on the discovery of a very high rate of polymorphic duplication in a marine bivalve.
Imagine looking at the distribution of the allelic coverage fraction at heterozygous calls in an indivdual and getting this distribution 👇 😱😱😱

Just to be clear, for a theorician, hybrid fitness reduction due to alternative deletion (or silencing or subfunctionalization) of a copy of duplicated genes, is nothing else, and indeed exactly, a Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibility (nothing new under the sun)

The year 2025 is off to a flying start as I'm already fishing for mussels in the murky waters of ports.

Fascinating two-day workshop on bivalve transmissible cancers #BTN #TransCan with @metzgerm.bsky.social as guest star. Exciting research is being done on these amazing sea creatures.
