Yes, maximum magnification at minimum focus distance. I like macro and close up photo, and I find that knowing only this info at both ends of a zoom lens is insufficient to make purchase decisions.

Congratulations! Something you sometimes do and that I have found nowhere else is to provide magnification across the whole focal length range of zooms. Super useful information.

Hi Pleuni, it would be great to have you in Roscoff! The scope can be broader than the title suggests :).

Just left Roscoff this morning after an excellent week long meeting on speciation. I cannot recommend the location
highly enough!

Most likely yes. Using latest genomes, selection tests that unlike PAML take synonymous rate heterogeneity into account, aligners that take frameshifts into account, and since it is drosophila, iso-seq supported annotations.

So far I have been dealing with the uncertainty by moving away from gene-level claims towards gene group-level claims where differences in the amount of errors between groups should not occurr.

That would be a good example of a time where the aligners available resulted in many false substitutions:

2/2) In the meantime, we need to be very aware of the rather serious limitations of the data we try to study genomic adaptation with.
