Our review on genome assembly of non-vertebrate animals is out in @PeerComJournal ! We chose this journal for diamond open access, and we will use it again for the quality of its review process: 1 recommender, 4 reviewers with useful comments, no @GrumpyReviewer2.

The Toews lab at Penn State is hiring a NSF-funded postdoctoral researcher, interested in avian genomics and/or phylogenomics. Please reach out for more information (or click this very short and intuitive link): psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en…

In @molecology by co-1st authors @Kstanx & @KVasquezKuntz et al: discrepancy is found between different K estimators for STRUCTURE population genetic analyses, so combining multiple estimators will provide results w/ more biological relevance @TheBaumsLab buff.ly/3neESqh

Spending a very fun day spent nerding out about everyone's favorite temperate corals! Thanks to @SharpKoty, @SeanPGrace, and @RandiRotjan for organizing, and can't wait to hopefully be in person for next year's gathering. #AstrangiaThings

I’m imagining what would be happening if it were Black people across the nation defying stay-at-home orders and demonstrating in large groups against the law. Riot units would be breaking up rallies. Tear gas would be flying. Jails would be filling up. Trump would be raging.

This is blowing up, I have nothing to promote but donate to the Okra Project and help provide food security for the Black trans community! Divestment from the prison industrial complex requires investment in the communities most affected by its violence theokraproject.com/

There’s a lot of interest right now for learning bioinformatics skills while lab research is suspended and everybody is working from home. I wanted to share *free* resources for learning coding basics and field-specific materials. Thread (1/n)

I am happy to share a new preprint, where we test several long-read assemblers on two datasets of #PacBio and #nanopore reads from the non-model non-vertebrate organism Adineta vaga.

(Thread) New preprint out. Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Towards a genomic predictor of bleaching. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We are very excited about this work, here a few of the highlights (1/n)
Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Towards a genomic predictor of bleaching

Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Towards a genomic predictor of bleaching

Although reef-building corals are rapidly declining worldwide, responses to bleaching vary both within and among species. Because these inter-individual differences are partly heritable, they should...

A specific request for my science tweeps...has anyone seen #astrangia #northernstarcoral in the Delaware Bay? Perhaps out at the breakwater? I know it’s there somewhere - tips? Know any local divers who might know a good site? Thanks!! @fish_scientist @subsurface_life @CivilMicro

New paper out. Nice job @hayley_g7 and @jacobjaskiel. Scary results though... herbivores are not safe from #microplastics.... the plastics adhere to seagrass blades via encrusting epibionts. authors.elsevier.com/a/1XddX…
