🪱 New in #G3journal: A large-scale behavior characterization of sensitivity to the aversive odorant 1-octanol in wild strains is the first-ever study at scale that investigates how natural genetic variation shapes #Celegans olfactory behavior. 🔗 buff.ly/suEm15k

New in #G3journal: A mutant analysis in #Ecoli reveals that helicase function during severe transcription-replication conflicts is not intrinsically protective or deleterious but is contingent upon the recombination landscape shaped by SOS induction. 🔗 buff.ly/bdhlupH

🦞 🧬 A resampling-based evaluation of the 79-SNP marker panel captures broad differentiation between European lobsters, Homarus gammarus and H. americanus. Learn more in #G3journal about this important tool built for #lobster genetics 🔗 buff.ly/vOvtQLr @marie_saitou
