Our findings provide the first evidence of #FacultativeParthenogenesis in #KingCobra and accumulating evidence of #parthenogenesis across #SquamateReptiles suggests that the significance of facultative parthenogenesis in #vertebrate #evolution may be underappreciated. 5/5

This result indicates that #KingCobra, among other #SquamateReptiles evaluated in recent years, exhibits #FacultativeParthenogenesis. However, we also go further and use our data to shed light on the genetic mechanism of #parthenogenesis. 3/5

Hello Mastodon! My #introduction: I am a #postdoctoral #researcher at #Harvard focused on #EvolutionaryGenomics of #adaptation and #ConvergentEvolution in #vertebrates, especially #SquamateReptiles. Currently, I am exploring the #evolution of convergent #LimbReduction in #skink #lizards. Due to the nature of my work, I am also passionate about #NaturalHistoryMuseums and #MuseumGenomics. I grew up in #UpstateNY and did my #PhD at #UnivTexasArlington.
