Super happy for Juanita Gutierrez-Valencia who successfully defended her PhD thesis today at #StockholmUniversity. Congratulations!!! Great presentation and questions by external examiner Mario Vallejo-Marin & committee @PyhaTanja , Matt Webster & Bengt Hansson! #distyly #matingsystem #evolgen #evolution #supergenes #SMBEfolks #ESEBfolks

About using #citation impact measures to estimate the importance of scientific #publications:
"All metrics of scientific #evaluation are bound to be abused. Goodhart's law [...] states that when a feature of the economy is picked as an indicator of the economy, then it inexorably ceases to function as that indicator because people start to game it."

GERP scores are frequently used to classify and assess the prevalence of deleterious mutations, but what are the limitations of this approach and how sensitive is it to what species are included in the underlying alignment? I was wondering about this and found this nice paper from 2020 that I had missed at the time, and that investigates these issues using simulations.

Here's the paper by Huber, Kim and Lohmueller:

#SMBEEverywhere G6 on Tuesday! Looking forward to report on our work with @mtakou1, Holger Schielzeth, Kim Steige #SMBEfolks

We found that the strength of stabilizing selection associates with the amount of non-additive genetic variance in gene expression.

This matters for understanding the potential for adaptation of gene expression variation. It also shows that we are good at inferring the DFE.

The talk will be based on this preprint

Ready for more #SMBEeverywhere? We are!

#GS6 is the next Global Symposium on the #Genetics of #Adaptation, taking place at the end of this week 21--22 Nov organized by Dr. @krushnamegh Kunte and Dr. @DeepaAgashe

Could anyone help us spot theoretical studies that investigate how adaptation proceeds, preferred habitats have systematically lower carrying capacity?

My lab investigates population establishment in A. thaliana and this is what we find. We wonder whether it impacts adaptation.

We guess that new mutations are less likely to arise in the preferred habitat, so less fuel for local adaptation...

One more day of #introduction, and then... we start real conversations, ok? #SMBEfolks #ESEBfolks and others.

A two-year postdoctoral fellowship is available in my group at Stockholm University.

The postdoc will test hypotheses on the evolution of the Linum distyly supergene in a comparative framework. See also: Gutiérrez-Valencia et al. 2022, Current Biology 32: 4360-4371.

#introduction (cont’d) These interests extend to our own social system: why is it so hard to do what is in our collective interest? How can we do better for everyone?
