    New preprint, on how *aggregate* recombination modulates: (a) variance in the genetic relatedness of relatives; (b) how rapidly selection purges introgressed DNA. Turns out (a) and (b) are... related! w/ 1/2

    thoughtful piece by on new (and if I'm being honest, entirely un-surprising) work on the genetic basis of same-sex behavior: or as put it: seems all my genes are just a tad gay 🌈🌈🌈

    For folks at , my book is on sale at the OUP table in the exhibit hall. It's discounted, and you can get one before it's officially released in the US next month.

    In work by , we checked whether polygenic scores can be assumed to be portable *within* an ancestry group. They cannot. [[thread]]

    Looking for papers that discuss the contribution of **very** fine-scale environmental heterogeneity to within population phenotypic variation in plants. Any suggestions?

    We extended DMC to test for cases of adaptive introgression that are more likely for closely related species. Also allowed for extremely strong selection regimes. Called it DMC-MYAdIDAS: DMC Modified for Young Adaptive Introgression Distinguished from Allele Standing

    I am so proud to share that our manuscript on adaptive introgression that enabled evolutionary rescue from pollution in Gulf killifish just got published in Science! Thank you to SO MANY people and to the fantastic co-authors!

    and I also had (maybe too much) fun developing DMC-MYAdIDAS, an inference framework to confirm and characterize adaptive introgression

    Looking for a tech position? Sadly (for me) two great techs from my lab are moving on to grad school. We are now looking to fill their spots. For more info: Please RT!

    My latest with , describing how polygenic selection creates autocovariance in neutral allele frequency trajectories. With temporal genomic data we can measure these covariances, and using our theory we can estimate fitness VA, and much more!
