I am very pleased to share with the mastodon community the first part of my PhD work:

High prevalence of Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in placental #mammals

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.17.567540v1

This work was done in collaboration with @djivanprentout Alexandre Laverré, Théo Tricou and @duret_lbbe. (1/8)

Ten years ago, with @cfraisserios, we were dissatisfied with averaging windows in genome scans and decided to calculate FST90 (the 90th percentile of the FST distribution) and FSTmax (the maximum FST of the window) instead. We struggled to convince the reviewers that this was a good idea. We now have a paper we can cite to justify that it's the right approach. Why FST90 in addition to FSTmax? Because in true data FSTmax is full of rotten SNPs. #PopGen

I've just come across this little gem posted in BioRXiv during the summer. Everything I like #LewontinParadox #NeutralEvolution #GeneticDraft #LongRangeHitchhiking #PopGen @darwin

Super interesting paper that analayzes one of the #LTEE populations that evolved stably coexisting #ecotypes from Joao Ascensao, Kelly Wetmore, Ben Good, Adam Arkin & Oskar Hallatschek. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35677-5
