A comparison of 27 Arabidopsis thaliana genomes and the path toward an unbiased characterization of genetic polymorphism - Nature Genetics
New concepts for comparing the genomes of 27 naturally inbred Arabidopsis thaliana accessions provide essential insights into obtaining a less biased view of whole-genome polymorphism.

Well deserved!!! Congrats, @jillwegrzyn.bsky.social !!
Jill Wegrzyn@jillwegrzyn.bsky.social · 2y agoHonored to receive the #PECASE award from #NSF! This recognition speaks to the incredible students & trainees who bring these ideas to life! So excited to continue developing software, asking questions, and mentoring in the realm of biodiversity genomics www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...
Now online! Our perspective on the genomic offset simulation paper of @brandonlind.bsky.social and @drk-lo.bsky.social. In short: Genomic offset can predict fitness under changed environments, but performance is reduced under highly novel environments. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Go check out the Org.one workshop at #pag32! Org.one offers free ONT long-read sequencing costs for building reference genomes of IUCN endangered/critically endangered/extinct in the wild species. Today I just received confirmation for sequencing longleaf pine and the red-cockaded woodpecker!
ORG.one
Our goal is to support rapid sequencing of any critically endangered species, anywhere, by anyone.

The accuracy of predicting maladaptation to new environments with genomic data
Rapid environmental change poses unprecedented challenges to species persistence. To understand the extent that continued change could have, genomic offset methods have been used to forecast maladapt....

Excited to present recent work on genomic offsets - @sse-evolution.bsky.social #Evol2024. Unfortunately I couldn't be there in person, so if you missed my recorded talk, here are QR codes to the manuscripts and here is a link to the talk bit.ly/3WJGVVp
Excited about our bioRxiv paper led by postdoc Megan Ruffley in our lab & Uli Lutz from @plantevolution.bsky.social , using CRISPR on 50 Arabidopsis wild type populations to test a conflict in natural selection between favoring early flowering and water use! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Happy to see this out! @brandonlind.bsky.social tested genomic maladaptation (offset) estimates with common garden data for 2 conifers. Climate adaptation candidate loci were no better than random loci. Populations included in model building matter. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
