Recently enjoyed creating an illustration about @yulinzhang.bsky.social’s and @aabiddanda.github.io’s exciting work in Science, out this week. Check out the write up from UC Berkeley News featuring my drawing and detailing the research! news.berkeley.edu/2026/07/30/n...

New technique pinpoints human DNA inherited from ‘ghost’ ancestors - Berkeley News

Neanderthals and Denisovans interbred with modern human ancestors, leaving behind telltale DNA in our genomes. Now we have evidence of modern human interbreeding with two much older but unknown ancest...

Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Balanced polymorphism in a floral transcription factor underlies the ancient rhythm of daily sex alternation in avocado | PNAS

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

Good news! Our paper (with @aabiddanda.github.io @sarahaj34.bsky.social @codushlaine.bsky.social and Priya Moorjani) is now officially online! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Recovering signatures of archaic hominin introgression using ancestral recombination graphs

Admixture between modern humans and extinct hominins has shaped the genomes of present-day individuals, but reconstructing this history has been constrained by the scarcity of archaic samples and unad...

Have you ever wondered how many archaic populations contributed DNA to modern humans? We know about Neanderthals and Denisovans, but the fossil and genetic evidence suggests a much more complex history! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

With @szhan.bsky.social, @yulinzhang.bsky.social, Chao Zhang and Bingjie Chen, we wrote a Perspective about unifying the tree-based method across phylogenetics, population genetics and cell biology: arxiv.org/abs/2512.05499. Reposts are greatly appreciated!

Tree Thinking in the Genomic Era: Unifying Models Across Cells, Populations, and Species

The ongoing explosion of genome sequence data is transforming how we reconstruct and understand the histories of biological systems. Across biological scales, from individual cells to populations and ...
