To apply: for full consideration, apply at https://hudsonalpha.applicantpro.com/jobs/2915586.html by 1-July 2023 (just a CV, cover letter and reference contact info); however, we will continue to review applications until the position is filled. DM or email me (hagscevo@hudsonalpha.org) if you have questions

Requirements: A PhD in biological or computer sciences (postdoc preferred), a strong bioinformatics skill set, and knowledge of plant breeding or quantitative/evolutionary genetics. Experience working with plant breeders, ecologists, or other applied stakeholders would be great.

The HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center works at the intersection of genomics, evolutionary biology, and biotechnology. The new scientist will help design, coordinate, and advance our ongoing projects across plant genomics, and specifically in collaboration with the JGI.

🚨We're hiring!🚨
Want to lead projects but running an academic lab isn't for you?

We're looking for a scientist to develop our collaborative efforts in plant evolutionary genomics. You can be located in Huntsville, AL or remotely elsewhere in the USA.

It's kind of like a junior research faculty position: you'll coordinate and design experiments, develop new analytical methods, write publications and proposals, mentor students, and cultivate stakeholder interactions and input. More details 👇

I've seen a few #genomes constructed solely from #nanopore #ONT recently (without #illumina #polishing). In principle, higher error and biased rates should mean this is a bad idea. Has anyone done a comprehensive survey of how these genomes behave, esp wrt #SNP calling, #gene #annotation and #haplotype splitting in partial inbreds?

Follow the leader.

@jrossibarra ... have you been designing menus in your spare time?

@DrJLCatlett alright, from v1.0.5 onward, there will be an easter egg in there. 😉

I want to like Mastodon, but even following more than 300 people, it feels like a ghost town. I also don't like that 500 characters means that so many toots are so much longer.

For context, its supposed to look like this (synteny between human and chicken)

I'm working on an update to #GENESPACE and totally messed up the #riparian plotter🙈. But I kinda like it! Should I keep this in there as `plot_riparian(..., onMagicMushrooms = TRUE)`?

Intro post: I'm a professor of #Biology at the #UniversityOfWashington. My training is in #EvolutionaryBiology, #BehavioralEcology, #PopulationGenetics, and #Epidemiology. I did lots of work in #Bibliometrics and #NetworkTheory. I teach #DataLiteracy. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the spread of #Misinformation, the #ScienceOfScience, and #PhilosophyOfScience. I do a lot of #BirdPhotography and love #ravens, #crows, and all #corvids.

For your trouble, here's a perfect crow.

@danielbolnick @DavidLowry @rspfau @smwadgymar depends how you define evo bio, but possibly also: genome evolution, comparative genomics, systems genetics, breeding

🚨 MUSCLE5 multiple sequence aligner is officially out🚨
Parameter choice / guide-trees in MSA generation can heavily bias phylogenies, especially with highly diverged sequences. Great read.

Nice big paper accepted over the weekend

Hi folks, please share this open rank Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Marine Aquaculture at Northeastern University! https://jobs.chronicle.com/job/37343374/open-rank-assistantassociateprofessor-sustainable-blue-economies We have a wonderful department and inclusive environment here, on top of that it's a nice place to work. We seek the broad expertise in aquaculture, including but not limited to: fisheries science; sensitivity of marine species to climate change; ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS; social science, engineering, aquaculture productivity.

@jlo_geno I think what you’re saying is we need to coin the phrase “insightome” so we can say “the insightome of xxx reveals…” ;)
