Any user of ANGSD on here has a trick to obtain the exact same set of sites per population when making subsets of individuals?
I can never retrieve the same sets and it is extremely annoying! This is basic popgen stuff.
The bare minimum would be to output missing data for sites impossible to analyze in this pop, so that output files can align between analyses.
(I use -sites without any filters)

Gene Flow and Habitat Heterogeneity Shape Coexistence Dynamics of Arctic Charr Morphs in Connected Lakes

We studied the phenotypic and genome-wide differentiation in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in two Icelandic lakes: Thingvallavatn, known to harbour four distinct morphs, and a smaller downstream lake, Ulfljotsvatn. Our analyses confirm a single origin of charr polymorphism in this system, with all morphs present in both lakes.

#PopGen New preprint of the team on the discovery of a very high rate of polymorphic duplication in a marine bivalve.

Imagine looking at the distribution of the allelic coverage fraction at heterozygous calls in an indivdual and getting this distribution 👇 😱😱😱

Four years ago, Jesse Bloom announced the recovery of SARS-CoV-2 sequences and suggested they could come from very early COVID-19 patients. Zach Hensel and I found out that Bloom's claim relied on the deliberate omission of a January 30, 2020 collection date contradicting his narrative. 🧪 #PopGen

Huh, folks. It seems that I don't get something about #Dryad
I'm looking for a code example for a bit exotic #popgen tool and 3 papers in a row (from 2021 - 2024) have "data and code available on Dryad", but doi gives an error and direct search on Dryad "dataset not available".
Is it just a sneaky way of authors to flip a bird to the #openScience practices required by the journal?
Does it make sense to poke @datadryad or it's journal's team who should sort this out with the authors?

Good reviews on "Gene flow and habitat heterogeneity shape coexistence dynamics of Arctic charr morphs in connected lakes" at Molecular Ecology

Rejected but encouraged resubmission (which I hate, its plain metric-playing)

The main result being #GeneticStructure of four sympatric morphs in #thingvallavatn #Iceland

Leirvogsá river runs from Leirvogur up to Lake Leirvogsvatn

Leir-vogur translates to clay-cove

Above the waterfall is the lake, and in it the brown trout with lowest level of genetic variation

Harpy v2.0 is almost across the finish line, and I wrote a lil' post about what linked-read sequencing actually is and how we evaluate the data differently than standard short-read data. It's a quick and easy read (with pictures!), highly recommend 🤓

🚨If you fancy evolutionary genomics, theory, my lab now offers *two* fully-funded #PhD #genomics #popgen #evolution
ℹ️One on sex-asex transitions with Christoph Haag bit.ly/4hp1q1A
ℹ️One on allele-specific expression with Sylvain Glémin bit.ly/4iuKLuQ

In #CEFE lab, Montpellier

In a paper led by J. Pekar now available online, we revisit claims made last year by Lv et al. about early SARS-CoV-2 sequences. We find that their two T/T genomes were sampled too late to be likely evolutionary intermediates between A and B lineages, and are instead likely derived. ▫️1/ #PopGen

Last week, I updated #adegenet on #CRAN. This is an important update as it fixes a memory overflow problem for SNP data that has existed since 2016.

If you use #PopGen packages that import adegenet (e.g. #poppr, #vcfR, or #dartR), then you should update.
