Very happy and proud of Yannick Woudstra, who just won a MSCA postdoctoral fellowship with my lab at Stockholm University as a host! His project will investigate the evolutionary fate of pollen in asexual plants, using dandelions (Taraxacum) as a model. #evolgen #EvolutionaryBiology #HorizonEU

Our new paper testing long-standing hypotheses on the genetic causes and genomic consequences of distyly breakdown is now out advance access in MBE https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msae087/7665594?utm_source=advanceaccess& Thanks to all coauthors! #evolgen #evolution #Darwin #genomics #supergene #distyly #heterostyly

Last day at the 2024 SMBE Regional Meeting in Taiwan: Evolutionary Genomics & Bioinformatics held in Taipei at National Taiwan University campus. Greatly enjoying the meeting, talks and discussion! #EvolGen #smbe

Now it is official! Happy to receive ERC Proof-of-concept funding for improved methods for sequencing complex & important loci #AdaptiveTarget #ERC #ERCPoC #genomics #EvolGen https://erc.europa.eu/news-events/news/Proof-of-Concept-Grants-2023

New preprint out on the genetic causes and genomic consequences of breakdown of distyly in Linum. We present a new high-quality genome of the homostylous self-compatible species L. trigynum and compare it to its close distylous relative L. tenue. 1/5 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.16.567348v1 #Evolution #Evolgen #Genetics #PopulationGenetics

Strong purifying selection in haploid tissue-specific genes of Scots pine supports the masking theory https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad183

This paper from @PyhaTanja lab should be of great interest to anyone interested in #HaploidSelection and #MaskingHypothesis in #EvolGen - very elegant use of haploid #MegaGametophyte tissue.
