Did you know that the genes for critical, ancient components of protein synthesis machinery - tRNAs - are bombarded with mutations, leading to remarkable allelic diversity that likely has functional consequences? I didn't until we did this project!

Nuclear-encoded tRNA genes harbor substantial allelic diversity in three nematode species
Cytosolic transfer RNAs, which are encoded as hundreds of genes in eukaryotic nuclear genomes, experience exceptionally high rates of mutation and have been hypothesized to carry significant mutationa...

How do clonal interference and time-varying selection shape mutation trajectories and population variation in tumor evolution?

I'll be diving into this question with insights from simulated tumors at #Evolution2025. Join me to explore how dynamic selection reshapes the adaptive landscape.

Number of genetic differences between random pairs of African individuals (black points) and a corresponding random European (blue points). 20 random samples. One instance: a person from Russia has fewer differences to a Kenyan than that same Kenyan to a Namibian.

🌟 New study alert @hggadvances.bsky.social! We examine the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of male pattern baldness in African populations, revealing critical evolutionary insights into polygenic risk portability

Delighted to advance this work with the MADCaP consortium!
Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men
Androgenetic alopecia is a highly heritable trait. However, much of our understanding about the genetics of male-pattern baldness comes from individua…
