It is with joy and exhaustion I'd like to announce the release of Harpy v2 🎆.

What's different? Uh, almost everything. The changelog is so long that even I don't want to read it. BUT. IT WORKS WITH WGS DATA. AND MOST LINKED READ TECH. it just works 🙂

github.com/pdimens/harpy
GitHub - pdimens/harpy: Process linked-read data, from raw sequences to phased haplotypes, batteries included. Works with WGS too!

Short insertions and deletions are abundant but are they useful markers in genome scans for divergent selection? Hybrid zones in Littorina suggest they can add to information from SNPs, despite stronger purifying selection:

Short INDELs and SNPs as markers of evolutionary processes in hybrid zones
Abstract. Polymorphic short insertions and deletions (INDELs ≤ 50 bp) are abundant, although less common than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Evide

Our collection 🔍 phase was not a fiasco🎉! Thanks to many passionate collaborators🤝, we sampled more than a thousand snails from 23 sites and visited lovely places, labs, and colleagues♥️. We’re looking forward to the next steps and unveiling these 🌊🐚🐌 secrets!

Great work by Ambre Ribardière, Thomas Broquet and co' on mosaic hybrid zones between two species of marine isopodes linking reproductive isolation to sex chromosomes and chromosomal fissions / fusions / translocations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Sex chromosomes and chromosomal rearrangements are key to behavioural sexual isolation in Jaera albifrons marine isopods
The lack of sexual attraction between individuals from different populations is a direct barrier to gene flow between these populations. Here we focus on the evolution of this class of isolating mecha...
