The @scilifelab.se ancient DNA unit is looking for an bioinformatician placed at Uppsala University. This is a great way to be part of diverse #aDNA research projects as a staff scientist with permanent (!!) employment:

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in @natecoevo.nature.comrdcu.be/eugWV

Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?

So very happy to see this out at @genomeresearch.bsky.social . Transposon wave remodeled the epigenomic landscape in the rapid evolution of X chromosome dosage compensation. Absolutely beautiful work by Dave Metzger genome.cshlp.org/content/earl...

As it's grant rejection time in Sweden too, all in one week and in the midst of a very dark November no less, this will certainly resonate with many more.

And yes! Academic institutions should check (extra!) on their researchers right now, so many of us are not okay!

Our study is out where we study associations between immune genes (MHC class II) and 16s microbial diversity in Rana arvalis. Great study and great team , @JacobHglund1 , @RodinPatrik, @sweediepetie , @Aka_RichterBoix , Jürg and Laurila

Hidden labour is all over academia and open science. Let's change that! We published a paper with some suggestions, but what we're most excited about is to hear from you in the comments section at @plos.bsky.social website - go there and add your voice to the choir!
