You can still apply: Postdoc job opportunity! We're looking for early career researcher in evolutionary genomics to study the relation between intra-specific gene expression variability, polymorphism, and macro-evolutionary rates. We have all of the data in 3 fishes and amphioxus, just waiting for your expertise and enthusiasm!

Excited to read this, I've been worried about the recurrence of these peaks in #PSMC graphs for years. Also, just on time before we submit one (a first for me). #PopulationGenetics #PopulationGenomics #MethodsMatter

(If Mastodon doesn't show the Bluesky post: "Avoidable false PSMC population size peaks occur across numerous studies" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.09.028)

‼️These #PSMC #peaks are #artifacts‼️ Seen #PSMC results like this🤔? They are caused by ill-set parameters, #very #common, and #easy #to #solve! For details see 🧵& OA paper @currentbiology.bsky.social 🙂🐢🧬🎉! https://cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(24)01239-9

Really had to read this article for my current project:

Raynaud et al. 2023 “Performance and limitations of linkage-disequilibrium-based methods for inferring the genomic landscape of recombination and detecting hotspots: a simulation study”

So I wrote a quick step-by-step procedure to apply False-Discovery rate correction on HWE tests, starting from a VCF:

It is common to apply a “quality check” filter on a VCF file to retain only variants that do not depart from a neutrality expectation, namely the...
