Analyses of historical genomes reveal that German Shepherd #Dogs experienced significant genetic bottlenecks primarily after World War II and through the excessive use of popular sires, resulting in a massive drop in genetic diversity compared to early 20th-century specimens.

German Shepherd Dogs: Bottleneck effects shape breeding

Like many modern breeds, the German Shepherd Dog is susceptible to heritable disorders

Excerpt from student's PhD thesis abstract "I demonstrate the applications of genomics to three questions and three novel snail study systems, Cuban Polymita, Hawaiian Lymnaeidae and Japanese Euhadra."

Just where did it all go wrong?! 😲

Yes, this is my old license plate - #GENOMES … replaced with a new one due to “wear and tear” 🤣 And this is what I do! #EvolutionaryGenomics #Evolution #PlantBiology #botany #phylogenetics #bioinformatics #evodevo #Genomics

#Introduction

I've studied #biology and currently doing an MSc in #Bioinformatics - #ComputationalBiology, both at University of Athens, Greece.

I started my thesis on #genomics (#EvolutionaryGenomics specifically) by means of #computationalbiology.

The dream is to be able to combine #genomics with #math and specifically #complexity, #complexsystems and who knows, maybe even crazier math (#FunctionalAnalsysis I'm looking at you).
