The UC Davis Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship is now being advertised. This is a great opportunity to come join our wonderful community of Evolution & Ecology here at Davis. Please RT.
University of California, Davis invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position focused on evolutionary approaches to understanding the origins of human morphological and/or physiological diversity, by studying changes in the biological characteristics of humans, our living and/or fossil relatives and the causes of these changes.

Our latest on the dramatic impact of colonial admixture and slave trade in South Africa. We identify strong male founder effects and displacement of Khoe-San peoples. 🇿🇦
Here the authors introduce a new method to study DNA in single cells by long-read sequencing. Their method gives a more complete view of the genomic structure of individual cells and allows to study genetic differences at the single-cell level.
About us:
We care about making accessible, reliable, and well-documented tools to lower barriers to everyone to doing good, reliable, and cutting-edge science. To do this we work to establish a supportive, open, and collaborative environment, by lowering barriers to entry, freely sharing access and resources, and prioritizing justice- and equity-focused contributions. See https://tskit.dev/community/ and https://kr-colab.github.io/expectations for more.
I'm looking for good resources to help new students organize comp bio projects. Best practices in data organization, reproducible code, documentation, collaboration. Any favourites?
I got a lot of mileage from Noble 2009 for data organization. (https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000424), but looking for more recent alternatives (incl. version control).
Today's #CornFax will also be it's own 🧵on a new preprint from yours truly and colleagues!
🌽 Where does maize come from? 🌽
(if threads ain't your thing, the preprint is https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.31.526540v1)
Maize doesn't look like other grasses, and this led to more than 100 years of confusion about its origins. Even accomplished 20th century botanists like Edgar Anderson were still unsure of what continent maize came from!

Lots to see on polar-orbiting satellite🛰️ today.
Let's go on a tour.
First: Zoomed out to all of California. Mostly clear skies over the Golden State today reveals the Sierra snowpack, green valley/hills, and water.
Let's zoom-in... #CAwx
