NEW IN @molecology!!!
Are you using SNPs🧬 of a bird or mammal population? You are probably forgetting a crucial filtering step! 😱

In their most recent study, Duntsch et al. investigate individual and temporal variation in #inbreeding and report #genome-wide and region-specific inbreeding depression signals for a species of #conservation concern, the #Aotearoa New Zealand #hihi

Today was a great day at @VicBioCon! I talked about how forgetting to remove #sexlinked loci from your SNP dataset can lead to spurious results and wrong management recommendations. *Do* remove your sex-linked loci, friends! #bioinformatics #genomics #conservation

ARI Seminars are back for 2023! We've lined up Dr Andy Danylchuk (@UMassAmherst) and Dr Jarod Lyon (#ARIscience) to learn about the role of community engagement and captive breeding in fish conservation. Register at events.teams.microsoft.com/e…

#Preprint 🚨Led by @Georgette_F from her bachelor🤯thesis at @lcgunam. Generated 130+ years old and modern genomes of the Seych paradise flycatcher. Used pop gen, demo rec and fwd simulations to study gen load and adaptive potential over time. Brief 🧵 1/7 shorturl.at/pyV49

All I want for Christmas is for young children & babies to be included in the covid vaccination program - like they have in the USA, Canada, Singapore, HK, & for every other person in Oz over 5yo - so their development can be protected from this monstrous multisystem pandemic.

Our new HeHo paper is just out!!!🧬🤓
We present the genome AND linkage map of the✨HeHo✨
What does this mean for its conservation? Check the video⬇️and the paper at @GigaScience: academic.oup.com/gigascience…

Jessica Presnell @latrobe is using genomics methods to understand hybridisation and genotype-phenotype associations in an endangered bird, the Black-eared miner, which is threatened by genetic introgression #VicBioCon22

We see you, parents.
Our thoughts are with the parents facing impossible choices as we return to school and work in the face of the omicron surge. In the coming weeks, many will face massive life disruptions and illness, after sacrificing so much to avoid it for so long. 1/3

Wanna know how to upload a genome to @NCBI ? Watch the VIDEO below! ⬇️
Last week I wanted to upload the new #HeHo_genome 🧬to NCBI and I could not find any short video to teach me how. So I made my own! 🤓

New research opportunity at ARI- we're looking for a birdo who's collaborative, a clear communicator and has experience in science leadership. The position is until June 2024, for more details, see the job description at tinyurl.com/34558myf #ARIScience
The latest from the world of helmeted honeyeater genomics 🐤🧬 Congratulations Diana! 🌟
So *thrilled* to share my first paper!!! 🤓🧬🐤
Can you help an endangared population form mating pairs that are better for its genetic health?
Check the VIDEO ABSTRACT below and the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13…

Some excellent techniques for managing supervisors right here… (ps. As one of said 5 supervisors I can only aspire to Diana’s amazing organisational skills! 😊)

@danieastick has shown that ~30% of Gould's wattled #bat sets of twins are fathered by different individuals. Multiple paternity may be one explanation for why this species has adapted so well to our cities. Also a great photo of how big the pups are - ouch! #vicbiocon20
