Heredity
@HeredityJournal
The Genetics Society's journal covering a broad range of general genetics research. Published by Springer Nature.
New podcast: Meet Heredity editor Bastiaan Star (University of Oslo), as we talk about his work with ancient fish DNA and why he enjoys working with the journal @archaeogenomics @biovitenskap @GenSocUK
Postdoc position in my group in Tokyo! Please get in touch if you are interested. And happy to discuss projects - ranging from developing new methods to analysis of new genomes that we are now sequencing in the lab. riken.jp/en/careers/res… Lab page: speidellab.github.io
