Happy to share our latest preprint that aims to advance understanding of the relative roles of natural selection, environmental adaptation, and immediate plasticity responses in driving evolutionary adaptation to climate change in forest tree species. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Glad to share our recent review about integrating evolutionary genomics to inform future forest tree breeding amidst rapid climate change:-)

Delighted to see that our Populus super-pangenome study is featured as the cover story in the latest issue of Molecular Plant!

We have an open PhD student position in my group at Stockholm University to work on convergent evolution and loss of the balanced floral polymorphism distyly, using evolutionary genomic, transcriptomic and functional analyses. Apply at shorturl.at/acvFX by April 23 #PhD
Now out! New work led by @bmsacchi and Zoë Humphries, with colleagues from @eebtoronto @cageftoronto and @BFUavcr - TE invasion and gene loss happen on Y chromosomes with pre-existing recombination suppression, along with very high rates of rearrangement academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…
Interested in evolutionary genomics/population genomics and plant genetics? Want to do your PhD in beautiful Stockholm? We have two 4-year PhD student positions available in my group at Stockholm University. More info, see tanjaslottelab.se Please RT #ecrchat #PhD 1/4
Happy to share our latest work that construct the super-pangenome and unveil the genome evolution of the genus Populus

Happy to share our latest preprint of Populus super-pangenome, where multi-omics datasets were used to decipher the genome evolution in these widespread forest trees. Most interesting, we uncover a SV in the promoter of the CUC2 that may contribute to leaf serration divergence.
