Happy 13th birthday to the world's finest gibbon poop sniffing dog! Enjoy a day filled with snarfles and romps in Québec, Pinkerton!
Lots of fun talking lemur genomics at @Concordia University for the Montreal Genomics series last night! nature.com/articles/s4155…
Hey! Take a look at our cool, new, long-read ring-tailed lemur genome assembly! @PalmadaMarc @MarquesBonetLab academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…
Great opportunities with a great PI in Vienna!
Three open positions in computational evolutionary genomics in Vienna! Phd+Postdoc+Data scientist at UniVienna in the group of admixture genomics, starting in August. More info: martinkuhlwilm.wixsite.com/maku/work Please RT!
The genomics of capuchin monkeys-big brains, long lives, and local adaptation-is published! Read all about our Cebus assembly and fecalFACS population genomics (#flowscatometry) in @PNASnews with @AMelinLab @tmarquesbonet pnas.org/content/118/7/…
Our new preprint led by @AMelinLab @Knomascus @mareikecora uses data from dozens of unpublished genomes from the consortium of @tmarquesbonet & Jeff Rogers to assess the risk to lemurs & lorises from SARS-CoV-2, based on variation in ACE2 sequences. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/7
Predicted SARS-CoV-2 risk in 51 species of lemurs and lorises: New AA variants and some clades at greater risk than others. Our latest preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0… @AMelinLab @nyuprimatology @mareikecora @locus_lukas @tmarquesbonet #COVID19

Check it out! 🙌🏽 My first first-authored paper (ah!) — couldn’t be more excited ☺️ Thank you to my fantastic advisor @bergeycm for being such a strong and motivating mentor!!!
New preprint! We investigated how the immune system of wild colobus monkeys reacts to Hepatocystis, a cousin of the malaria that plagues humans. It's the first first-author pub by the wonderful Amber Trujillo (@ambrquerquetrky)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Cheap sequencing will be a game changer for primate conservation genomics. Our review of primate genomics and diversity has just been published! @locus_lukas & @tmarquesbonet tinyurl.com/y4yojo3d
