Thrilled to announce that the Bradburd Lab is moving to join the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Michigan @umicheeb @umich in Fall 2022!
In a new Science study, researchers introduce GAIA, a statistical approach that seeks to learn the geographic position of every genetic ancestor of individuals included in a genome dataset. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/4l79zLb #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/41Owy6f
Beyond proud of @meaghansaurus for a spectacular defense of her PhD today! SLiM, snakes, genomics pedigrees, inbreeding depression -- some really fascinating and important work to come from her dissertation. Congratulations Meaghan! 🤩🥳🐍🐍🐍
Our lab group is recruiting for a new Postdoc to join us. We are looking for someone to work on projects in Deep Learning and/or Spatial Population Genetics. Please share.
Inference and applications of ancestral recombination graphs go.nature.com/3XKl943 #Review by @ras_nielsen, @andrewhvaughn & @YunDeng5 @UCBerkeley
Super excited about this devious new method, DR EVIL, from @jgschraiber !
Excited to share this new preprint with @spence_jeffrey_ and @DocEdge85 in which we developed a method to infer demographic history and mutation rates from millions of genomes, and applied it to gnomAD v4 data. Read on for a brief thread! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Yesterday I wrote a thread about why an infographic circulating was misinformation. I wanted to respond to some comments and questions, offer a new (perhaps more intuitive) calculation (thread)
This is wrong, but there is a lot of confusion about why (thread)

Most people don't realize that interbreeding with other races means that strangers on the street from your own race are more related to you than your own child. Amplify this, @elonmusk and spread the knowledge!
Congrats to the whole team, especially our fearless leaders @petrelharp, @min_jiseon and my student Elsie Chevy, on this paper about pop gen in space: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. The paper is a "guide" as the title says, AND 1/4
Two new preprints from my group today---this one was led by @Dandan_Peng with an assist from Obadiah Mulder. Dandan benchmarked a bunch of leading ARG-estimation methods with respect to a specific goal (1/n)

New preprint! This study identifies partial sweeps at insecticide resistance genes that have spread across Aedes mosquito populations worldwide. These sweeps constrast with genome-wide admixture patterns and local resistance architectures biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
