Our paper comparing patterns of TE expression and regulation across multiple tissues and multiple vertebrate species has been accepted at Genome Biology and Evolution! Congratulations
Our paper on snake recombination has been accepted at Molecular Biology and Evolution! Using whole genome data from populations of two rattlesnake species, we characterize
We are coauthors on a new paper out in PNAS that uses a new genome for a shrew-like mammal to study patterns of venom evolution
Our new paper is now online at Genome Biology and Evolution! Using both high density RADseq and whole-genome resequencing data, we infer three dwarf island
