#PopGen New preprint of the team on the discovery of a very high rate of polymorphic duplication in a marine bivalve.
Imagine looking at the distribution of the allelic coverage fraction at heterozygous calls in an indivdual and getting this distribution 👇 😱😱😱

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.
Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Studies show a massive return of fish and marine megafauna to sites with these underwater tidal turbines. How?
Simple: overfishing is prevented.
If they proved suitable for Irish locations, it would be *such* a win-win, generating clean electricity AND providing a haven for marine ecosystems.

I’m so happy that I’ve finally done a firefly&glowworm themed piece!
When we talk about bioluminescent insects, we usually first think of those flying & twinkling little fairies. However, many of them are in the form of wingless “worms”, and I found them equally fascinating 💙
