Currently advertising for a 3-year, Wellcome Trust-funded post-doc position at UCL: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… aiming to disentangle the interplay between environmental pressures and our epigenome -- please inquire and/or pass along!

jobs.ac.uk changed the link for some reason -- it's this one now -- jobs.ac.uk/job/CSG467/res… will let you know if they change it again!

Currently advertising for a popgen post-doc position at UCL: jobs.ac.uk/job/CSC206/res… which includes opportunities to work on thousands of other unpublished genomes via collaborations -- please inquire and/or pass along!

Great work from Maria Derakhshan identifying CpGs with high interindividual methylation variation in multiple tissues and ethnicities, with evidence their methylation marks are established in the early embryo -- congrats Maria (& Matt Silver)! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Great new work by @JavierMenRev on disentangling pre and post-admixture selection signals in Latin Americans using a new method; see our preprint -- thanks to all contributors!

Great thread explaining our latest pre-print on disentangling pre and post-colonisation signatures of natural selection in Latin Americans, led by @JavierMenRev and @g_hellenthal. #CANDELA

Today at 12, Lluís Quintana Murci @QuintanaMurci At 5pm Carlos Flores @LabCflores

For those into fast haplotype-based admixture detection/dating, fastGLOBEROTTER out now (thanks Pongsakorn & Matthew!): ~4-20x faster than GLOBETROTTER. Possibly 2 fast & furious. Next up: GLOBETROTTER in outer space biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our paper “Inferring Population Histories for Ancient Genomes Using Genome-Wide Genealogies” is now published! This is our go at harnessing the amazing collection of ancient genomes available. Our approach reproduces many findings & makes new discoveries! doi.org/10.1093/molbev…
