New paper published today in PNAS! We used a telomere-resolution genome for the eastern diamondback rattlesnake to investigate the epigenomic basis for age-related changes in venom composition. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

We generated a comprehensive characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire for the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, describing hundreds of OR and V2R genes occurring in large tandem-repeat arrays in the genome including sex chromosomes.

At long last, I'm pleased to share our findings characterizing the genetics of rattlesnake chemoperception! 🐍 Paper out today in JME with @drokyta, @micaiah_ward, @GibbsLabOSU, @scalesproject, @floridastate Link: rdcu.be/ci8Mk

I'm beyond stoked to have been chosen for the #EECG award! Thank you @theAGA_org for supporting my work! 🐍🐍🐍

@willwbooker You should talk to anyone from the Rokyta lab (@Mike_Hogan_)

@willwbooker I like using IQ tree online to reorder and junk, then export back the adjusted/ reordered newick tree.

Had a very special moment in the forest this weekend stumbling upon this juvenile gopher tortoise. *Found 🐢 right off the main trail and kept our distance!

Had a great time with my fellow lab members @KylieLawrence18, @Mike_Hogan_ , and @Schy_Ellsworth at #Evol2019 and met so many awesome scientists! A special thanks to everyone that came to my talk on antimicrobial peptide diversity in scorpion venoms! 🦂

Congrats to Rhett @ReptileRhett and Erich @ErichPHofmann plus the rest of the team on their Crotalus cerastes venom evolution paper- earned the cover-, this is Rhett's second cover during his graduate career and the ParkinsonLabs second cover this year! doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

@ShellyGaynor @ReptileRhett This is the figure to rule all figures... freaking perfect.

It took @ReptileRhett at least two days to make this figure - check out his new pub:

@ErichPHofmann Where can I get one??

It’s been a fun day hosting fellow #iVAMP collaborator @HiDrNic & getting some preliminary venom data collected. @drokyta #Venom lab PhD students @Schy_Ellsworth & @gunnar_nystrom show how the pros collect venom from tiny beasts! Rig pics compliments of @MattL_Holding

Was great to host the folks of @SnakeLabClemson last week in @drokyta lab @fsubio for a joint prep of lots of new 🐍🧬 sequence data for the @scalesproject. Celebrating here with @maddreptiles @ReptileRhett @jstrickland63 @Mike_Hogan_ @micaiah_ward, @KylieLawrence18, Mark Margres

What an #allstars caste for this one! I might have to tune into and get educated about all things #venom and #outreach 🐍🕷️🦂
