I'm so pleased to share the latest work from @Y_Lin_Evo! She found extensive variation in germline de novo mutation rate in guppies, with interesting implications about the genetic basis of rapid adaptation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with @IDarolti @_Axeman_ and Jake Morris!







Detecting signatures of selection on gene expression rdcu.be/cNukP @alielw et al review the main approaches, link phylogenetic comparative methods and transcriptomics, and use simulations to show that shifts in tissue composition can bias inferences of selection.
