Our #ragweed haploblocks paper is out! We used #herbarium samples to show that this major cause of hay fever has used large inversions to adapt during its invasion of Europe. Super proud of this work nature.com/articles/s4146… @MuseumEvoGen @BiekerVanessa @chocci_boi @NatureComms

Rogue ragweed multiplies as a result of species supergenes 🌱🧬: Supergenes present in ragweed enable the invasive species to adapt to foreign environments, research by @MonashBiol's Dr Paul Battlay, Jonny Wilson and Dr @shaky_dingo in @NatureComms shows: bit.ly/40DLTmB

.@MonashBiol scientists have found that ragweed's strong ability to adapt and thrive in new environments may have implications for hay fever sufferers. bit.ly/2FHMpLX #hayfever

I giving a public talk this Wednesday. It is about my research and my late partner's contribution to this research and so much more 🐇. Please come if you are in Melbourne bit.ly/3kosLcx @QueersInScience

How FAB is this lineup for our @midsumma Science at the Edge lecture series?!🌈🥳 We're so excited to hear from Deanne Fisher, @shaky_dingo & @KrystalDeNapoli! Only a couple of days left, so get your tickets now! 🎟️bit.ly/3kosLcx 🗓️ Wed 8 Feb, 6.30pm 📍 @VicPrideCentre

Structural variants continue to emerge as important mechanisms to investigate for plant invasions - Johnathan Wilson(@chocci_boi) @invasomicshub

@OBryanMoira Woohoo! Way to go @TravisKJohnson

It's finally out! @BiekerVanessa's enormous popgen study of recent rapid adaptation in 655 resequenced invasive plant genomes AND leaf metagenomes, using >300 historic herbarium specimens! With @shaky_dingo @JaeBrealey @chocci_boi & many others. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Achoo! Check out this massive effort led by @BiekerVanessa @MuseumEvoGen and I to uncover the genomic basis of invasion in ragweed using hundreds of historic and modern genomes @chocci_boi @MonashBiol science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1st paper of the #GlobalUrbanEvolution project came out today in @ScienceMagazine. How fitting to have clover on the cover for St. Paddy's Day 🍀☘️🍀☘️! We show that urbanization leads to similar enviro changes and repeated adaptation across the world science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/8

In this preprint on plant invasiveness, during 5 years @BiekerVanessa sequenced 650 ragweed genomes, incl. 300 historic herb. specimens! With an equal number of shotgun metagenomes, we investigate the enemy release hypothesis. Work with @shaky_dingo. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Hanna Rosinger for publishing her first paper. She did a fantastic job! The tip of the iceberg: genome wide marker analysis reveals hidden hybridization during invasion onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

@BradJunswick This is heartbreaking. I just posted a memory of him yesterday on facebook before I found out. I think of him whenever I see the hole in my rug ❤️ I am glad he found such a wonderful home with you. He is missed.

lou died tonight. i have no idea what to say. he was my best friend. he was the kindest creature i've even known. he lived 14 years. he changed my life. i'll miss him forever.

Thanks for the perspective piece by @JohnStinchcombe and @imengyuan on our recent paper on parallel patterns of adaptation in invasive ragweed @lavanboheemen twitter.com/evol_genomics/… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

It is finally out! Gigantic haploblocks/inversions do all the heavy lifting in sunflower adaptation (well, a lot of it)! Congrats to all involved @Nat_be @Greg_Owens @init_js @ShaghayeghSoudi @sam_yeaman @jmbrkphd @stephane_munos @licianova @hkchi12 nature.com/articles/s4158…
