I don't use this platform much anymore, but I'm happy to share our work on sexual selection and the genomics of speciation in barn swallows. Thanks for reading and sharing, if of interest!

A story of transposons, innate immunity, and how human (and primates) possess an endogenous system to tune interferon response through the relative expression level of a signaling receptor and its alternatively spliced decoy.

I’m excited to share our latest study led by @GiuliaPasquesi out today in @CellPressNews , uncovering a new way transposons have been repurposed for human interferon signaling! Read on for a thread on cryptic splice variants, decoy receptors, and viruses (1/N) 👇🧵

My first chapter is out! This was an enormously challenging project but I learned a lot and am very excited to share with you the hidden world of ultraviolet coloration in snakes.

@Greg_Owens Incredible, thank you! I always forget this behavior, and it always drives me crazy when I try to kick off an analysis after forgetting this behavior.

I GOT TENURE!! It doesn’t take most people TENyrs… but with 2 kids and a pandemic it has been a journey. Thank you to my incredible mentors, advisors, and supporters. This is really the accomplishment of the brilliant scientists in our lab – you are the best! 🥳#phlox4ever

@evilsmaug Totally read "for vertebrates" in the way Aragorn says "for Frodo" in the Return of the King film.

The last of our target #snake species on our Namibian fieldtrip was the hardest to find! Bitis xeropaga, the desert mountain adder, is a rarely seen viper found in arid mountains of southern Namibia and parts of South Africa. We were lucky to stumble upon a juvenile! @CSRIatLSTM
