We’re drowning in videos of police abuse: cops cars running over protestors, an officer shoving a petite woman so hard she had a seizure, cops shooting rubber bullets at reporters on live TV. It’s clear who is escalating violence.

Our new preprint with @FilipKolar7 and others is out :)!! The degree of #genome-wide gene reuse depends on the level of genetic #divergence between #parallel lineages. Thank you for very nice collaboration @tanjaslotte @Graham_Coop! #evolution #Arabidopsis disq.us/t/3n7csyi

Dear Tweeps, I don't feel like talking about science today. The situation in my Italy, my home country, is dire. The hospitals are running out of space to treat patients and the medical devices start being a limiting factor. 1/4 #iorestoacasa #litaliachiamo #forzaitalia

Mycorrhizal fungi can facilitate co-existence of competing plants. Fascinating!

Read Until to enrich >700 genes to mean 30x coverage on @nanopore single flowcell. Custom panels (up to 25,600 targets so far) as easy as providing a coordinate file. Read more at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… - thanks to @alexomics, @Rorymatics and @DeepSeqNotts team.

Here is our study of the rapid radiation of Trichophorum & allies, tackled with RADseq. We show widespread homoplasy of features used to recognise genera. Morphology correlates better with climate than phylogeny. All segregate genera sunk in Trichophorum: authors.elsevier.com/a/1aTlq…
