Our latest paper in @GenomeBiolEvol describes the identification of 1000s of CNEs in 51 #genomes, providing evidence that transposable elements are a major source of CNEs that may play a critical role in the evolution of regulatory potential. Check it out! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…
As a lifelong Kansas City football fan, I'm thrilled the city voted yesterday AGAINST giving billionaires tons of public money. Pleasantly surprised. Maybe the days of giving billionaire sport team owners tons of welfare are becoming a thing of the past!

Can next-gen sequencing and ecological niche modeling explain the success of invasion and extent of introgression between native and non-native fishes? We found that yes, they can! My newest paper came out today in molecular ecology (@molecology) : doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…
New paper alert! Lead by @JordanHHartman (w/ @Mark_A_Davis79, @PhilipWillink & @ERLarsonLab), we tested theories of niche conservatism & biotic resistance on success of invasion, admixture & extent of introgression b/w native & non-native fishes Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

@TaylorFishLab1 “Important part of modern biology” = disproportionally funded. I’m far from a hot-taker, but that phrase implies that publications are how practitioners measure importance, & fewer publications equates to less importance
