Our lab is at #SMBE2026 🧬🤩 🎤 Gina Henderson: maternal genetics of immunity 🐑 (Mon 11.45 Main) 📊 Marie Raynaud: recombination hotspots & function🐦 (Mon A294) 🎤 Susan Johnston: selection on crossovers 🐦 (Tue 14.30 Main) 📊 Lisa Ammer: sex-differences in CO landscapes 🐦 (Tue B196) And we are hiring 👇🏻

Still some time to apply to our postdoc position - deadline 3rd July. I'll be at #SMBE2026 if anyone would like to chat about it 😊

📣🧬 Postdoc Alert🧬📣 We are hiring a 2+ year NERC-funded postdoc at Edinburgh Uni investigating causes and consequences of sex differences in recombination in house sparrows in Norway. Informal enquiries welcome at Susan.Johnston@ed.ac.uk 🙂 Details here: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

This week we kicked off fieldwork for RECOSEX project in beautiful Åfjord, Norway. We plan to combine multi-omics information with long-term ecological data from house sparrows to understand causes and consequences of recombination patterns in both sexes. We also learned that sparrows love cows ❤️

Hello BlueSky 🌞 my group has a large project growing arms and legs, and we've decided to graduate from post-its to a project management software (kanban or similar). Any recommendations from academics? Ideally with clear project roles, a task tracker, and as lo-fi as possible!

A must read for conservation geneticists on the utility (or not??) of using molecular diversity to predict adaptive potential 👇🏻

Are you a recombination researcher heading to #SMBE2026? Submit your abstract to our Symposium, organised by Marie Raynaud, Laurent Duret, and myself. We're excited to have Aurora Ruiz-Herrera from UAB Barcelona as our invited speaker. 🧬🦄🦠🌿🐝🐟🍄🪱 @aruizherrera.bsky.social @duret-lbbe.bsky.social

Happy to have been awarded an @erc.europa.eu grant RECOSEX to investigate molecular causes and evolutionary consequences of sex differences in recombination, using the wonderful Helgeland house sparrows as a model 🧬🐦 #ERCCoG 1/2 (Photos: Peter S. Ranke & Hamish Burnett)

I'm missing #eseb2025 but the lab is well-represented 🤩 📊 Kenneth Aase: genomic prediction of crossover rates (Mon S03) 🎤 Lisa Ammer: sex-differences in CO landscape (Thu 11.30am S28) 📊 Gina Henderson: (no) selection on immunity (Thu S48) 📊 Marie Raynaud: recombination hotspot variation (Thu S02)
