- Final version of this out now in that beautiful Amnat typesetting! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
- Happy to report the revised version of our manuscript on expansion load and diploidization in polyploids is now up on bioRxiv. Now with more robust results, 2 new equations (wow!), and about a dozen more supplemental figures. Check it out! 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- New preprint led by Zoë Humphries & I! We characterized rapid genome evolution and extensive degeneration in young Y chromosomes that arose in a repetitive region of low recombination. Taking a deep-dive into this phased assembly with Zoë and Stephen (not on this site yet) was super fun!
