Hello 3D genome people! Did you know that C. elegans has a good looking cohesin but no CTCF? The newly graduated Dr. Jun Kim @JunKim51053763 decided to look at what cohesin does for the compact, 100 Mb worm genome, fitting ~20,000 genes: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Biologists of Seattle! I live here for the next three months. Let’s go for a coffee or drink or hike so you can tell me about your research. I am also available to help with fieldwork or worm picking.
(Also, I'm mostly at bluesky now.)

Come hear about this work tomorrow at the Evolution meetings, #evol23! Friday, 2:45, room 130 (mutation session)
Who likes good news? We've received a notice of award for an NIEHS R21 to study how nematodes adapt to chronic radiation at Chernobyl. Excited to get to work with Sophie Tintori (pictured worm collecting in the red forest) to figure this stuff out.

🚨Preprint!
Sex ratio is under strong selection. With random mating, frequency dependence leads to a 50:50 ratio, but in patchy populations, female bias evolves. You might think that this is a solved problem, thanks to decades of theory starting with Hamilton. You’d be wrong! 🧵

Sol’s model was motivated by the real biology of Caenorhabditis becei, which lives in habitat patches (fallen fruit) on BCI, Panama, and has female-biased sex ratios achieved through superior competitive ability of X-bearing sperm. We suspect pat-effect sex ratios are common.
