Excited to share this press article highlighting our recent paper. We looked at the benefits and risks of genetic rescue & developed new metrics to quantify genomic compatibilityāto evaluate potential benefits and risks of rescue efforts

Can we safely use assisted gene flow to rescue endangered species without making things worse?
š§¬ Our new study in @molecology use newly devised metrics to explore genomic compatibility in Massasauga rattlesnakes, showing the trade-offs of genetic rescue.

Earlier this month, I was invited back to Purdue by @PU_OIGP to give the Closing Keynote Seminar at the 2024 Spring Reception where I discussed my research and journey in the fields of computational biology, genomics, and cancer.

New in ME!
Snake fungal disease (SFD) infects >40 š species. Experimental transcriptomics by @SamarthPhD et al show SFD is likely systemic with chronic effects on hosts with š„¶āļø temperature often resulting in severe responses.

Stemming from the discourse in conservation bio & molecular genetics, our study shows adaptive & neutral variation is indeed correlated, But itās more nuanced, as recent population declines breaks the link & makes future assessments less predictable

How do infected snakes respond to Snake Fungal Disease, an emerging pathogenic disease that infects over 40 snake species? Does temperature play a role in host resistance and recovery?

Conclusion:
SFD may be a systemic disease where chronic fungal infections might lead to the most profound physiological changes. We report candidate genes and putatively functional loci that can help future studies to improve our understanding of SFD hostāpathogen dynamics.
