Genetic distance predicts the spread of deadly fungal infections in bats

Posted on 14 Oct, 2015 by Rob Denton

You’ve probably heard about White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), the particularly nasty fungal pathogen that has decimated North American bat populations over the last decade. Not only has WNS been extremely deadly, but the speed at which it’s spread has been alarming. Really alarming: Understanding … Continue reading →

The Goldilocks zone of missing data

Posted on 16 Sep, 2015 by Rob Denton

Reduced representation sequencing approaches, such as RADseq and UCEs, have provided some fascinating inferences in recent years, but something has always been missing in these analyses: data. As sampled taxa become more divergent, the price paid for more loci is … Continue reading →

Mike Sovic on what comes AftrRAD

Posted on 4 Feb, 2015 by Rob Denton

We’ve recently been highlighting some discussions comparing different protocols for restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq). We’ve seen the pros and cons of multiple techniques, but what happens when you finally have thousands of shiny SNPs sitting on your hard drive? Multiple … Continue reading →

Totally RAD, Part 2

Posted on 7 Jan, 2015 by Rob Denton

Edit (8/20/15): I used the wrong web address for Kimberly Andrews! Go check out her work here. Sorry Kim! Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) is quickly becoming the go-to methodology for collecting population genetic data, and the methodological difficulties of … Continue reading →
