Biologists love balancing selection, but detecting it is hard! Luckily, many new methods to detect signatures of balancing selection from population-level genomic data have been developed recently, and we have a deep overview of those methods for you! 🧵

Before diving deep into recent methods, we provide the historical relevance of balancing selection throughout the 20th century 
We then explain the different signatures and timescales of balancing selection and the essence of the various methods: what genetic patterns they identify and at what timescales they can detect the signatures of balancing selection.
We present genomic evidence showing the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed during the #LastInterglacialPeriod!🇦🇶🌊🚨#popgen #icesheet #interdisciplinary
...the tipping point of future #WestAntarcticIceSheet collapse could be reached even under the #ParisAgreement (+1.5-2.0°C)

We used found population connectivity between Ross Sea and Weddell Sea in an #Antarctic #octopus, and dated it back to #LastInterglacialPeriod. This is only possible if #WestAntarcticIceSheet completely collapsed and opened seaway connecting 2 basins biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 🧵/9
This is my PhD work with @JanStrugnell @NeridaWilson @nick_golledge @naish_tim PhillWatts @Cataribio @iracooke @DrShmoo FelixMark, KatrinLinse. This work was only possible with their help+many hrs my advisors @JanStrugnell @NeridaWilson @Cataribio spent troubleshooting w me🧑🎓1/9
I read the @biorxivpreprint every day. I've recently been asked by various people what/why/how I read so here is a short thread that may be helpful to others: 1/
@biorxivpreprint I read abstracts of articles on the @biorxivpreprint every morning and every evening, and typically a few times during the day as well. I am sometimes delving into the main paper, usually starting with the supplement. 2/
@biorxivpreprint I search for articles on @Google using keywords (and filtering for "past 24 hours"), my lab has @SlackHQ channels where people post articles, I check @rxivist, and I read and search twitter by keywords for topics I'm interested in every day. I follow @biorxivpreprint. 3/
