Balboa et al. examine 67 whole African pig genomes, finding incomplete speciation between bushpigs and red river hogs as well as evidence suggesting that humans brought bushpigs to Madagascar 1000-5000 years ago. @renzobalb @lauradbertola @PopGenDK nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

To start the new year off well, we got another paper published! 🎉🎉🎉 We explore the evolutionary history of African bushpigs and their mysterious presence on Madagascar. The study was a team effort, with multiple collaborators, and co-led by @renzobalb, @AnnaBruniche and me. 🧵

I've always had a weak spot for red river hogs... So I'm very happy to co-lead this project with @renzobalb and @AnnaBruniche. BioRxiv preprint out now!

Our members are organizing a conservation genomic workshop at the #ICCB23 in Rwanda. It is particularly designed to give a chance to get bioinformatic training to those who will be travelling to ICCB and might not have a chance to attend similar workshops elsewhere. Pls retweet.

We're planning to organize a 2-day training course on Conservation Genomics, at #ICCB in Rwanda. We particularly like to encourage those colleagues who may not have frequent opportunities to participate in such courses. Registration will start soon (through the ICCB website).
