Congrats to @ckgoodfellow, who published the results from her 1st @IE2_uoregon lab rotation project in @AmJournalPrimat! She shows that gut microbiome divergence mirrors a social group fission event in colobus monkeys. Also w/ @EvaWikberg + @tabor_whitney. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New preprint today! Tauras Vilgalys-led comparative analysis of DNA methylation patterns in extant baboon species. Largely mirrors genetic structure, but also affected by mean methylation level, functional context, and, in some cases, natural selection. biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
