Spatial Sorting Manuscript
Posted January 22, 2025
Super-student Nikunj Goel (now a postdoc with Mevin Hooten) has posted a preprint to bioR$\chi$iv. Nikunj has extended the theory of natural selection to include spatial sorting, a process in which dispersal-linked genes are disproportionately represented in newly colonized regions. The cool thing is that he developed the theory and used that to figure out what to measure. He found folks that had relevant data and closed the loop. A really impressive bit of theory-data integration. Check it out here.
