Daniel and Matthew receive research awards!

Congratulations to Daniel Shaw for receiving an American Genetic Association’s 2022 Evolutionary, Ecological and Conservation Genomics (EECG) Research Award. With this award money, he will produce high quality long read genome assemblies to investigate the evolution of centromeres and structural variation in the stickleback genome.

Additionally, congratulations to Matthew Treaster for receiving an R.C. Lewontin Early Award from the Society for the Study of Evolution to characterize the expression patterns of Amhy to better understand how Amhy evolved novel function in sex determination.
