In this position, as a postdoctoral fellow, I am using whole genomes for multiple species restricted to the eastern Amazon, to explore how intrinsic (e.g., mutation and recombination) and extrinsic (e.g., selection and gene flow) genomic processes can affect the phylogenetic signal and levels of polymorphism. Here we are leveraging the power of supervised machine learning (SML) to show that phylogenetic signals and demographic parameters vary considerably across the genome but in predictable… Show more In this position, as a postdoctoral fellow, I am using whole genomes for multiple species restricted to the eastern Amazon, to explore how intrinsic (e.g., mutation and recombination) and extrinsic (e.g., selection and gene flow) genomic processes can affect the phylogenetic signal and levels of polymorphism.
