Dr. Travis Glenn has published two papers in a special issue of Molecular Ecology Resources.
The papers were included in a special issue that Dr. Glenn was asked to co-edit. The papers are: “Capturing Darwin’s dream” and :RADcap: Sequence capture of dual-digest RADseq libraries with identifiable duplicates and reduced missing data”.
References are below and the papers can be found here and here.

Dr. Chi Zhang, recent graduate in the Bioinformatics program, has accepted a position at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Dr. Zhang will be an assistant professor in the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics and his research will be associated with the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
We offer congratulations and wish him good luck on his new endeavors!
Dr. Bucksch has been invited to speak at the EMSL Workshop in Multiscale Plant Modeling, at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory on August 25-26, 2016. The workshop will take place in Richland, WA.
Dr. Kissinger, Director of IOB and Professor in the Genetics Department, has published a News and Views article Nature Genetics.
IOB student Lexiang Ji has published in PNAS . The article is titled “On the origin and evolutionary consequences of gene body DNA methylation.” Dr. Bob Schmitz is the corresponding author.
Dr. Art Edison has been given a Fulbright Specialist Fellowship. Dr. Edison will teach NMR and metabolomics to students in Ecuador, spending significant time in country to teach, develop new collaborations, and recruit graduate students to the University of Georgia.
