We held our first virtual lab meeting under quarantine conditions today courtesy of the great coronavirus outbreak of 2020. A remarkable amount of work was accomplished. Great job to everyone in the lab for adapting to ever-changing circumstances and keeping up the good work!

In support of the growing genomics component of the Sword Lab research program, we’ve added a Genomic & Data Resources page to the website. The page provides links to publicly available datasets and analysis tools generated (or forthcoming) from several really cool population genomics and whole genome sequencing efforts we are involved in.
Congratulations to Tyler who successfully defended his dissertation and will officially become Dr. Raszick in December. Tyler’s work has already led to a postdoc project in collaboration with USDA-APHIS and USDA-ARS to refine boll weevil diagnostic assays based on his population genomics data.
