You're gonna do great, u can do this. there's now way you could've slipped thru the cracks for your whole degree!! youre qualified!!! go get em

ok here’s the thing: my degree was so fucking easy because it was 100% common sense or things i’ve experienced as a) a mentally ill, very sick teenager or b) a carer to dementia’d parent?

anyway i put zero effort in and it’s totally biting me in the ass right now bc technically i’m a general med trained nurse and now i’m an emergency nurse!!! WHAT!?!? BUT thank you my dude :))))

(1/2) Hey! First off, I love your blog and appreciate the work you do (and will soon be appreciating on Patreon as well :P). I have a question about genomics as it relates to domestication. I have a paper that I need to summarise for class and I'm trying to understand how it fits into the broader field of research. The paper is a study which aimed to identify which genes can be associated with white spotting in Arabian camels.

there was a suggestion that understanding which genes are responsible for certain traits associated with domesticated animals will help increase our understanding of the process of domestication in general. My problem is that I don’t quite understand exactly how understanding of specific genes can help in our general understanding of domestication. Would you have any insight? Thanks for your time!

First off, thanks for not asking me to do your homework for you. I really like having questions like this because we can discuss related concepts but you’re not looking for someone to do the work. 

I would assume that the white spotting is something specific to arabian camels, which would line up with what I remember seeing where other domestic (or at least purposefully bred) animals started developing anomalous coloring - the SibFoxes showing up with piebald patterns is a good example. IIRC, it seems like coloration changes seem to happen kind of early in the selective breeding process that ends up becoming domestication in most cases. 

So I think it ties in because figuring out what specific genes cause coloration changes would let us look at when it occurs in the process more closely. Since it happens fairly early on and is one of the easily observable changes, it might help build a timeline for the rest of domestication? Or it might give scientists a way to watch how a specific gene is altered from the beginning, and then they could use those observations to extrapolate about how the same process effects other genes?

I’m making basically an educated guess here, so if anyone with more knowledge of the genetics of domestication wants to jump on, feel free.
