Georgy's most recent work on the genetics of variation in spatial cognition in food-caching chickadees was just published in Current Biology. This work is the product of a collabroation with Dr. Valdimir Pravosudov and his lab at the University of Nevada Reno, with contributions from other lab members including Sara and Ajay. This paper is a significant advance from our prior work using 42 whole genomes. Here we use 162 whole genomes and a new high-quality mountain chickadee reference genome to thoroughly explore the genetic underpinnings of variation in spatial cognition in mountain chickadees.
