Happy to share results of the @bat1kgenomes.bsky.social phase 1, providing reference genomes covering 21 bat families. New insights into bat phylogeny, ancestral genome reconstruction, European origin & ancestral echolocation. Great work by a team of 100+ colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reference genomes and fossils revise bat family phylogeny and biogeography - Nature

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

【拡散希望】プレプリントを公開しました！poxvirusが「拡大に偏ったbirth-and-death dynamics」と「ゲノム構造に制約された遺伝子増幅」により遺伝子レパトアを増大させてきたことを示しました。当研究室のArnon Plianchaisuk先生@chainoratoが主導した研究です（1/10） www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thrilled to share our latest preprint on the #evolution of gene repertoires in #poxvirus, a group of giant DNA viruses of medical importance! 🦠🧬 #smallpox #mpox Check out the thread below for a summary of our key findings 👇

New preprint! We show that poxvirus gene repertoires are shaped by expansion-biased birth-and-death dynamics and genome architectural constraints. Led by Arnon Plianchaisuk (@chainorato) in our lab. Please share! (1/10) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Great meet up in Vilnius🇱🇹! #Vibiom2026 @cvrinfo.bsky.social @davidlrobertson.bsky.social @systemsvirology.bsky.social
