Interactive schedule (2.0) for SMBE2026! Enjoy the conference #SMBE2026 moicoll.github.io/SMBE2026_sch...

So excited to announce our search for 4 postdocs (funded by the Simons Foundation) who will use genomics to "test how ecological interactions, natural selection, natural enemies, hybridization & environmental gradients shape...tropical tree communities" in Panama: stri.si.edu/story/bci-ev... ...1

Ao verme que primeiro roeu as frias carnes do meu cadáver dedico como saudosa lembrança estas memórias póstumas.

We are advertising a PhD studentship to study the effects of mitochondrial function on cell motility in flies. The project is supervised by myself, Nick Lane and @fcamus.bsky.social, in collaboration with Anna Franz at UCL, @stramerlab.bsky.social at KCL and Michael Sixt at ISTA. Please repost!

Looking forward to sharing one of my favorite projects of all time, developed with some of my favorite people! (with astonishing illustrations by @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social) Tuesday 12:00 pm Room 21 #Evol2026

Excited for #SMBE2026! Come and hear about our research on the evolution of competition-colonization trade-offs over centuries in plant pathogenic bacteria. Looking forward to the discussions! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Happy to announce that I was awarded a Young Investigator Grant by FAPESP to explore causal associations in Macroevolution! Looking forward to starting my own team in the near future, and hopeful that this will help me get a permanent job eventually! fapesp.br/18114/chamad...

Sextando com tabela S24 feita!

If you are at #SMBE2026 at the end of the month, go and listen to @deboraycb.bsky.social about detection balancing selection with ARGs! S08, on Tuesday morning.

#SMBE2026 S07: From Trees to Graphs: Methodological Advances and Innovative Applications of Graphs in Evolutionary Analysis 🗓️ Tue Jun 30, 10:20am 🔗 smbe2026.org/programme

We are excited to share our pan-pangenome paper! This is a long time coming work of my postdoc with the incredible @psudmant.bsky.social, and a stellar group of people! I hope you enjoy reading it! And I am excited to talk more more about it this week at #PEQG26!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A Pan-pangenome illuminates complex structural variation and selection in humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos

Complete, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies have provided unprecedented insight into the evolution of structurally complex, rapidly evolving regions of human genomes; however, population-scale pang...

Super excited to be launching two things today: #RustQC 🦀🧬 and rewrites.bio 🚀 I used AI to rewrite 15 RNA-seq QC tools into a single Rust binary (I've never written any Rust). It ended up being over 60x faster. Here's the story 🧵 seqeralabs.github.io/RustQC/

Our paper is on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social : a strawberry poison frog with the most common color morph, living up to its common name 🍓. In this issue, we uncover the genetic basis of color variation in frogs from Bocas del Toro, where blue, green, yellow, orange, and red morphs occur
