Amazing to see so much data on Hox genes in #Xenacoelomoprhs! Showing great clade-specific Hox variation and providing insights on the possible ancestral state and evolution of the xenacoelomorph Hox complement. Congrats Ulf, Joseph @yannbuck.bsky.social @saabalde.bsky.social #evolution

@yannbuck.bluesky.social et al. show that Hox gene variability between xenacoelomorphs and other bilaterians reflects selective retention of ancestral Hox content rather than affinity to either deuterostomes or protostomes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag094 📷 Ulf Jondelius #genome #evolution

GBE | Patterns of Conservation and Loss of Hox Genes in Xenacoelomorph Lineage Since Divergence From Last Common Bilaterian Ancestor Hox and ParaHox gene evolution within Xenacoelomorpha with photos of representatives of the Xenacoelomorpha clades on their respective branches. Xenoturbella is about 10 mm in length, wheras the other species shown here are 0.7-1.5 mm. Photos by Ulf Jondelius

It seems it's already typeset. That was quick! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...

Patterns of Conservation and Loss of Hox Genes in Xenacoelomorph Lineage Since Divergence From Last Common Bilaterian Ancestor

Abstract. The explosion of body forms found in bilaterians is thought to be tied to the diversification of Hox transcription factors, which play a critical

New manuscript out, led by @yannbuck.bsky.social, about Xenacoelomorpha's Hox repertoire. This was fun :-) doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...

A new method for trimming alignments in #phylogenomics — PhyIN. It identifies and trims regions with high phylogenetic discord. Able to trim well even on single loci — an advantage for gene tree/species tree studies. #evolbiol #phylogeny 🧪http://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.18504 Some backstory... 🧵

PhyIN: trimming alignments by phylogenetic incompatibilities among neighbouring sites

In phylogenomics, regions of low alignment reliability and high noise are typically trimmed from multiple sequence alignments before they are used in phylogenetic inference. I introduce a new trimming...

I think it's about time I introduce myself. Hello 👋. I am a JSPS researcher at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, in Kashiwa, Japan. I intend to generate high-quality genomes to learn about miniaturisation in gastropods. Before that... (1/2)
