The gull puzzle was back at #Biology26 🇨🇭🐦🧬 So honored to receive the Best Talk award. Huge thanks to the organizers for a brilliant conference and to everyone who came by to hear about the messy, wonderful world of gull genomics 🧬✨ #GullGenomics #WomenInScience

ERGA-CH #Switzerland @ergabiodiv.bsky.social symposium with a great selection of presentations of diverse study systems using reference #genomes #biodiversity #genomics

We’re learning so much from these gull genomes, and there’s still plenty more to discover! 🪶✨🧬 Keep an eye on the #LarOmics project! #Genomics #Evolution #Biodiversity25

Elisa Ramos brings us a presentation about #gulls at the #biodiversity25. The large white-headed gulls lineage has one of the faster #radiation processes of the birds of the northern hemisphere. LarOmics project aims to elucidate the genetic base of the gull #evolution.

If you're interested in the new "Pope Gull," you can learn more about it by exploring the recently published reference genome for this species (Larus michahellis) by our research group 🪶🧬 Thanks #LarOmics @davidmarques.bsky.social @joanameier.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

The Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis), recently better known as pope gull (Larus urbietorbicum 😁), has now a chromosome-scale sequenced reference genome! Our first publication from the #LarOmics project, congrats @eksramos.bsky.social et al., see: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-...

It was great to talk about Speciation Genomics at GRC Speciation Seminars this last weekend! Thank you GRC junior researcher committee for the invite to be a discussion leader at this session. And many thanks to all the speakers, for the amazing talks and insights!🐟🦋🪰🌱

Very interesting! Recognizing and uniting different countries' strengths to drive the third era of genomics is smart. Investing in the potential of the Global South for this contribution is even smarter! 🌍 #Genomics www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The third era of genomics is at risk of being dismantled across the global south

The first era of genomics started with the publication of Watson and Crick’s notable work on the description of the DNA double helix in 1953. This era lasted 50 years, until the publication of the hum...
