1/9 New in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado8005 How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.

A mosaic of modular variation at a single gene underpins convergent plumage coloration

The reshuffling of genomic variation from multiple origins is an important contributor to phenotypic diversification, yet insights into the evolutionary trajectories of this combinatorial process and ...

Happy to share the latest publication from our labs on the Apennine brown bear, a relict population not far from Rome, Italy. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2504409122 Thanks to great co-auths, we moved beyond our "genomic" comfort zone incl. cellular experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.

Trucchi et al. analyse genomic and transcriptomic data of Emperor and King penguins, finding that gene expression rates predict the strength of selection; expression should be considered a key parameter in estimating gene-specific selection. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf146 #evobio #molbio
