Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage
Genomic and functional analyses reveal that the potato lineage originated from a homoploid interspecific hybridization event between the Tomato and Etuberosum lineages 8–9 million years ago. The alter...

The only thing I can say, after seeing what happened in DC today (and will happen in weeks/months to come) is that American people voted for TRUMP - VANCE. Let's not forget it, it is what it is.

Such a nice gift on the post today: an award-winning book on the history of viral pandemics (for the general public) from my former student, before in Mexico and now at Grenoble. Aldo R. Camacho-Zarco, now an structural virologist, always a great human being. Can't wait to read it! (En Español)
Dear North American fellows, here the Mexican... We all love America (as you call your country), we all care about it, we all need it, we all admire it, we all hope for the best.. But I was wondering if we could leave American politics to X, or to actions locally. Just wondering.
