Tired of the uncertainty in dating? This one weird trick will bring back the confidence to your dating!

OMA (part of SwissOrthology) mapped rice seed germination genes to their counterparts in barley, revealing when and where they're active — a step towards improving crop resilience. Another example of how SIB Resources tackle challenges from food security to human health. 👉 sib.swiss/services/ope...

(1/2) Interested in plant evolution? We are opening two PhD positions in my lab at QGG - Aarhus University, where you will combine comparative genomics and machine learning to better understand and improve crop traits. #PlantSciJobs #evolution #genomics

#Paper Our new study on #Asgard archaea is out in Nature Communications. We find a distinctive evolutionary pattern: widespread #HGT, but genome expansion mainly through gene duplication. An interesting window into the origins of #eukaryotic complexity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/3) I am very happy to share that I’ll be moving to Aarhus University as an Assistant Professor in March. During these years, I’ve met so many great people who supported me on this path, and even if I can’t name everyone here, I’m truly grateful to all of you!

Interested in the newest developments in orthology? Check out the last Quest for Orthologs (QfO9) meeting report: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #orthology #function #domains #AI #paralogy Thanks to @sinamajidian.bsky.social and all co-authors for their valuable contribution.

Testing the "least-diverged ortholog” conjecture on >1M structs + expression across 16 animals & 20 plants, the LDO tends to retain ancestral function while the other copy specialises.
