🧬 TiBE STRIVE 2026 📍 Vila do Conde, Portugal 📅 8–10 July 2026 A conference on trends in biodiversity and evolution, with a focus on the evolutionary role of structural genomic variation. @eseb.bsky.social @strivestn.bsky.social
SEAGEN - Rui Faria
@ruimmfaria.bsky.social
Evolutionary biologist primarily interested in the role of chromosomal rearrangements in adaptation and speciation. Group leader of Seagen at CIBIO University of Porto, Portugal.
Structural genomic variation is a powerful force in evolution. TiBE 2026 explores its role in shaping biodiversity across the tree of life. 🌿🧬 @strivestn.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social
2 plenary, 3 mini-plenaries, 27 regular talks and many posters in our awsome conference on the evolutionary role of structural variation . Deadline for registration (30 of April) is approaching fast. Do not miss this opportunity. tibe.biopolis.pt

"Era aceitável que Luís Montenegro continuasse em funções se fosse ministro de um outro qualquer primeiro-ministro? Não." A opinião de Ana Sá Lopes
Montenegro pode ser Sócrates 2009 - quem tem ética passa fome
Um primeiro-ministro cuja ética já causava muitas dúvidas foi reeleito perante a anomia do seu partido e do eleitorado. Muitos do que falam de “lama” no caso Montenegro já usavam a palavra em 2009.

João Miguel Tavares: "Aquilo que temos na prática é um primeiro-ministro a ser pago por empresas privadas no exercício do cargo. Isto vai muito para além dos conflitos de interesses. É mesmo um enorme escândalo nacional."

Com a crise que temos no sector imobiliário, parece-me eticamente degradante que muita gente do nosso governo tenha exactamente um negócio nesse sector e lucre com isso. Não resolvem os problemas como aliás contribuem para a subida do preço das casas e ganham com isso.
Short insertions and deletions are abundant but are they useful markers in genome scans for divergent selection? Hybrid zones in Littorina suggest they can add to information from SNPs, despite stronger purifying selection: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Perini, Butlin and @anjamwestram.bsky.social
Short INDELs and SNPs as markers of evolutionary processes in hybrid zones
Abstract. Polymorphic short insertions and deletions (INDELs ≤ 50 bp) are abundant, although less common than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Evide

main society concern of the day: did cute fox pictures replaced cute cat pictures in bluesky? I heard about some circus in the White House.....but I think we should simply ignore the clowns. Would lack of attention make them gone?
