📢Meet the team! Dr. Tom Lewin is a post-doc from the University of Oxford. Recently returning from his research in Taiwan on marine invertebrates, @tomlewin.bsky.social will be focusing on understudied animal phyla as part of the #WGDip project Find out more about his research 🪸: shorturl.at/A5lHn

Lophophorata is monophyletic! Super excited to see this work out in Current Biology - we sequenced a phoronid genome and used shared chromosome fusions to confirm the monophyly of Lophophorata. A big team effort from the Luo Lab @yjluo.bsky.social! More here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1m3mV3QW8S...

Delighted to see our new paper out, led by PhD student Asia Hoile. We explored new genes that emerged during the early evolution of Lepidoptera 🦋 Many cool insights which we think open up new questions to explore. Get in touch if you have thoughts/want to discuss more! 🔗: tinyurl.com/48rx72es

Gene novelty and gene family expansion in the early evolution of Lepidoptera - BMC Genomics

Background Almost 10% of all known animal species belong to Lepidoptera: moths and butterflies. To understand how this incredible diversity evolved we assess the role of gene gain in driving early lep...
