As a reminder, single-copy orthologs identified using OrthoSNAP are largely indistinguishable from traditional single-copy orthologs across multiple dimensions of phylogenetic information bsky.app/profile/jlst...

Happy to share Jialin's first publication. She did a great job exploring the transition to land in animals. Co-supervised by the great Jordi Paps and me and in collaboration with Davide Pisani and @phil-donoghue.bsky.social

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.
NEW pub in @science.org 🥳 Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life? For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided. We provide new evidence suggesting that... 🔗: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
@xodroont.bsky.social et al. explored the diversity and evolution of opsins using meta-omic data from the Tara Oceans and Tara Polar Circle expeditions, identifying opsins across the different metazoan groups. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf189 #genome #evolution #opsins
Thrilled to share our new paper in Genome Biology & Evolution! 🌊 We discovered an ocean of opsins in marine zooplankton — unveiling how these animals evolved to sense light across the world’s seas. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #MarineBiology #Evolution
An Ocean of Opsins
Abstract. In this study, we explored the diversity and evolution of opsins using meta-omic data from the Tara Oceans and Tara Polar Circle expeditions, one

New preprint reveals bacteria can't just collect all resistance genes like Pokemon cards. We found mutually exclusive evolutionary pathways to multidrug resistance in E. coli & P. aeruginosa - some resistance mechanisms actively prevent others from coexisting www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Genomic constraints shape the evolution of alternative routes to drug resistance in prokaryotes
Background Variation within the prokaryotic pangenome is not random, and natural selection that favours particular combinations of genes appears to dominate over random drift. What is less clear is wh...

Something geeky outside the science geek. The constume was designed by me starting from the in game Alakazam 3-D model! I am quite proud of it! Thanks to @GMennellla for the amazing interpretation! #Pokemon #cosplay #luccacomics #luccacg24 @PokemonIT @Pokemon @LuccaCandG
