Collecting #poplar #rust (#Melampsora larici-populina) on Lombardy poplars (Populus nigra 'Italica') for population genetics analyses. Rust pustules were hard to find this year, given the large number of leaf spots caused by Sphaerulina populi. #TreeHealth #ForestPathology

📢 Attention all #EvolutionaryBiology enthusiasts! This is your LAST CALL to submit proposals for Symposia at the upcoming #ESEB2025 Congress. 📩 Submit your Proposal now: bit.ly/3YJvb7e We can’t wait to see what you bring to the table!

For today's seminar, Francis M. Martin takes us on a journey "Into the heart of subterranean darkness: Harnessing genomics to unravel the saprotrophy-to-symbiosis continuum"

We show here that deleterious mutations can really be a signifiant force driving the evolution of recombinaison suppression on sex chromosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled that my first PhD paper is now out Molecular Biology and Evolution investigating mutation rates of Plasmodium nuclear and organellar genomes, and what that means for current molecular dating hypotheses of malaria parasites 👇 tinyurl.com/T92mbe

This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:
