It’s been a week of new ideas, new techniques, new friends, a little chaos and a whole lotta horseshoe crabs 🥳 #MolEvol2022 📷: Jaime Cordova

We have a new paper out (nature.com/articles/s4139… ) on the evolutionary history of the mammalian BDNF gene, which plays a critical role in brain development. This work is a collaborative effort with members of the Colak lab and Sergei Pond

Horizontal Gene Transfer Happens More Often Than Anyone Thought [in Eukaryotes] the-scientist.com/features/horiz… Excellent new piece by Christie Wilcox for The Scientist featuring the work of our lab and collaborators, as well as that of many greats in the field

Assistant Professor (Vanderbilt Earth and Environmental Science) Simon Darroch recently wrote a persuasive argument in Trends in Ecology & Evolution to unite #paleoecology and modern day #ecology with respect to species #range sizes. Check out our press release here: vanderbilt.edu/evolution/vand…

PhDs can be challenging and public discourse tends to focus on the negatives. To bring back some balance and positive momentum, this group of students sought to highlight the positive elements of the PhD experience. #AcademicChatter #PhDChat elifesciences.org/articles/81075…

"Similar to the ancient Library of Alexandria, mystery shrouds the genomic library of today... what stops us from understanding the link between the data we generate and their biological meaning?" 🧬Jacob L Steenwyk genestogenomes.org/the-silver-lin…

NEW Publication🥳 Molecular #evolution studies often rely on single-copy orthologs (SC-OGs), resulting in large gene families—like transporters—being ignored. We present OrthoSNAP, software for identifying subsets of SC-OGs within larger gene families. 🔗tinyurl.com/2c3enfay

Excited to announce my first single-author publication out today in PNASNews! I report the existence of a latitudinal ploidy gradient in three animal clades, with polyploidy becoming more frequent with latitude. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🎓 PhD studentship available to work on spatial transcriptomics of organismal novelty with me and Laura Piovani (PL apply by 15 January '23) at UCL Biosciences findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

Cool cover nature Based on discovery that stop codons don't stop but code (in some protozoan organisms) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Relaxed phylogenetics—as implemented in BEAST—enabled coestimating phylogenies and divergence times. Here, RokasLab and I celebrate the landmark study from Alexei Drummond et al. with a historical and forward-looking perspective piece in PLOS Biology 🔗: tinyurl.com/nk5nbdvn

Chromatin 🤝EvoDevo and explains how skates evolved their wings 🧚 I am so thrilled about the publication of our little skate paper, a big collaborative effort with Tetsuya Nakamura Darío G. Lupiáñez Rafael Domínguez Acemel Juan Tena Dan Rokhsar and the late Jose Luis Gomez Skar ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share MBE's first Highlight! Learn how Antarctic icefishes have adapted to see under the ice -- Looking through the Ice: Cold-Adapted Vision in Antarctic Icefish buff.ly/3KCxWPo Gianni Castiglione EvolutionVU Belinda Chang's Lab Frances Hauser @alexvn Cell and Systems Biology

Incongruence in the phylogenomics era go.nature.com/441XSfU #Review by 🧬Jacob L Steenwyk, Yuanning Li, Xiaofan Zhou, Xingxing Shen & RokasLab

Over time, the prevailing notion that amino acid sequences are superior to DNA 🧬 in reconstructing #DeepPhylogenies has rendered AA-based phylogenies an unquestionable #phylogenomic practice

#FossilFriday Amazing #fossil discovery of a pregnant ground #sloth found w/an almost complete fetus in #Brazil. Honored to connect w/Drs François Pujos, Cástor Cartelle & Luciano Santos for New Scientist. Thank you, Sam Wong! newscientist.com/article/238264…

Open research fellowship in our lab! In the context of this project, various aspects of floral yeast metabolism will be studied, as well as their possible beneficial role in protecting bees against pathogens (bacteria and other fungi). 🐝 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/212468

We had SO MUCH FUN with EarthDayNash today! Check out some of the photos from the event! Big shoutout to those that volunteered at our booth including: DeSantis DREAM Lab RokasLab Allison Walker Rosseirys De La Rosa Thodoris Danis Karin Steffen Juan Carvajal García Allyson Ray

We are extremely excited to announce the 3rd edition of the EvoBio Crash Course! 🥳 We focus on providing a thorough course on the basics of #EvoBio and tips to build a career in the field directed to students from the Global South 💚 Register here: forms.gle/tJ9kaM9GsM86mx…

I would really appreciate retweets of this amazing PhD opportunity in a fabulous training network of European labs. Lots of opportunities for learning and travelling and networking. Deadline is end of June.
