New article show siphonophores exhibit a broad range of nuclear genome sizes suggesting significant genetic diversity within this group. In contrast, mitochondrial gene order seems conserved among #siphonophores ! I wonder what evolutionary pressures led to their variation in…

Many thanks to the amazing Sarah Stone for drawing this gorgeous art from my ugly sketch! And thanks to GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) for choosing it! academic.oup.com/gbe/issue/16/4

Our latest paper in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) describes the identification of 1000s of CNEs in 51 #genomes , providing evidence that transposable elements are a major source of CNEs that may play a critical role in the evolution of regulatory potential.
