The Fat/Hippo pathway drives photoperiod-induced wing length polyphenism biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

Did you realize that butterflies hear, and being able to hear the presence of a competitor increases mating success?

New results from comparative population genomics: Genes driving global adaptation -> low pleiotropy; genes driving local adaptation -> high pleiotropy. Consistent with migration-selection theory. Gabriele Nocchi Jim Whiting biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Introducing figeno, my visualization software for (epi)genomics🧬🎨. Supports many data types (bigwig, HiC, Oxford Nanopore data with base modifications, WGS...) and is easy to use with a GUI. Can visualize multiple regions (e.g. for breakpoints). github.com/CompEpigen/fig…

Attention scientists from all over the world!🙃The Call for Letters of Intent for the #HFSPFellowships is open, and we can't wait to know about your bold research ideas!🤩💪Have you submitted yours yet? More info: bit.ly/3ZMPQp0 #BasicLifeSciences #ResearchOpportunity

Study led by my student Viviana Di Pietro on the inheritance of alternative nest architectures in stingless bees available on the Current Biology website! Stacked or helicoidal nest architectural traditions persist across different worker generations! 🧵authors.elsevier.com/c/1inWS3QW8S6D…

Why are ~10% of humans left-handed? (🙋‍♂️) Exome-wide association study of rare variants in UK Biobank identified alleles of the beta-tubulin gene TUBB4B. Could be related to cilia function, which has been linked to other left-right asymmetries. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Super thankful for the large-scale infrastructure funding from FWO. 🙏🎉 Making accurate single-molecule long-read sequencing 🧬 available to all researchers in Flanders and beyond via Genomics Core Leuven & VIB Nucleomics Core will open up exciting new avenues for research! 🧪🧬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Excited to finally have this paper out after multiple years in the making with The Bellwood Lab, Reef Function Hub, and Peter Cowman

Our latest paper is finally out in Current Biology! Thanks to all my co-authors, it was a pleasure to work with all of you and I’m proud this paper is finally out. 🔈 Science people out there, check the paper, you won’t regret it, I promise!👇🏻 #stinglessbees #nest #architecture

Cool study on the inheritance of alternative nest architectural traditions in stingless bees now out in Current Biology! Study was led by my amazing PhD student Viviana Di Pietro with contributions of Ricardo Caliari Oliveira Helena M. Ferreira Maxime Fajgenblat Facultat de Biociències UAB & Embrapa MeioAmbiente 🧵

All organisms adjust which genes to express when to environmental conditions. Yet how genetic and environmental inputs are integrated to allow gene regulatory networks to act in an adaptive, context-dependent manner remains poorly understood. (1/3) doi.org/10.1371/journa…

1/13 🚨🚨 I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…
