Looking for a #PhDposition in #EvolutionaryBiology? Then consider applying to this position: mrborges23.github.io/mypage/positio… The project aims to develop phylogenetic methods to help us assess the prevalence and impact of gene flow during species divergence from phylogenomic data.

Super excited my first chapter is out now in Molecular Biology and Evolution! Thanks to reviewers and editor, we validated our genome-wide inferences with #DECUB in light of gene-specific heterogeneities on mutation biases and codon usage. 1/4 doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Looking forward to Darren Obbard is bluesky visiting our #PhD students! If you subscribed for #zoom announcements forms.gle/eaWbQEWvEN9A1z… you'll receive access details for this week's #PopGen Tuesday #webinar: "Mutation, recombination, and transposition in Drosophilidae."

What a great pleasure to have the chance to talk at Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution about transposon invasions in drosophilids! Thanks to the TE symposium organisers and to the great audience for the questions and feedback, I really appreciated #SMBE2024

Almorò & colleagues in Robert Kofler Lab identified multiple transposons horizontally introduced in Drosophila over the past century, underscoring the promiscuity of TEs and their ability to spread worldwide in a matter of years. Amazing ‼️ #cshlTE24

Incredibile conference! A lot of fun and a lot of great talks and posters on TEs at #cshlTE24 🧬

🧬Research Alert!🧬 PNASNews features our latest research 🐴 ✨ We explained the legacy of Oriental horses, embedded in a 1,500-year-old Crown lineage 👑 spread across continents and centuries! 🌍 🧵 1/5 #MSY #HorseGenetics #HorseBreeds #Ancestry pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Ready to present my poster at the Genetics Society meeting on TE regulation in Leicester! Pass by if you want to hear about cascades of TE invasions in flies 🪰

Super proud - our new work about two troublesome TEs spreading into several Droso species in just a few decades; it was so much fun to work with the amazing Riccardo Pianezza Almorò Dr. Sarah Signor rdcu.be/d5G1M

Our work is finally out! Two TEs that triggered a cascade of invasion after introduction to cosmopolitan species of Drosophila. Almorò Riccardo Pianezza Robert Kofler are such a pleasure to work with. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I'm thrilled to announce that our lab has relocated to @MPI_EvolBio MPI for Evolutionary Biology 🥳. I had a great experience starting my group at the institute of Population Genetics PopGen Vienna , and enjoyed collaborating with the population genetics community in Vienna.
