Excited to report the final version of our paper out today: In eLife - the journal: Regulatory genome annotation of 33 insect species doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Kudos to all involved in this monumental effort that provides a preliminary regulatory annotation of 33 insect genomes. (1/3)

New paper in EvoDevo, led by ABLV, on the early development of the German cockroach. Cool embryology and weird deviations from most of the well-studied insect models. Note teasers for an upcoming paper on the evolution of arthropod tagmosis. rdcu.be/dYeNI

I am also joining the mass migration to bluer skies. I will continue to lurk here, but mostly for local/current affairs. All of my science activity will move to the other place.

I´m excited to announce that we have a venue and dates for the next International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM-6)! All invertebrate lovers, let's meet in 🇨🇱 next year from August 10th to 14th. 👇👇

Here it is! This incredible result is the product of great work led by Aparna Lajmi with lots of contributions from the rest of the lab. Our best paper ever, by far. The discovery of the antiquity of the social chromosome opens the way for future studies in many other species.

On the bus home after publishing the preprint of our best paper ever, by far. Have you ever wondered how complex traits have evolved repeatedly across the tree of life? May be we have some answers...
