🪅And the day has come! 🪅 Our symposium at #SMBE2024 in Puerto Vallarta 🇲🇽 is happening today! We will be “Unlocking the hidden dimensions of genomic diversity within species” Co-organizing with Diego H and Marina Brasó-Vives 👇

Interested in applying for a fellowship to do a PhD Université de Lausanne with my lab (bacterial synthetic biology) as a host? Send me a CV and a motivation letter till September 6th! unil.ch/ecoledoctorale…

For evolutionary biologists interested in tracing genomes back to their ancient ancestors, we’ve developed EdgeHOG—a tool that reconstructs ancestral gene orders at an unprecedented scale and speed. #Genomics #EvolutionaryBiology #EdgeHOG Thread!

Very proud to be part of this study led by Anna Malaspinas, published in nature, exploring the genomic history of Rapa Nui. Huge shoutout to Barbara and Victor for their amazing work! Check out our findings here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

🧬 El análisis de #ADN de 15 cuerpos almacenados en un museo de París reveló que los habitantes de la #IsladePascua, los rapanui, llegaron a América navegando alrededor del año 1300, dos siglos antes que #CristóbalColón. Los rapanui, originarios de Polinesia, se asentaron en la

Apparently the ecocide hypothesis for Rapa Nui is not true Time to change our lectures… nature.com/articles/s4158…

L’étude de quinze génomes anciens confirme que les ancêtres d’habitants de Rapa Nui avaient croisé des peuples indigènes d’Amérique du Sud, et met en pièces la thèse d’un effondrement de la population avant l’arrivée des Européens. lemonde.fr/sciences/artic…

History has to be re-written. Nice study about Rapa Nui’s population history. nature.com/articles/d4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…

Extremely happy that our work is now published in Journal of Evolutionary Biology (society journal ESEB ) 🧬🐒🐀🐋. Detecting diversifying selection for a trait from within and between-species genotypes and phenotypes. academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-ar… See 🧵below:

👏Second paper of the day for Chiara Auwerx! 📰Disentangling mechanisms behind the pleiotropic effects of proximal 16p11.2 BP4-5 CNVs cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

The last chapter of my PhD is out as a paper combo in AJHG! 🤩 Through a literature review & original study we explore the #pleiotropy of 16p11.2 BP4-5 #CNVs. 🕵🏻‍♀️ 🧬 #RareDisease #Genomics

Study: 📉📊We used #PheWAS, #Mendelianrandomization, and matched control analysis in the UK Biobank to reveal that some associations are direct consequences of the CNV, while others are mediated by the CNV’s impact on adiposity and education level. tinyurl.com/2xk27pb8

Thrilled to be presenting at the Pharmacogenomics session at #ASHG24 today at 11am! Stop by if you're curious about exploring causal relationships between drugs, diseases, and proteins. See you there!

Hello #ASHG24! Curious about how we can determine the parental origin of both transmitted and untransmitted alleles? Come check out my poster 4137 this afternoon!

Fantastic talk by Samuel Moix on the causal connections in drug-disease-protein triplets at #ASHG24! Be sure to catch up with him during the rest of the meeting!

Thrilled to receive the Early Career Award for my presentation at #ESHG2025! 🧬 Big thanks to all the amazing collaborators on this project — couldn't have done it without you. Grateful to the organizers and inspired by the science shared this week!

Congratulations Robin! We are proud of you! The wonderful thing about science is that a bit of your glory rubs off on all of us here at DBC! 💯🏆🥳
