Huge thankyou to Sion, Jordi Paps and all the organisers and helpers for #genomescience in Bristol. Absolutely brilliant meeting! See you up north next year 😀 #genomics



Looking for postdocs. We (@TelfordLab, Aoife McLysaght, Anthony Redmond, Davide Pisani) are looking for postdocs / newly minted PhDs to work on testing use of complex genomic characters to infer animal phylogeny. If you are interested please get in contact with any of us! Please RT.

Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. Michael Sars Centre Universitetet i Bergen bioRxiv #rejuvenation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Indeed, very nice piece discussing how several labs are unraveling the origins of multicellular life by studying unicellular relatives of animals! Also the great Jordi Paps is featured! #scicomm link: knowablemagazine.org/content/articl…


Thrilled to see our latest work on ctenophore reverse development featured on the cover of PNASNews 🤩 Work supported by Michael Sars Centre, Universitetet i Bergen, European Research Council (ERC) #ctenophores #evolution #rejuvenation👏👏👏Joan J. Soto-Angel & stunning📸from Alexandre Jan pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…


🚨Interested in #evolution and #synbio and looking for a PhD? Then come join mine, Tiffany Taylor and Jordi Paps labs to trace and shape the evolutionary paths of engineered biology! 🛠️🧬🧪 Project details here: bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.bristol.…, apply here: swbio.ac.uk/programme/how-…



The first opportunity is at the SWBio DTP, in collaboration with Jordi Paps at University of Bristol Biological Sciences to study ancestral cell types using single cell analysis and phylogenomics, combining wet and dry lab apply at : swbio.ac.uk deadline 11 December 2024

New preprint on the evolutionary position of Xenacoelomorpha using genome-level processes as source of phylogenetic information. Amazing work by Marta Álvarez in collaboration with the great Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo researchsquare.com/article/rs-552…

Happy to share that after more than 5 years this is out in preprint shape. Together with Jordi Paps and Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo, my two scientific brothers and friends, we dig into the origin of Bilateria using a genome-wide approach. 👇 researchsquare.com/article/rs-552…


Thinking of starting a PhD on Bayesian phylogenetics next October 2025?🎓You may want to check the TREES project led by the dos Reis Lab on integrating morphology and genomes for timetree inference! 🦴🧬💻Project supervisors: Mario dos Reis 🇻🇪🇵🇹🇬🇧 & Ziheng Yang. trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/integ…

🌱🧬 Exciting Update for #Multicellularity Fans! 📅 Preliminary program now available for the EMBO Workshop (Oct 9-11, 2025, Barcelona). Sign up for the latest updates & secure your spot! 🔗 multicellgenome.com Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) CSIC en Catalunya Biomedicina BCN EMBO


We offer three new positions to join BCA Moore Foundation: 1. A full-stack developer to work on the BCA database with EMBL-EBI 2. A senior research technician to develop sc methods 3. A bioinformatician to analyze new atlases with Wellcome Sanger Tree of Life Programme Details below. Please, share and repost.


I'm glad to see it's out! Congrats to all the co-authors and thanks to Jordi Solana and Jordi Paps for including me in this project. Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) #COMFUTURO Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo nature.com/articles/s4146…
