Annotation of #genomes is crucial: it helps us know what all that #DNA is actually doing 🧬 #DarwinTreeOfLife genomes are annotated by Ensembl using a re-engineered version of their Gene Annotation System. Check out our annotated genomes here: projects.ensembl.org/darwin-tree-of…

Here we go... The The Royal Society #SummerScience Exhibition starts today! 🙌 The #DarwinTreeOfLife exhibit is up. Our scientists are energised. And we can't wait to chat about our #science with all-comers over the next 5 days 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧬 darwintreeoflife.org/royal-society-…

Amanda Hopes today at the ⁦UEA School of Environmental Sciences⁩ Research Colloquium presenting 10x #genomes from different strains of the #polar #diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus. Work is part of our long-term experimental evolution project funded by ⁦⁦The Leverhulme Trust⁩ #UEAScience

Aphelids are the sister clade to Fungi, and this time is for sure! Check out our new publication in Society of Systematic Biologists with @guifftc and DEEM team Orsay in which after using data from three aphelid genera we have confirmed that the Opisthosporidia is no more academic.oup.com/sysbio/advance…
