This morning, Pour la Science (pourlascience.fr) talks about ghosts!! A short article (in french) on our results on the impact of ghost lineages for the study of gene flow! web: pourlascience.fr/sd/evolution/c… pdf: medias.pourlascience.fr/api/v1/files/6…

Thanks to l'#Humanité_magazine for this double page (in french) on #ghosts and their impact for the study of gene flow!!! It's really nice to see the PhD work of @theotreecou at LBBELyon (with Eric Tannier and myself) being so well covered by mainstream medias!

RT @[email protected] This paper has not gotten enough attention! We are moving towards large-scale genomics. They reannotated 488 genomes in a comparative way! "TOGA integrates gene annotation with orthology inference at scale" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We know (1/2)

Please RT: a two-year #postdoc position is available to work with us in #Lyon on the population genomics of transposable elements in mosquitoes. #TEs #adaptation #albopictus. More details here: tinyurl.com/sce33nm7

very proud of super talented students Almoro Scarpa Riccardo Pianezza and FilipWierzbicki

Our new work in ⁦nature⁩ to explain how retrotransposons synthesize the 2nd-strand DNA by a circularization process. Story: made some cool findings (we thought) -> actually scooped 40-yr ago by textbook knowledge -> textbook appear to be incorrect. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Does low coverage WGS perform well in wild populations? Can imputation give a correct signal for quantitative genetic analyses or are huge reference panels needed? Drop by my poster tonight in #SMBE2023 at the San Paolo cloisters (poster 693) and find out...

Functionally different chromosome sets in a parthenogenetic animal showcase a survival strategy spanning millions of years. Where did we find this? In asexual #oribatid mites! With Jens Bast Mountain @Nguiglielmoni & more biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 1/n

“There’s definitely a little bit of sex going on,” says Darren Parker at Bangor University, UK, who has discovered that seemingly asexual stick insects occasionally mate in order to widen their gene pool. newscientist.com/article/239277…

New article in NatureEcoEvo with @qhelleu, @SamWuest1, and Laurent Keller. We dissect the genomic architecture of indirect genetic effects (IGEs) in A. thaliana and reconstruct the evolutionary history of IGEs alleles in Eurasian populations. nature.com/articles/s4155…
