The third week of the Gevol Python course for our PhD students starts today. Many thanks to Oliver Niehuis and all the other tutors. 💻

Guest speaker Liucong Ling gave a really interesting presentation about decoding cis-regulation in Drosophila🪰 in our Gevol Focus Group Meeting for Epigenetic and Gene Regulation. Thanks.

2 OPEN POSITIONS in our group Mainz University : #PhD on consequences of genomic changes during the evolution of ant slavery and #Postdoc to uncover the evolution and molecular regulation of insect cognition. More info here -> blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb10-evolution…

Our Gevol members PosnienLab - moved to: @posnienlab.bsky.social and @AnaGCatalan are invited speakers at the Spirit Summer School in Göttingen sponsered among others by SPP 2349 GEvol this year. Topic "Frontiers in Molecular Zoology"

Thanks for the warm welcome to our @dfg GEvol Meeting at Museum König in Bonn @BernhardMisof . We are looking forward to three days with great talks in this interesting location.

We had a really great first day of our annual GEvol meeting with great talks and socializing. We are looking forward two our second day.

Our PhD students proudly present the first results of their projects and use our annual meeting to get to know each other and to build the scientific networks for their future.

Thankful that so many GEvol members were able to attend our successful annual Meeting at the Museum König in Bonn. Thanks again to our invited speakers Dr. Josefa González, @SchwanderTanja and Michael Hiller.

New paper alert📢: We measured virus loads and prevalence in #honeybees, beyond and behind the invasion front of #Varroa mites, vector of viruses, over 3 continents. This was possible as remote islands and valleys remained mite-free for years... Results ? (1/3)

The #PriorityProgramme "Genomic Basis of Evolutionary Innovations" SPP 2349 GEvol will start its second three year #funding in late 2025. The #DFG invites new proposals until 29 April 2025. More information: dfg.de/de/aktuelles/n…

Erich could present our DFG GEvol project on the #ice2024kyoto.

Thanks to Dino McMahon, Julius Rombach, @JHeckenhauer, @bornberglab our GEvol project was perfectly represented at the #ice2024kyoto.

First day of our Annual Gevol Meeting in Frankfurt. We started with a philosophical talk about function and innovation by Ulrich Krohs and closed the day by a talk about caddisflies by @JHeckenhauer. Meeting all the friends and collegues feels a bit like a class trip.

2nd day Gevol meeting started with a great talk by Kristen Panfilio, we had a student meeting during our lunch break and a cool tour through the collection. Last but not least: typical Frankfurt dinner with Apfelwein.

3rd day of our Gevol Meeting with great talks by our invited speaker @GenomeHecker and Eyal Privman. Our students gave really amazing talks about their projects as well. Thanks to the Senckenberg Research for welcoming our Gevol Family this year.

Even though it's been a few days, we would like to congratulate our Gevol PhD student Ronja winning the poster prize at the DZG conference. Congratulation 👏

We are now on bluesky, please keep follow us @gevol.bsky.social
