'Protein evolvability under rewired genetic codes'

This is kind of science is so so cool: some genetic codes 'produce smooth adaptive landscapes with few peaks & consequently allow evolving populations to reach on average higher fitness'

We are hiring! For a project on mutational robustness and evolvability in bacteria we are looking for a new PhD or postdoc colleague. More info here michielslab.sites.vib.be/en/join-us#/jo…

Look what arrived in the mail today!

I learned a lot being part of the workshop on evolvability in Oslo.

The essays in the book cover different topics, including quantitative and population genetics, paleobiology, macroevolution, evolutionary developmental biology and more.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

New paper from the lab published in eLife - the journal!
Work by PhD student (and future star) Claudia Londoño-Nieto

Thread:

Sexual selection drives phenotype evolution and can boost population viability and evolvability, but can also depress population growth via sexual conflict...

1/5

Are we driving selection for evolvability? What does that even mean? And could this impact ecological networks globally?

I still get ⚡️jazzed⚡️ thinking about it! 🤔

Such an absolute pleasure to have Prof. Rainey RaineyLab talk about “Evolution of evolvability” at IIT Bombay today! (1/3)

We are thrilled to present our latest review in Trends in Biochemical Sciences on the 'Molecular determinants of protein evolvability', written with the amazing Karol Buda (@_karolbuda) and Xingyu Fan (@fan07_xingyu) from the Tokuriki lab !

Interested in evolvability, trait integration, mutations, venoms, or all of the above? A three-year postdoc on the molecular basis for evolvability of venom is now available in our group: jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

A new paper on the evolution of the modern human foot shows that the hallux may have been subjected to functional selection pressures for bipedal requirements, resulting in strong integration and low evolvability.
