📢Glad to share our genome paper on an early-diverged cephalochordate species, Asymmetron lucayanum! By decoding & analyzing this genome in a comparative genomics framework, we know better now regarding the genome and gene evolution in cephalochordates. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
“We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and research-driven Reader in Evolutionary Genomics to join our Department of Biology, within the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences” @QMUL qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-1/ap…
We're recruiting a postdoc to study animal–algal symbiosis in green hydra at Academia Sinica, Taipei. If you're interested in symbiosis, genome biology, and sequencing technologies, get in touch! More at: sgel.biodiv.tw
How bats developed their wings? 🦇 Turns out they reutilize existing gene programs 🔧 Find out more in our paper @NatureEcoEvo in collaboration with @RealFany and @StefanMundlos labs nature.com/articles/s4155…
It has been a while… but an updated, faster & more accurate version of OrthoFinder is now out! Scales to thousands of species on conventional compute resources with higher accuracy than ever before and the same data rich fully phylogenetic outputs 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
👏Thrilled to see Miguel Torres @CNIC_CARDIO honoured with the Genetics National Award! Outstanding contributions to developmental biology and gene regulation. An inspiring figure to many of us. Congrats Miguel! 🎉 🎉

🚨We are looking for post-doctoral candidates to apply for a MSCA fellowship. Projects on gene regulation in neural development or neurdegenerative diseases using single-cell omics. Computational & wet-lab candidates are welcomed! #postdoc #MSCA #Barcelona #singlecell.
I am looking for a new postdoc to join the lab. Interested in pluripotency, germ cells, and in investigating these in a genetically tractable cnidarian? Get in touch! We offer a long-term contract, excellent research environment, and a lovely city #Galway. urifranklab.org
This year I'll be teaching early vertebrate evolution and basic phylogenetics analysis at the II International Summer School on Systems Biology, organized by @DiValeriaDato @SznDohrn Check what's all about, and share the info with your students! isssb2022.wixsite.com/isssystemsbiol…
Great to see this published in @GigaScience ! Using @oxfordnanopore , we generated genome and methylome resources simultaneously to drive molecular insights for conservation of loggerhead sea turtles in Cape Verde 🐢🧬🇨🇻 doi.org/10.1093/gigasc…
I recently started my new project @genikhovich investigating Chordin function in the sea anemone Nematostella. I thank @FWF_at for funding my work via the ESPRIT program! @stem_univie
