1/8 Interested in the genomics of coloration and its adaptive evolution? @mel_rosina and I wrote a review in @NatureRevGenet

The genomics of coloration provides insights into adaptive evolution https://t.co/WoeirQ3TXV #Review by @AnnaOrteu and @mel_rosina @Cambridge_Uni

[Rachel Blow @RachelBlow_Biol]

Yesterday, I passed my PhD viva from @Cambridge_Uni ! I thoroughly enjoyed discussing my research on butterfly pheromone evolution with @AstridGroot2 and @emiliapsantos, and thank my supervisor @mel_rosina, the Jiggins lab, @CamZoology, and Sir David for helping me celebrate

@ProffField @simonhmartin Thank you!

[Anna Orteu @AnnaOrteu]

@simonhmartin and I have written a tool to visualise and identify candidate structural variants from linked read data.
With *one line* of code you can produce visualisations like this, in which you can see an inversion in the top-right corner:

And in our preprint!

two papers submitted in two weeks 🥳

@MichalBartak2 Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙂

[Anna Orteu @AnnaOrteu]

And decided to write a short tutorial on how to make maps like that in R:

I made a map of our sampling sites in Switzerland and I am quite happy with the result!

@Kathy_Darragh @IUBiology Felicidades, Kathy!! 🥳 Eres una crack!😊

@sashabliznina Ha! I'm graduating on the same day! Congrats 🥳

@arachno_joe And they are every good at hiding in the grass, pesky speedy spiders!

@Pedro_GRibeiro Thank you! 😊

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Excited to share our work on the origins of W chromosomes in Lepidoptera.

The Hypolimnas misippus genome supports a common origin of the W chromosome in Lepidoptera 1/6

https://t.co/jwvzfMg8UG

[Anna Orteu @AnnaOrteu]

Finally, we compare the W chr of H. misippus to 9 other Leps and show that it shows the highest similarity with other Ws than autosomes or Z, suggesting a common origin of all W in Leps 6/6

[Anna Orteu @AnnaOrteu]

Also, using 6 other Lep assemblies, we show that in those Z and W have low similarity, suggesting a possible B chromosome origin (or rapid divergence of the W) 5/6
