How does a cavefish (🐟) with a duplicated genome (🧬🧬) adapt to life in darkness? Our new study in @molecology reveals a key mechanism: its two subgenomes follow distinct evolutionary paths. This genetic division of labors accelerates diversification. https://t.co/zQWbgbpOk6

New study by @Biomendi, @Baocheng_Guo, et al. reveals how a #cavefish 🐟 with a duplicated genome 🧬 adapts to life in darkness. Results show that each subgenome follows a distinct evolutionary path.

📚 Estudi publicat a Molecular Ecology per l'equip CONSEVOL (📷@ebdonana), Uppsala Unversity, Acadèmia Xina de Ciències i IRBioUB ha descobert com reorganitzacions cromosòmiques antigues estan donant forma a l'evolució d'aquesta au, especialment en poblacions illenques.@Biomendi
@molecology Using a de novo genome, we reveal ancient inversions forming adaptive "islands" 🏝️ that accelerate evolution in common quails. Protecting these genomic "engines" may safeguard the species’ adaptive potential amid climate change. Full story on my website 👇 https://t.co/lfrG3IsQER
📢 Our paper "Large Inversions Shape Diversification and Genome Evolution in Common Quails" is now out in Molecular Ecology! @molecology 🐦🧬 https://t.co/6zNRhcqPyI
How does a plankton-eating fish evolve into a fast-growing, fish-eating predator? 🐟🤔 We are excited to share our new study in Nature Communications @NatureComms and answer this question! 1/n
I've been living in Beijing 🇨🇳 for over a year now. My top tip for non-Mandarin speakers coming to China is to grab a VPN! 🛜 Tested a few, but WannaFlix has been the most reliable so far 👏 Feel free to use my affiliate link: https://t.co/71sGEej35G #ChinaLife
Happy to share my incredible postdoc experience at IOZ-CAS! 🐠🔬🇨🇳 Grateful for the opportunity to be a researcher in China, where I've been embraced by the warmth of its people and vibrant culture. A truly unforgettable journey! Here is my story: https://t.co/z1hOnFPBTC
Great talk by @tmarquesbonet today at Institute of Zoology (IOZ-CAS), Beijing 🇨🇳 ~ His research on the genomic variation of primates is truly impressive!
Excited to see the #SMBE2025 website up! As a postdoc at IOZ living in Beijing, I’d more than happy to help fellow researchers with any questions or tips about China 🇨🇳 Let’s connect and share ideas!
We are delighted to announce the launch of the official #SMBE2025 website: https://t.co/91fBe95z7S
Key dates can be found on the website.
We would like to remind you that the portal for submitting symposia proposals will be open on September 20th, 2024.
