The cichlid fishes of Lake Tanganyika are highly diverse. So are their viruses. Read our latest work in @CurrentBiology https://t.co/LN9K8GIz8N

See our latest work on the evolution of the taste and smell receptor genes across vertebrates in @NatureComms. Congrats to all involved, in particular to @MaximePolicarpo.

[Walter Salzburger Lab @WSalzburger]

We "cleaned up" one of the taxonomic misplacements in the cichlid fish from Lake Tanganyika with Gnathochromis remaining for G. permaxillaris and a new genus Jabarichromis for J. pfefferi. Great work by Anja, @FredericSchedel, Fabrizia, @adrian_the_fish:
