We are thrilled that our paper on homeobox gene evolution in Lepidoptera has been chosen for the cover of the latest issue of @genomeresearch! @PeterMulhair, @Liam_M_Crowley, @diarsia, Amber Harper, @OwenTLewis, @darwintreelife and Peter Holland.

[Genome Research @genomeresearch]

The new issue of @genomeresearch is now live. Follow the link to new research on the evolution of homeobox genes in Lepidoptera, gonadal aging in the African turquoise killifish, and more! https://t.co/Gtuut9BJpR

Great to see this important genome published. Micropterix are an important basal group of moths, meaning this genome will be very valuable in comparisons across the Lepidopteran lineage.

Autumn is a pretty good time for beautiful moths!

[Oxford Biology @OxfordBiology]

Exciting to see #PublicEngagement @WythamWoods @GenomeWytham for the @darwintreelife project!

Check out BugBlitz - an exciting day for primary school students to engage in biodiversity in Wytham Woods and get their hands on some biology!

[Wytham Genome Project @GenomeWytham]

This autumn the team has been hosting school groups at @WythamWoods for the @darwintreelife BugBlitz project. Hopefully we have inspired a future generation of entomologists! Find out more here: https://t.co/8b4ZmgVXO0
