Thanks to Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) we will generate a reference genome assembly of the spider Dysdera curvisetae and use it to explore the potential impact of anthropogenic change on coastal species. Sampling Julio Rozas, #Sara_Guirao-Rico, Vadim Pisarenco, Silvia García-Juan and Marta 🌿

Happy to share that our new software GALEON to analyze and visualize gene clusters is now published in Bioinformatics :) doi.org/10.1093/bioinf…

I am very happy to show my last chapter of PhD published in Molecular Ecology about Dysdera silvatica, an endemic spider from the Canary Islands. Another step to understand the genomics underlying adaptive radiations in island ecosystems 🕷️🧬 Paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

#MeetOurModelOrganisms | 🕷Les aranyes, amb la seva diversitat i adaptacions úniques, són un model excel·lent per explorar com la genètica afecta l'evolució. A GeneticsUB, el grup de recerca de Julio Rozas investiga la Dysdera silvatica, aranya endèmica de les Illes Canàries.

🕷️ Un projecte liderat per la Universitat de Barcelona i la Universidad de La Laguna seqüenciarà el genoma complet de l’aranya #Dysderacurvisetae, una espècie endèmica de l’arxipèlag canari, amb l'objectiu de millorar la gestió i la conservació de la #biodiversitat. 👉 web.ub.edu/web/actualitat…

What are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on bioRxiv where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.

Many thanks to all our wonderful coauthors: Cristian Cuevas-Caballé, Francesco Giannelli, Josie Paris, Karen Bourgeois, EmilianoTrucchi, Jacob González-Solís, Marta Riutort, Joan Ferrer Obiol & Julio Rozas!

🔈We have a new lecturer @geneticsub Facultat de Biologia UB . Congratulations to Sara Guirao Molecular Evolutionary Genetics (UB) ! Sara is interested in comparative and population genomics and the development of new bioinformatic tools to study evolution 1/2

We are happy to announce that we were granted one of the IUCN Red List Grants to IUCN SSC Atlantic Islands Invertebrate Specialist Group, to evaluate 36 endemic spiders from the Canary Islands. One of the selected sp. is Dysdera curviseta European Research Executive Agency,Molecular Evolutionary Genetics (UB),Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)
