🐍 New in Genome Biology! We show #CLCN2 is key to #colorpatterns in corn #snakes. LTR-retrotransposon mutation drives Stripe phenotype. Genomic & transcriptomic analyses reveal insights into trait #diversification! Full study: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Biologie - UNIGE


Thrilled to share that our light-sheet #microscopy image has been selected as PLOS Biology's Featured Image for March 2025! This visualization captures the role of the sonic #hedgehog pathway in #feather morphogenesis. 🧬 Dive into the details: lanevol.org/news/article/p…




Huangyi He from Zhejiang University is on today! Huangyi's research focuses on the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms behind sperm heteromorphism and sex chromosome evolution in Drosophila. 🪰 Follow Huangyi on social media X: Huangyi He

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in NatureEcoEvo Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?


If you enjoyed our recent paper on massive genomic rearrangements in clitellates, don't miss our recent review on the topic, where we discuss some hypothesis and implications of our findings 👇🪱🧬💥👇 Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) ahmeth goumballa
