At the workshop on #Phylogenomics and #EvolutionaryGenomics, Boussau Bastien @bastien-boussau.bsky.social will present a lecture and lab on #genome-wide measures of selection. Register to secure your seat today. and learn how to calculate selection in your data! evomics.org/apply-worksh...

Very excited to share our progress in deep neural networks that reconstruct phylogenetic trees! Outstanding work by @lblassel.bsky.social

Here, the potential of horizontal gene transfer detection methods were explored, based on phylogenies, to detect & quantify ghost diversity. What did they find? Read the full paper to find out (2/2)👇🧪🌍 doi.org/10.1093/evol... @bastien-boussau.bsky.social @damdevienne.bsky.social

We are excited to share GPN-Star, a cost-effective, biologically grounded genomic language modeling framework that achieves state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of variant effect prediction tasks relevant to human genetics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/n)

The call for abstract for LEGEND is now open: legend2025.sciencesconf.org It will close on September 22nd (oral presentations) and October 1st (posters). Send us your best work on Machine Learning for Evolutionary Genomics and come discuss it with us in the French Alps next December!

Registration is now open! The 580€ include housing and all meals. We will close on October 17th or when reaching 80 participants.

Very happy to see this finally published! Lots of exciting work to do to follow up on this.

The next LEGEND conference on machine learning for evolutionary genomics will be in Aussois (French Alps) between December 8th and 12th. Mark your calendars and make sure your best work is ready next September when the call for abstracts opens 🙂 legend2025.sciencesconf.org
