Feliç diada!! Happy Catalonian day!! Today, we celebrate the national day of Catalonia, …and one of the typical things we eat today is the “Bread of Saint Jordi” (top), that clearly resembles “something” known by all biologists 😅 💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛🔬🧬🪰

Congrats Esteve 👏🏻👏🏻 for your excellent defense of your TFG studying how marine noise contamination affects #Oikopleura, #deuteronoise project cosupervised by @evadevo.bsky.social @esteeve.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @ub.edu

@criscanestro.bsky.social gives a lovely, thoughtful talk on this theme, on a tunicate species with very a scrambled genome; then reflects on what the patterns of scrambling can tell us about the underlying regulatory architecture. #eseb2025

Thanks @jmolev.bsky.social !! For more on our science, please follow us here at @evodevogenomeub.bsky.social

✒️ Don't miss @carlzimmer.com’s article in @nytimes.com, on the impact of gene loss in pygmy seahorses, featuring insights from Cristian Cañestro @evodevogenomeub.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/s...

Beautiful piece by @carlzimmer.com about the impact of #GeneLoss on pygmy sea horses. Thrilled to see Cañestro’s comments mentioned in @nytimes.com. This does not happen everyday! Thanks, Carl☺️ @criscanestro.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social @ub.edu

Great contributions of our lab in #ESEB2025 with our research on genome architecture and gene regulation from an #oikopleura perspective. Great organization @eseb2025.bsky.social @tonigabaldon.bsky.social @ntorresag.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social

Today in #FestaCiènciaUB we are sharing the progress of our @deuteronoise project JPI studying how marine noise pollution affects embryo development of marine invertebrates. Great work @evadevo.bsky.social in collaboration lasalle’s group of Dra. RosaM Alsina & Ignasi Nou @ubdivulga.bsky.social

Avui i demà el nostre grup @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social participa a #FestaCiènciaUB compartint amb els infants el que fem al laboratori i promovent les seves ganes d’investigar i descobrir els enigmes que la natura ens ofereix. Gràcies @ubdivulga.bsky.social per organitzar-ho!

Despertem a la #FestaCiènciaUB la consciència sobre la contaminació marina que pateixen els nostres mars i oceans 🌊 a través de l'observació de criatures marines 🔎 web.ub.edu/ca/web/laubd... @evodevogenomeub.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social

#Genètica | Llegim a @es.theconversation.com  aquest article del @criscanestro.bsky.social  i el @gasparsanchez.bsky.social  ➡️ Menos, pero más: entendiendo la pérdida de genes en la evolución. 🔗 https://theconversation.com/menos-pero-mas-entendiendo-la-perdida-de-genes-en-la-evolucion-249961

Moltes gràcies @biolegscat.bsky.social per fer-vo-en eco de la notícia sobre la recerca del nostre grup. Ancorat adalt al nostre fil trobareu un bluetutorial🦋 per qui vulgui llegir una mica més sobre la rellevància de la “pèrdua gènica” i la hipòtesis “menys, però més” 🧬🔬🌊

Publication of our outreach article on our work on #GeneLoss "Less, but more" studying #Fgf #evolution in #Oikopleura @gasparsanchez.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @es.theconversation.com Thanks Laura for your great editorial work @lauragderivera.bsky.social theconversation.com/menos-pero-m...

Proud of the two amazing women of our lab, @ntorresag.bsky.social @evadevo.bsky.social, who in the Int. Day of Women and Girls in Science went to two schools to talk about their projects and become models for girls and boys to follow 👩‍🔬 #11FdoneSTEMub @ubdivulga.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social

Great talk by Nuria @ntorresag.bsky.social on her postdoctoral research in our lab studying how marine biotoxins affects gene expression & chromatin remodelling in Oikopleura embryos, in colaboration with @mariarossello.bsky.social at @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @scb.iec.cat

Today, do not miss the posters of our lab at @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social working in (Eco)EvoDevo using Oikopleura as a model. #Noisosome @evadevo.bsky.social #GenomeScrambling @baielx.bsky.social #CRISPR @tinosaurio.bsky.social

Less, but more: new insights from appendicularians on chordate Fgf evolution and the divergence of tunicate lifestyles https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39686543/

Congrats 🥳🥳 @ntorresag.bsky.social and @mariarossello.bsky.social for being granted with this exciting projects as PIs studying gene regulatory landscape in scramble genomes at #SGREvoDevoCat #EvoDevo and #Genomics rock 🧬🎸🤘🏻😎 @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social

"LESS, but MORE" refers to the evolutionary framework characterized by massive gene losses accompanied by bursts of duplications that we describe in a MS just published in MBE about FGF evolution in appendicularian tunicates👉 bit.ly/3VGWSfd @official-smbe.bsky.social Here, our first #BLUETORIAL 🦋😁👇

Great work progress presentation by @ntorresag.bsky.social on her project on DGE and the impact of biotoxins derived from diatom blooms on embryo development of marine organisms in the context of Oceans Health.
