🦥🧬 What can sloth genomes teach us about evolution? New chromosome-level genomes from sloths and anteaters are helping researchers study xenarthrans — one of the most distinctive branches of the mammalian tree. 📖 Read the press release: tinyurl.com/3n62vy4v @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Happy to finally share with you this amazing manuscript, where we present the first chromosome-level genome assemblies for three hybridising Cobitis species 🐟🧬🔬 academic.oup.com/gigascience/... #gigascience #sexchromosomes #loaches #hybridisation #evolution #asexuality #rapidturnover

🧬 Although lynxes share a common evolutionary origin, each species presents its own genomic signals linked to its demographic history, ecology, and adaptive responses to environmental challenges. 👉 New study published in Genome Biology and Evolution. www.ebd.csic.es/en/outreach/...

The ERGA BioGenome Seminar Series is back! We return with Jérôme Goudet and Isabela do O for a seminar on the impact of population structure in identifying local adaptation. How do we know when population differences reflect adaptation, and when they are shaped by demography and structure?

So happy to see two friends in May 2026 GBE's cover ❤️ Congrats @lorenalf.bsky.social and Jorge!!

Lots of exciting news these weeks. Very happy to see this work out and grateful to have been part of the team. Congrats, Enrico!!

What is gene tree discordance? 🌳♻️🌲 🟣 Researchers usually do think there’s a species tree that reflects the history of splitting among lineages, but not all genes have to have this same tree topology. ⏩ www.cell.com/current-biol...

Impartiendo el curso de Introducción práctica a la genómica de poblaciones para profesionales del CSIC en la EBD. En esta práctica, Enrico nos enseña a alinear muestras de WGS a un genoma de referencia. #CSIC #EBD #genomics @ebdonana.bsky.social

✨ En este vídeo, Marta Martínez nos explica en qué consiste su tesis doctoral, centrada en el chotacabras cuellirrojo. Para desarrollar su investigación, Marta, junto al resto del equipo, realiza censos nocturnos en el Espacio Natural de Doñana.

🐈🧬I recently presented the preliminary results of my first PhD chapter at Biología Investiga 2025, the scientific #outreach days organized by the @unisevilla.bsky.social A great space for scientific exchange within the Faculty of Biology. #PhDlife #WomenInSTEM #Genomics @ebdonana.bsky.social

1/9 New in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado8005 How does genetic architecture constrain evolutionary trajectories? To address this question, we inferred the genetic architecture of convergent plumage coloration and its evolutionary history in wheatears.

Este fin de semana Sevilla acoge las jornadas de Alianzas Rebeldes, un espacio de reflexión por un mundo más igualitario. Todavía emocionada por todo lo vivido en el día de hoy 💜

Why sequence all vertebrate genomes? 🧬 💡 Vertebrate genomes can help answer complex questions — for example: how did speech evolve, and which genes govern longevity and cancer resistance in long-lived species like the Blue Whale? @vertebrategenomes.bsky.social | @ergabiodiv.bsky.social |

@ebdonana.bsky.social #PhD students at #ESEB2025🧬 We shared research on bird seed dispersal, mosquito pop genomics, and Iberian lynx phylogenomics & conservation genetics. Thank you for a wonderful congress filled with new connections and inspiring discussions. @eseb2025.bsky.social

➡️ Nice experience sharing some results about the alien plant Cotula coronopifolia in Europe at #ESEB2025 🌱🧬 ➡️ We found an unusual genetic structure shaped by selfing, introduction history and waterbirds 🦆 ➡️ Great discussions and valuable feedback to shape our next steps ✅ #PopulationGenomics
