📢 NEW GENOME ALERT In #G3journal, @squarehare.bsky.social, @judithmank.bsky.social, and team generated a genome assembly of the Amazon guppy, Poecilia bifurca and showed how this species shares sex chromosomes with related species, albeit with substantial Y chromosome degeneration. buff.ly/lM7etkw

Just in time for her #eseb2025 poster on Thursday, @squarehare.bsky.social 's paper on the Poecilia bifurca sex chromosomes was published today academic.oup.com/g3journal/ad...

I’m really sorry to be missing #eseb2025, but for those sorting out their conference plan there are several lab talks and posters about what we are up to. Spoiler, they aren't all talking about guppies, or even fish! 1/n

Just out - Genome of the Amazon Guppy (Poecilia bifurca) reveals conservation of sex chromosomes and dosage compensation. By @squarehare.bsky.social, with @idarolti.bsky.social and others not yet on Bsky. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is fine...

#HiSciSky My name is Lydia and I study sex chromosome evolution in guppies! Very excited to make my transition here! #academicsky #biology #evolution
