bioRxiv bat signal. We had a huge influx of submissions around Labor Day and now have a backlog. If any affiliates are available to screen, we'd be eternally grateful!

Lots of inspiring talks & posters at our GEvol symposium at #ESEB2025 yesterday! Thanks to everyone who presented, especially our invited speakers @ahuylmans.bsky.social & @rmwaterhouse.bsky.social. From GEvol, Marie Lebherz, Elisa Israel and Barbara Feldmeyer gave talks about their work. (1/2)

Erich and Marie travelled to Barcelona for #ESEB2025. Erich gave two talks: one exploring de novo and random proteins, and another discussing gene family losses in slave-maker ants. Marie presented her work on neORF emergence in Drosophila at Symposium 29, organised by @gevol.bsky.social. 🧬🪰🐜

This new paper documents a tenfold increase in research papers using community-collected iNaturalist data over just five years: tr.ee/89Ot3I According to the study, here are four key ways that iNaturalist data directly powers science 🧵⤵️

Our new paper in BioScience shows how iNaturalist data is powering research across the globe, with use growing 10x in 5 years and spanning 128 countries & 638 families of life. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bios... @ifas.ufl.edu @inaturalist.bsky.social #Biodiversity #iNaturalist #OpenScience

We are excited to announce the SMBE Fellows Program! ✍️ Designed to provide networking and mentorship opportunities to early-career researchers through scientific writing in evolutionary biology for @molbioevol.bsky.social and @genomebiolevol.bsky.social 📆 Aug. 31 🔗 smbe.org/smbe-fellows-program

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

🚨 Another major round of #NSF terminations today 😞. Please report and encourage your colleagues to as well! We need this info to shed light on the damage caused, and to organize and advocate for science that includes and benefits all. airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... 🧪

New Paper Alert! Together with the Parsch lab, we investigated the expression of neORFs (newly evolved expressed open reading frames, identified in a previous study) in Drosophila populations using publicly available RNA-seq data. (1/2) doi.org/10.1002/jez....

Bonjour chère @education-gouv.bsky.social, Ma mère institutrice au sein de l'académie d'Amiens, a demandé une journée pour être présente à ma soutenance. Son absence lui est maintenant reprochée par le rectorat, selon lequel une soutenance de thèse n'est pas un "motif valable". Vous confirmez ?

So this is it! Guess I can now call myself Doctor 😎

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 A robustly rooted tree of eukaryotes sheds light on their deep evolutionary ancestry—suggesting that the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) may have had an excavate-like cell architecture. 🧵🔬 (1/) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Good reporting out about Pittsburgh and the potential effects of indirect cost cuts. www.publicsource.org/research-fun... 1/2

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

#Microproteins may be the next frontier in #proteomics. But figuring out the publications can be tough. If you are looking for some advice about microprotein evidence, check out the latest from our consortium. Lead by @carvunis.bsky.social and Aaron Wacholder! 🧬 💻 #genomics #RNASky bit.ly/4bgJSDm

Looking to see how #RiboSeq can improve your cancer research? Check out how we've been developing new methods to study #medulloblastoma and other forms of #childhoodcancer. Out in @naturecomms.bsky.social now. Thanks to Jim Clauwaert and Gerben Menschaert as well! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

“The leaders of the Human Genome Project always knew they were just starting a conversation” The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do https://go.nature.com/3CupmSS

Alert to the #darkproteome community 👇 Here's a great article to get you fast-tracked into the world of #microproteins. Such a pleasure to work on this piece with @nature.com, @sebastiaanvheesch.bsky.social, Marie Brunet, Jonathan Weissman and Jon Mudge. #genomics #bioinformatics 🧬 💻 #proteomics

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

1/7 Very happy to share our latest paper on the joint evolution of separate sexes and sexual dimorphism in @jevbio.bsky.social, led by @thomaslesaffre.bsky.social and in collaboration with John Pannell at @dee-unil.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/voae136

it's a Merry #Microprotein Christmas! We're uncovering more new uncharacterized MPs in our models to study. Folks often ask where they are in cells, and the answer is that they're as diverse as the larger proteins we're all familiar with. Any guesses where some of our new friends are localized?🔬

My Tidyverse local synteny visualizer is up on GitHub: github.com/cxli233/Tidy... GitHub page contains 2 example datasets, as well as step-by-step instruction & explanations on how it works. Details on required input data are discussed in the GitHub page. Let me know if you run into issues.

I went to this summer school some 10 years ago and it was extremely inspiring. Highly recommended, especially for post-docs or young PIs who want a fresh thinking on evolutionary biology!

Lots of new activity here! Time to (re)introduce the 2025 Gordon Conference on #Microproteins It's a 5 day definitive even for all things #riboseq, #ribosome, #microproteins. Register now before it fills up!! 🧪 💻 🧬 🔎 microproteins #RNAsky #RNAbiology #GeneSky www.grc.org/decoding-mic...

I am. Dry happy to present you, our recent paper in collaboration with Anne Lopes from #I2BC about the translational landscape of #microproteins in yeast. A great work showing how much the genome is pervasive. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

It's not often that I wake up and read a paper about corn. Unless it is a #Microproteins paper!!! right up your alley, @cpatiou.bsky.social @microproteins.bsky.social 💻🧬 🧪 🔎 microproteins #GENEsky #RNAsky www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Hey guys- I made a microproteins & small ORFs starter pack for anyone who might be interested!! Please message if you want to be added. We also have a Microproteins feed for you to check out! 🧪 💻 + 🧬 🔎 microproteins go.bsky.app/A1KUJRz
