SMBE2026 Symposium 22 | Evolution of gene regulation: insights from novel molecular and statistical approaches 📨 Abstract submission smbe2026.org/abstracts 📋 Programme details smbe2026.org/programme #SMBE2026

We've just released our new preprint! 🐀✨ doi.org/10.1101/2025... How do gene expression and regulation evolve during adaptation? And how can we tell adaptive shifts apart from simple drift? @camilleberthelot.bsky.social 👇 A short thread on what we found in African mole-rats.

Coordinated shifts in gene expression and regulation during mole-rat evolution https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.24.690111v1

We are hiring a ✨ bioinformatics PhD student ✨ for fall 2026 as part of the @evomg-dn.bsky.social MSCA doctoral network! Our project in a nutshell: can the evolution of gene expression in the uterus point us towards which genes are important for human uterine diseases? To apply 👉 www.evomg-dn.eu
