Ji, Kapli, Flouri & @zihengyang.bsky.social assess the impact of genotyping errors in phylogenomic data on Bayesian inference of species trees, suggesting that it is better to sequence a few samples at high depths over many samples at low depths. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf184 #evobio #molbio

In the first Plenary speech of #SMBE2025, Ziheng Yang (@zihengyang.bsky.social) taught us quite a few improbable things on gene flow. We wish you a delicious breakfast for tomorrow, while mulling over these lessons... 😉

Using simulations and empirical data, Thawornwattana, Flouri, @wtf-r-species.bsky.social & @zihengyang.bsky.social ‬ et al. evaluate the performance of the MSC-M model for inferring gene flow. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf121 #evobio #molbio #geneflow

The first Keynote speech of #SMBE2025 will be given by SMBE's President Ziheng Yang (@zihengyang.bsky.social). "Six impossible things to believe before breakfast, about gene flow" 20.07.2025 | 18h00

What a busy (but sunny) May in Crete!🔆 Ziheng & @sabifo4.bsky.social enjoyed teaching and meeting the participants at the Computational Molecular Evolution course! Ziheng then joined the satellite workshop on Biodiversity Genomics 🌍🧬 Thanks to everyone who made these fantastic meetings possible!!

Congratulations Dr Jiayi Ji!! 🥳Thanks to examiners @hernanaburbano.bsky.social and Simon Martin, now time to enjoy the long weekend! 🎉

And that's a wrap on the SystAssn-SRUK/CERU Bayesian Phylogenetics Workshop! Thank you to all the attendees, instructors (@anaserrasilva.bsky.social, @sabifo4.bsky.social, Tomas Flouri and Yuttapong Thawornwattana) and to our wonderful TA @lauramulvey.bsky.social!

The 2nd day of the SystAssn-SRUK/CERU Bayesian Phylogenetics Workshop was focused on the Multispecies Coalescent Theory and the usage of BPP, led by our lab members Tomas Flouri and Yuttapong Thawornwattana! 💻🧬

The SystAssn-SRUK/CERU Bayesian Phylogenetics Workshop started yesterday! During the 1st day, our lab members Tomas Flouri, @anaserrasilva.bsky.social, and @sabifo4.bsky.social had fun sharing their knowledge on Bayesian statistics, phylogeny inference & timetree inference with the participants💻🧬

Our Workshop on Genomics at Sun Yat-sen University Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong has come to an end! We are grateful to all organisers and very pleased to have meet such fantastic and hard-working participants! 下次见, 谢谢 🌹(1/2)

Our lab members @sabifo4.bsky.social, @anaserrasilva.bsky.social, Tomas Flouri, and Yuttapong Thawornwattana are teaching a two-day workshop on Bayesian Phylogenetics Workshop 💻🧬 Pre-register your interest to join this event before March 14th, do not miss the deadline! More details below 🔽

Thinking of starting a PhD on Bayesian phylogenetics next October 2025 in London? 🎓 You may want to check the TREES project led by the dos Reis Lab on integrating morphology and genomes for timetree inference! 🦴🧬💻Project supervisors: @mariodosreis.bsky.social & Ziheng Yang. More info in link 🔽

Wrapping up an incredible 5-day course on #Phylogenomics with a fascinating lecture on Molecular-Clock dating of species divergence by @mariodosreis.bsky.social, followed by a hands-on session with @sabifo4.bsky.social 🧬🕰️ Huge thanks to all participants for an inspiring [email protected]

Here’s the amazing Phylogenomics Group 2024 📸 Thank you to our incredible instructors for sharing their knowledge and making complex topics approachable and engaging! 🙌 And a big shoutout to all participants—Thanks for joining us this week🎉 @sabifo4.bsky.social @zihengyang.bsky.social

🚨 Exciting Day 3 Ahead! 🚨 Today, we’re honored to have one of the giants of Phylogenomics 🧬✨, @zihengyang.bsky.social, kicking off the day with two lectures on the Multispecies Coalescent Model. Day3 will continue with an hands-on session led by Paschalia Kapli and Tomas Flouri🚀

✨ Day 2 highlight! ✨ Tomas Flouri and @sabifo4.bsky.social delivered masterful lectures and an exceptional hands-on session on Bayesian inference in Phylogenomics. 🎓💡 Their expertise truly shone through! Excited for the insights Day 3 will bring—stay tuned! 🚀

The Physalia Phylogenomics course has started today! Tomas and Paschalia are leading today's session -- now, they are going through the practical session to apply all the concepts they have taught this morning! 💻

If you have ever wondered whether the PAML documentation could be more interactive... We have good news for you! The PAML GitHub repository has been updated and a fresh PAML Wiki is now available for you to navigate the PAML documentation! 📄💻 (1/n) github.com/abacus-gene/...
