Had such a good time at @official-smbe.bsky.social talking about museum samples and comparative genomics. Many thanks to everyone who reached out to me and my supervisor for all her support @astridboehne.bsky.social. Special thanks to the Alexander-Koenig-Gesellschaft for funding my trip. #SMBE2026

An efficient, accessible solution for #genome annotation in both research and applied settings www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We find that gene expression is rapidly feminized after a XY to ZW heterogamety change in #cichlids; congrats @kevinhsi.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1111/mec....

#LIBresearch: New work on cichlid fishes shows how different sex-chromosome systems drive males & females to evolve distinct gene-activity patterns - shaping how their traits diverge. → doi.org/10.1111/mec.... @astridboehne.bsky.social ©Adobe Stock, David #Genomics #SexChromosomes

How did animals repeatedly conquer land? 🌊➡️⛰️ We analysed ~1,000 gene repertoires (24M genes!) from all animal phyla to uncover how this happened. Work led by @gemmaeling.bsky.social & Klara Eleftheriadi, both first coauthors of this titanic effort! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Join us! Still places left :-) we look forward to meet you with @idarolti.bsky.social and talk about #sexchromosomes

#LIBresearch: Study by @yanischrysost.bsky.social & colleagues delivers the 1st reference genome of the endangered Ural Owl. It sheds light on genome evolution & highlights the value of cell cultures in #ConservationGenomics. 🦉🦉🦉 → doi.org/10.1093/giga... ©AdobeStock, Thorsten Spoerlein #UralOwl

Congrats @yanischrysost.bsky.social ! Our piece in @gigascience.bsky.social is out. We provide a reference genome for the endangered Ural 🦉 , investigate genome evolution and the utility of cell cultures for genomics with @leibnizlib.bsky.social @maxplanck.de

#BGE news from Greece! 🧬 Today, our BGE colleagues Alexandros Triantafyllidis and @rmwaterhouse.bsky.social gave presentations on #Biodiversity #Genomics during the @lifewatcheric.bsky.social Biodiversity & Ecosystem eScience Conference 2025. 🔗 www.lifewatch.eu/bees-2025/ horizoneu.bsky.social

🐟 “BOOK A SCIENTIST”: We'll be there - at the @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de online speed dating event on 3 June. How could the fish minnow evolve in so many species? (possible in 🇩🇪 or 🇬🇧). Talk to our researcher @mstange.bsky.social. All topics & registration 👉 www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/ueber-uns/ne...

#LIBresearch in @science.org: Our tracks on earth are not as new as we think. A new study with LIB involvement shows that we humans contaminated the earth with lead aprox. 5200 years ago. This gives the researchers an insight into socio-economic change in the Aegean region. 👉 t1p.de/v3fej

#paperalert My group is currently working on Eurasian minnows #Phoxinus. To make comparative genomics & popgen in this highly cryptic genus easier, we published an annotated chromosome-level reference genome. Thanks to @thetemi.bsky.social, Yanis, @astridboehne.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/giga...
