Registration is open for the inaugural GRC conference in the Function of Evolving Systems. Aug 9-14, 2026, Waterville Valley. Truly stellar speaker lineup. Student/postdoc fellowships are available! Please come join us! www.grc.org/function-of-... @joybergelson.bsky.social

New lab preprint - Common and rare variant studies for the same trait identify different genes and here Diederik Laman Trip developed a protein network AI enconding to investigate if traits studied by different approaches converge on the same molecular pathways www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to announce our latest publication in reporting evidence for three (3!) new whole genome duplications (WGDs) in yeasts. Scientists have often wondered why WGD is so rare in fungi, it turns out we may just not have been looking hard enough! 🧪 🍄 🧬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Expressions of interest: Director at MPI EvolBio (f/m/d) — We invite expressions of interest from distinguished scientists in evolutionary biology with a bold, long-term research vision that complements our Institute. More information: www.evolbio.mpg.de/3856225/Dire...

✨ Latest exciting story of the group in @nature.com. Here, we go beyond SNPs and built a species-wide atlas of genetic variants in yeast. With >1,000 near T2T genomes, we show how large genomic variations affect trait diversity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Out after peer review, collaborative study from Nordborg & Weigel labs with help from many others. Not the largest collection of new Arabidopsis thaliana genomes, but we hopefully put forward some good ideas for how to think about pangenomes and their analysis! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Yeast2025 meeting in Paris is over, and was so much fun. It was exciting to see a room full of yeast biologists, with more than 500 people. It was also great to be part of the dream team of organizers, led by @gillesfischer.bsky.social

Nice to have a recap of our past ‪@erc.europa.eu‬ PhenomeNal project. Well, let's move on to the next one - UnMiss. cordis.europa.eu/article/id/4...

Great work from Horia Todor in Carol Gross's lab showing it's possible to predict complexes in "competition" pools in AF3 resulting in the first all-by-all prediction for a species. After length correcting the ipTM score predicts well known interactions and correlating ipTM vectors also has value.

Wow 1000+ Brettanomyces genomes, not just from Belgium and not just from lambic! Awesome, can't wait to check the details on these #yeast s. With recent advancements from two different groups on Lachancea, more and more domesticated yeast have their population structures uncovered, not just Saccharo

The latest story from the @haploteam highlights the phenotypic impact of acquired subgenomes in allopolyploids, through the lens of 1,060 Brettanomyces bruxellensis genomes. Nice collaboration with @univbordeaux.bsky.social @unistra.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Beyond happy to be an ERC AdG laureate! This milestone would not have been possible without the incredible work done in the past and the dedication of all current and former members of the haploteam - www.haploteam.org @unistra.fr‬ @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social‬ #IUF bsky.app/profile/erc....

Our work on deriving protein-protein (functional) associations across different human tissues from proteomics data is now published. There is quite a lot in this paper, so I will just touch on a few highlights: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
