Margres et al. investigated snake venom expression divergence in island-mainland rattlesnakes, showing that rapid adaptation in the island population occurred through the co-option and truncation of the ontogenetic venom shift. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag131 📷 Michael P. Hogan #genome #evolution

Cornet, Sudianto & Baurain used comparative genomics to show that Gloeobacteraceae's central carbon metabolism exhibits a mosaic architecture shaped by the integration of genes originated from horizontal gene transfer 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... #genome #evolution

I am fully in line with the authors. The raw all-sites gVCF is the best material to share and should become the gold standard in genomics to move towards standardized and unbiased π estimates. In addition, more metadata regarding the samples and softwares used is needed, including the versions.

Muthu et al. build a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the four known trehalose breakdown pathways, suggests the presence of trehalase in the last eukaryotic common ancestor, and reveals near-universal presence of trehalase in eukaryotes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag125 #genome #evolution

@opazolab.bsky.social et al. study the evolutionary history of HCAR2 and HCAR3 receptor families in primates reveals multiple independent duplication events and suggests that HCAR3 receptors may have evolved repeatedly in apes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... #genome #evolution

Brault et al. propose guidelines for standardized π estimation, systematic reporting of summary statistics, and the adoption of richer metadata to ensure that population genomic data remain comparable and reusable across a wide range of systems. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... #genome #evolution

1/ How did the human skeleton evolve to support bipedalism and tool use? 🦴 A new study from my lab in Genome Biology and Evolution dives into the genomic changes that separate us from chimpanzees during skeletal development. academic.oup.com/gbe/article/.... Here's a quick overview of what we found:

Abstract. Every element of the human skeleton exhibits some differences in comparison to our closest living relatives, chimpanzees. Many of these skeletal
