It has been curated to support the 2026 Euro-Evo-Devo conference in Glasgow, UK. #EED2026
EuroEvoDevo #EED2026 in Glasgow starts next week! I am organizing Symposium S08: Craniofacial Evo-Devo on 10 June from 9:00. Hope to see you there!

Super cool story. Glad to be a part of it ☺️
Being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society is a tremendous honour. My deepest thanks go to the hundreds of students and postdocs who have passed through my lab over the last 30+ years. They have been the soul of the lab, and this recognition belongs as much to them as it does to me.
Safe travels to those making their way to Glasgow for #EED2026 😊 While you are stuck in transit, you can check out this special collection of #EvoDevo papers compiled by @dev-journal.bsky.social ⬇️
🚨 Excited to share a new manuscript from the lab. Here, we have developed a new method, HiCPotts, to identify significant interactions in 3D chromatin data www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...; package bioconductor.org/packages/HiC.... Big shoutout to an amazing previous PhD in the lab Godwin. 1/n

Ctenophores Rock!
🚨 We discovered a new mode of Hox gene regulation in annelids! 🪱 A distal enhancer acts as a "global control region", lifting Hox genes from Polycomb repression. This is reminiscent of Hox gene control in vertebrates, but the two modes likely evolved convergently.
