🧬 Although lynxes share a common evolutionary origin, each species presents its own genomic signals linked to its demographic history, ecology, and adaptive responses to environmental challenges.

So happy to see two friends in May 2026 GBE's cover ❤️
Congrats @lorenalf.bsky.social and Jorge!!
Was fun to be a part of this study with Enrico Bazzicalupo, José Godoy, and colleagues. Lynx introgression. Check it out!
Happy to finally share with you this amazing manuscript, where we present the first chromosome-level genome assemblies for three hybridising Cobitis species 🐟🧬🔬 academic.oup.com/gigascience/...

The ERGA BioGenome Seminar Series is back!
We return with Jérôme Goudet and Isabela do O for a seminar on the impact of population structure in identifying local adaptation.
How do we know when population differences reflect adaptation, and when they are shaped by demography and structure?
🦥🧬 What can sloth genomes teach us about evolution?
New chromosome-level genomes from sloths and anteaters are helping researchers study xenarthrans — one of the most distinctive branches of the mammalian tree.

What is gene tree discordance? 🌳♻️🌲
🟣 Researchers usually do think there’s a species tree that reflects the history of splitting among lineages, but not all genes have to have this same tree topology.

Bazzicalupo et al analyzed introgression in Iberian and Eurasian lynx with the application of a deep convolutional neural network, detecting specific regions of the genome with signals of gene flow in three populations of these species.

Matthew Hahn introduces gene tree discordance — a challenge in phylogenetics whereby
species trees differ topologically from the phylogenetic trees obtained from individual
genomic loci.
