How do duplicated receptor genes "find a home" in olfactory circuits? Great study by the Arguello lab shows the re-coding of olfactory channels across species. Neat combination of phylogenetic reconstruction, sc-transcriptomics and more. Check out the pre-print: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
New report from @bentonlab.bsky.social in #G3journal used #GWAS, #transcriptome-to-phenotype, and mutant analyses to identify genes linked to octanoic acid resistance, revealing evolutionary pathways in the species-specific tolerance of toxins in #drosophilids. 🪰

Excited to share that I will start my lab at the Center for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne @unil.bsky.social in Jan 2027! I’m looking for PhD students fascinated by how cells build tissues and excited about developing new technologies to study development across scales. www.wanlab.bio/pages/9397
Great article on the kinds of people that will thrive in an academic career. It is a funny skillset, but when you look around you see all of these selections at play
@jlarsch.bsky.social and I are organising the 2026 CIG Symposium on June 11-12 in Lausanne on "Information transfer: from genes to behaviour", featuring an eclectic set of brilliant scientists. Details and registration here (abstracts by May 1, registration by June 1):

Please help spread the word!
Odorant receptors ( Or s) are the interface between an animal’s nervous system and its olfactory environment. In insect genomes, the Or s are often the largest gene family, and their rapid duplication...
Brilliant news and so well-deserved - congratulations!
