Check out this fantastic #new #genome #ressource for >1000 mammals 🦊 and >850 birds 🐦 🧬
Good morning from Vienna☀️!
Sampling #historical 100+ year old #eels for the #flexibEEL project in the fantastic #collection of the NHM Wien @nhmwien.bsky.social 🙂🐟

What a #collection @nhmwien.bsky.social 🤩

When these #eels 🐟were caught, the world still ran on sail and steam.
#Darwin was years away from "Origin of Species🐦". #Mendel had not even planted a pea🪴.
Today, the same specimens may tell us whether/how eels can adapt to the #Anthropocene🐟🏢.

Thrilled to share new Evo-Devo work where we address the molecular, cellular & morphometric basis of an extreme axis segmentation program in the Japanese eel — an animal that forms 120 vertebrae.
I am hiring a PhD student to join our group in Lund, Sweden working on an ERC-funded project to untangle color and polarization vision in some amazing crustaceans – minute water fleas and pugnacious mantis shrimp!
Please forward this to promising students. Apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

@eksramos.bsky.social et al. reveal that the marine transition in turtles is characterized by rapid evolution and expansion of genes linked to iron metabolism, organ morphogenesis, sensory perception, mirroring other secondarily marine tetrapods.

Happy to announce the release of TOGA2 data for 68 turtle genomes, generated with a cryptodiran and a pleurodiran turtle reference. The combined TOGA2 annotation consistently improves annotation completeness compared with RefSeq. All data at genome.senckenberg.de/download/TOGA2. Genome browsers ...

Abstract. The transition from terrestrial to marine environments represents one of the most fundamental evolutionary shifts in vertebrate history, requirin
We now have genome browsers on our UCSC mirror at genome.senckenberg.de for the 1033 mammal and 866 bird assemblies, showing spliceAi, reference-based and ref-integrated TOGA2 tracks.
Tables with links to all browsers are genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Mammali... & genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Aves.html
