Predicting the effect of a #mutation on #fitness is hard. @oliviamghosh.bsky.social @petrovadmitri.bsky.social &co use fitness effects of adaptive yeast mutants to show that underlying genotype-phenotype-fitness maps are low-dimensional but context-dependent @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dLy2Ez
Did you know that many organisms delete parts of their genome during development? To know more please join us at the Roscoff meeting on "Mechanistic and Evolutionary Basis of Programmed DNA Elimination" Sep21- 25, 2026. Please share! cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conferenc...
The fruit of a team gathering complementary and unique skills of different people, I love when this happens! And happy about the result :) congrats @omeriltas.bsky.social , @kovacik.bsky.social , L. Salomon, S. Hafidh, M. Certner, P. Talacko & K. Harant!

I wish I’d chosen this research topic when I was young !
Enjoy this nice meeting in the wonderful city of Roscoff !

L'interview de @juliebatut.bsky.social pour continuer la lente réhabilitation de Marthe Gautier est excellente. Un cas d'école des pratiques à condamner dans le monde académique lorsque l'on en est témoin.

In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.....

Ever wondered what makes some alleles dominant (A) and others recessive (a) ?
In our new paper, we explored how a series of recently discovered "dominance modifiers", genetic elements that have long remained elusive, achieve their regulatory function. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...
Marthe Gautier est à l’origine de la découverte du chromosome surnuméraire de la trisomie 21, anomalie génétique qui touche 50 000 personnes en France. À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale de la trisom...
Author summary Many plants avoid self-fertilization through a system of self-incompatibility, which allows them to recognize and reject their own pollen. In plants like those in the Arabidopsis family...

Florence Débarre démonte les hypothèses défendues par les auteurs du film "Covid, le secret des origines", posant la question du soutien qu'ils semblent apporter aux thèses conspirationnistes.

Deux espèces peuvent se reproduire et échanger des gènes, c’est l’hybridation. Le plus souvent, les descendants survivent mal ou restent stériles. Parfois, des gènes utiles se diffusent, et plus rarem...
