Thrilled to share our new paper in Genome Biology & Evolution! 🌊
We discovered an ocean of opsins in marine zooplankton — unveiling how these animals evolved to sense light across the world’s seas.

An Ocean of Opsins
Abstract. In this study, we explored the diversity and evolution of opsins using meta-omic data from the Tara Oceans and Tara Polar Circle expeditions, one

New preprint reveals bacteria can't just collect all resistance genes like Pokemon cards.
We found mutually exclusive evolutionary pathways to multidrug resistance in E. coli & P. aeruginosa - some resistance mechanisms actively prevent others from coexisting www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Genomic constraints shape the evolution of alternative routes to drug resistance in prokaryotes
Background Variation within the prokaryotic pangenome is not random, and natural selection that favours particular combinations of genes appears to dominate over random drift. What is less clear is wh...

Something geeky outside the science geek.
The constume was designed by me starting from the in game Alakazam 3-D model! I am quite proud of it!
Thanks to @GMennellla for the amazing interpretation!
