"Why sequence the #genome of every species? A view from evolutionary biology" Did you catch this amazing new review in our journal by @peterhox.bsky.social? REad it for FREE here now: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... @thembauk.bsky.social #dnasequencing #chromosome #mutation #evolution

Latest paper - out today - my personal views on why and how sequencing 100,000s of animal genomes will revolutionize evolutionary biology (and much more besides): tinyurl.com/JMBAgenome - open access in @journalofthemba.bsky.social. @biology.ox.ac.uk

Our latest paper - interesting patterns of gene loss in duplicated Hox clusters of snails and slugs - Masters project of Finn McHale who just graduated with an MBiol 1st Class. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We are excited to announce the 'official' start of our BBSRC funded sLoLa project, where we aim to uncover the role of rediploidisation in shaping evolution after genome duplication events across the tree of life!

👏 Of course, a big round of applause to the fantastic work put in by the Local Organizing Committee, conference staff, and volunteers, without whom none of this would have happened!

"There are places in the world where science is under threat, and we need to make sure that we explain to non-scientists why our approach is important" @peterhox.bsky.social's parting shot at #SMBE2025

It's day 4 of #SMBE2025!

We kickstart with the plenary talk of Peter Holland (@peterhox.bsky.social), who reminds us of the immense value of sequencing one, two, and many more genomes.

The day goes on...
