Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story.

Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

My preprint is finally out on bioRxiv! 🌿🧬 It’s the result of years of work and thinking about how whole-genome duplication shapes evolution.
If you're into polyploidy and adaptation, have a look! ✨

Repeated colonisation of alpine habitats by Arabidopsis arenosa involved parallel adjustments of leaf cuticle traits Cuticle function can be pivotal to plant success in different environments. Yet, the occurrence of intraspecific adjustments in cuticle traits resulting from acclimation or adaptation to different h...

Leaf cuticule traits evolved in alpine populations of Arabidopsis arenosa 🌱. Nice way to say hi to Bluesky 🦋

Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🚀 We explore the genomic basis of serpentine adaptation in two ploidies and species of Alyssum and reveal evolutionary convergence with Arabidopsis. Check it out! 🌿🔬 #evolution #genomics #arabidopsis #serpentine
