Hybridization between previously isolated lineages is main source of diversity within the population.
Hybridisation breaks species barriers in long-term coevolution of a cyanobacterial population.

"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"
🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The value of gene duplication
Experiments in bacteria test a 50-year-old hypothesis on how duplicate genes help living things evolve.
Experiments in bacteria test the 50-year-old Ohno’s hypothesis that having duplicates of a gene (true for about 50% of them) allows evolution to accelerate. #EvoBio #Evolution

A phylogeny of the 7 ape genomes that have now been completed from "T2T", with Homer Simpson representing mankind.
A project five years in the making, we've now published complete "T2T" genomes for six additional ape species! It turns out that finishing (and analyzing) six genomes is slightly more work than one... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

So glad this is finally out. The method has been instrumental in allowing us to compress the AllTheBacteria data - ~2 million bacterial genomes shrink from 3Terabytes (gzipped) to 100Gb using phylogenetic compression. Great work by @brinda.eu
