Huge congrats, Alex, and the rest of the team 😍

Repressive cytosine methylation is a marker of viral gene transfer across divergent eukaryotes Abstract. Cytosine DNA methylation patterns vary widely across eukaryotes, with its ancestral roles being understood to have included both transposable ele

Happy to see our latest work out in @molbioevol.bsky.social. We revisit the evolution of 5-methylcytosine across neglected eukaryotic supergroups, establishing an ancestral repressive role silencing genome invaders, both transposons and viral elements👾: academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-... 🧵 1/7

Had a great time at the #UKEVODEVO last Friday. Lots of fantastic talks and great discussions. Thanks all the organisers for giving me the opportunity of presenting our latest data on mayflies and meeting very good friends in sunny London.

Hello from London! #UKEVODEVO

🧪How did life begin—and why does it matter? A new @asm.org report explores the origin of microbial life and its impact on biotech, climate, and astrobiology.
Dr. @tonigabaldon.bsky.social contributed on eukaryotic origins.

Pint of Science in Barcelona with @davidperis.bsky.social and @isabelalmudi.bsky.social 🪰👀

#PintOfScience arriba la setmana que ve a Barcelona! Les investigadores @isabelalmudi.bsky.social i Eva Quintana de @geneticsub.bsky.social hi participen.
Més info: pintofscience.es/events/barce...

Strange stripy orange fly with striped and spotted wings, and banded technicolor compound eyes. Long setae all over

Close shot of the creature's wild eyes, stripy yellow and maroon and hints of light blue and green.

Top view; wings are folded, they have a transparent outer edge with dark veins like zebra stripes, and orange with like blue-ringed octopus spots on the inner surface.

Face of the creature, both compound eyes visible.

Paracantha fruit fly, just cranking the style slider to 100 and seeing what happens.

I love it, is what happens. 💛

Ja tenim #pintofscience a Barcelona !!

I’m very excited to share our work on the early evolution of animal regulatory genome architecture - the main project of my postdoc, carried out across two wonderful and inspirational labs of @arnausebe.bsky.social and @mamartirenom.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Huge congrats tonall the authors! Beautiful work 😍

Proud to present the peer-reviewed version of our Cell Type Allometry paper, out today in Science Advances!

Are animals of different sizes made of the same cell types?

Here’s an update of the main points and revision items
