Maud Tenaillon, Editor-in-Chief of Genome Biology and Evolution: The new GBE logo illustrates how studies on genome evolution can advance our understanding of the emergence of biodiversity and the adaptation of organisms. Both are key questions for addressing current environmental challenges.

and, @stuartmcdaniel.bsky.social !

My favorite part of this paper: the collaboration started after I sent Meng a biorxiv preprint from Stuart's lab.. She contacted him with questions about that work, and the collaboration grew from there.

@hansenlab.bsky.social et al. study the evolution of bacterial symbionts of Pariaconus psyllids in Hawaii, demonstrating that island biogeography and host plant ecology shape symbiont losses and codiversification patterns.

Chromosomal Inversions Mediated by Tandem Insertions of Transposable Elements

We find that transposable elements are the likely mechanism of (some) inversions in cod fishes!

#PopGen New preprint of the team on the discovery of a very high rate of polymorphic duplication in a marine bivalve.

Imagine looking at the distribution of the allelic coverage fraction at heterozygous calls in an indivdual and getting this distribution 👇 😱😱😱

🤝 Join us for the joint MBE/GBE Q&A session on July 23rd, at 13h00, during #SMBE2025. We will answer questions on our journals processes, outlooks, and why choosing MBE or @genomebiolevol.bsky.social as the journal for your next paper supports the growth of our evolutionary biology community.

Of course, at #SMBE2025 we have to follow the lions to find the cocktail hour...

If you are at #SMBE2025, go and listen to why you should publish your work in a #societyjournal! 👇

And don’t forget to submit to @jevbio.bsky.social. ;)

The Role of Alternative Splicing in Marine–Freshwater Divergence in Threespine Stickleback Abstract. Alternative splicing regulates which parts of a gene are kept in the messenger RNA and has long been appreciated as a mechanism to increase the d

To test whether alternative splicing contributes to adaptation, Rodríguez-Ramírez & Peichel analyzed gill RNA-seq data from marine and freshwater sticklebacks, and identified differentially spliced genes enriched in regions under divergent selection.

Loss-of-function mutations cannot simply eliminate some paralogous genes. Duplicated genes encoding homomeric proteins interfere with each other, leading to negative selection on the paralogs, even if they are fully redundant. See our new findings here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
