Our new algorithm PHACE: Phylogeny-Aware Detection of Molecular Coevolution, by me and Ogรผn Adebali (@compgenomics.bsky.social), is now published in Molecular Biology and Evolution.

Many thanks to @nehircanozdemir.bsky.social for the beautiful illustration of PHACE!

The image is a poster for the "Variant Effects Seminar Series" dated August 5th, 2025. The top section is a blue header with white, bold text indicating the seminar series name and date. Below, the time for different time zones is given: 9-10 am (PACIFIC), 12-1 pm (EASTERN), and 5-6 pm (GMT). On the left side of the poster, a vertical DNA helix graphic in black is visible. To the right, there are two circular photographs of speakers with talk titles.

The Gene That Made Mice Squeak Strangely (Gift Article) A new study suggests that the NOVA1 gene may have been a key player in the evolution of human language.

A gene called NOVA1 may be part of the solution to the mystery of how our ancestors evolved language. Here's my story about mice with strange squeaks. [Gift link] nyti.ms/3XuVehN ๐Ÿงช

NOVA1, a neuron-specific RNA binding protein & splicing factor, likely impacted language function in human evolution. Human NOVA1 is unique (vs mammals, Neanderthals), & it changes vocalization in CRISPRโ€™d mice!
