Organized with Tanja Schwander, Laura Ross (@laurarossevo.bsky.social) and Axel Imhof. meetings.embo.org/event/26-sel... #EMBOselfishElements #EMBOevents
- Thanks @cecilecourret.bsky.social for this great perspective highlighting our recent paper on B chromosomes
- Great introduction to one of my favorite study organisms, and to promote our recent study into how their unusual genetics affects patterns of molecular evolution.
- Reposted by Laura RossIt's finally out! This paper took quite a while but I'm so excited to share now! For anyone who studies sex chromosomes, take note: we found a rare "slower X"! (dN/dS_X < dN/dS_Autos) 👀
- New paper: "Faster adaptation but slower divergence of X chromosomes under paternal genome elimination" (Open Access) w/ Robert Baird, @imprintedgene.bsky.social, Jan Ševčík, Katy Monteith, @laurarossevo.bsky.social & @ajmongue.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natcomms.nature.com
