- Reposted by Giacinto De VivoHappy to share Jialin's first publication. She did a great job exploring the transition to land in animals. Co-supervised by the great Jordi Paps and me and in collaboration with Davide Pisani and @phil-donoghue.bsky.social

- Reposted by Giacinto De VivoHappy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.
- Reposted by Giacinto De VivoNEW pub in @science.org 🥳 Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life? For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided. We provide new evidence suggesting that... 🔗: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Giacinto De Vivo@xodroont.bsky.social et al. explored the diversity and evolution of opsins using meta-omic data from the Tara Oceans and Tara Polar Circle expeditions, identifying opsins across the different metazoan groups. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf189 #genome #evolution #opsins
- Thrilled to share our new paper in Genome Biology & Evolution! 🌊 We discovered an ocean of opsins in marine zooplankton — unveiling how these animals evolved to sense light across the world’s seas. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #MarineBiology #Evolution
- Reposted by Giacinto De VivoNew preprint reveals bacteria can't just collect all resistance genes like Pokemon cards. We found mutually exclusive evolutionary pathways to multidrug resistance in E. coli & P. aeruginosa - some resistance mechanisms actively prevent others from coexisting www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
