If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Here, the potential of horizontal gene transfer detection methods were explored, based on phylogenies, to detect & quantify ghost diversity. What did they find? Read the full paper to find out (2/2)👇🧪🌍 doi.org/10.1093/evol... @bastien-boussau.bsky.social @damdevienne.bsky.social

Gene flow can reveal ghost lineages

Abstract. Ghost species, encompassing extinct, unknown, and unsampled taxa, vastly outnumber those typically included in phylogenetic analyses. This hidden

The next LEGEND conference on machine learning for evolutionary genomics will be in Aussois (French Alps) between December 8th and 12th. Mark your calendars and make sure your best work is ready next September when the call for abstracts opens 🙂 legend2025.sciencesconf.org

A legendary being holds a phylogenetic tree in the palm of their hand, with snowy mountains in the background.
