Changes in insect diversity and abundance can affect vertebrates but understanding these consequences relies on having rich information about vertebrate–insect interactions. This Review summarizes the...

Transposable elements (TEs) are key contributors to genome evolution, yet their macroevolutionary roles in adaptive radiations remain poorly understood, as high-quality genomic resources at sufficient...

This month's ERGA BioGenome Analysis & Applications Seminar will feature talks by Emile Gluck-Thaler and Aaron Vogan on the recently discovered Starship giant transposons and their implications for…

Opportunities Below are the positions currently open in our lab. Open PhD position (full time) Comparative and Population Genomics of Butterflies at High Elevations. The project aims to understand …

Abstract. Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, influencing phenotypic variation and facilita

The three-dimensional architecture of genomes plays major roles in biological processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. The architecture of genomes has evolved substantially with distinct...

Abstract. Understanding reproductive isolation (RI) between lineages is a central goal of speciation research. While the strength of RI has been estimated

PhD position in evolutionary genomics, Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University

Porté par l'Université de Lausanne et l’ETH Zurich, le nouveau pôle de recherche national “Genesis” associe chimistes, géologues et astronomes, biologistes. L’objectif est ambitieux: comprendre comment la matière inanimée devient vivante, sur Terre comme ailleurs.

Sequencing shows duplication of genes that affect mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy for cells.

Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non-walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosen...

Abstract. The transition from terrestrial to marine environments represents one of the most fundamental evolutionary shifts in vertebrate history, requirin
