Phylogenomics, the study of evolutionary relationships using genomic data, has revolutionized our understanding of the Tree of Life. As a field, phylogenomics h

The domination of scientific publishing in the Global North by major commercial publishers is harmful to science. We need the most powerful members of the research community, funders, governments and ...

La Guyane est un laboratoire naturel idéal pour étudier la biodiversité tropicale. Depuis 14 ans, le Labex CEBA, basé en Guyane française et porté par le CNRS, cherche à comprendre l’origine et le mai...

Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialised mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptations remain...
