What a nice feeling to come back from holidays and see the last paper of my PhD finally published in its final form in @natcomms.nature.com !! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Want to learn a bit more about the genomic basis of animal terrestrialization? A thread 🧵1/14

Convergent genomic trajectories shape adaptation to life on land across animal lineages - Nature Communications
Animals have moved from water to land many times, but whether they used the same genetic routes has remained unclear. This study shows that independent land transitions relied mostly on ancient, conse...

How did animals repeatedly conquer land? 🌊➡️⛰️ We analysed ~1,000 gene repertoires (24M genes!) from all animal phyla to uncover how this happened. Work led by @gemmaeling.bsky.social & Klara Eleftheriadi, both first coauthors of this titanic effort! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Independent genomic trajectories shape adaptation to life on land across animal lineages
How animals repeatedly adapted to life on land is a central question in evolutionary biology. While terrestrialisation occurred independently across animal phyla, it remains unclear whether shared gen...

If you‘re at #SMBE2025 and you still have a tiny little bit of energy left for the last day tomorrow, I‘d be happy to see you joining my talk at 10:20 tomorrow morning in Room 2, where I‘ll be talking about how TEs can reshape entire genome structures in ants! 🐜🧬👩🏽‍🔬

I can't post @gemmaeling.bsky.social's results, but she started her talk at #SMBE2025 with a great quote from Philippe Janvier about the ancient terrestrial environment being as alien to our marine ancestors as the surface of the moon is to us now.

@svalver.bsky.social et al. analyzed 15 years of Gene Ontology evolution, finding that GO changes not just incrementally, but also via major, curator-driven restructurings. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf148 #evobio #geneontology

Earthworms reveal an evolutionary mechanism which could defy Darwin🪱🧬 📕A new #IBE-led comparative genomics study of earthworms and their marine relatives shows that worms colonised land through evolutionary jumps.🧵 #UnravellingEvolution 👉https://shorturl.at/IyWqH

Can the structure of knowledge evolve like life itself? In our new MBE paper, we show that the Gene Ontology evolves through mechanisms shared with cultural and technological systems—reuse, modularity, and curator-driven restructuring. Here’s what we found: 🧵
