New paper from the lab out! How did animals move repeteadly from water to land?
We compared ca. 1,000 animal genomes across the animal kingdom to ask whether evolution reused the same genomic solutions.
The answer: same challenge, but many genomic routes 🧵1/n

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...
