Is the rate of protein evolution really constant through time? In our new preprint, we map lineage-specific shifts in evolutionary rates across thousands of protein families spanning the tree of life and explore how evolutionary history and protein structure shape these patterns. Check it out:

Just wrapped up an amazing visit at @isemevol.bsky.social with an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant! Thanks to @embo.org and to fantastic team here for welcoming me. This let me start a new collaboration on a very exiting project, and it has been an incredible experience. Stay tuned for more updates!

Does population size shape protein coevolution? I explored this in my talk today at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology. Our work in mammals suggests the answer is yes - genetic drift is a major determinant of compensatory mutations. #evolution #genomics #proteinevolution @mpi-evolbio.bsky.social
