Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. scim.ag/4tsDqRr

@ericanadolski.bsky.social et al. present sex-specific chromosomal-level genome assemblies of the southern African beetle Onthophagus binodis; analyses show that the nine autosomes and the X chromosome are likely conserved throughout Onthophagini. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag023 #genome #evolution

GBE | Chromosome-Level Sex-Specific Genome Assemblies of Onthophagus binodis Provide Insight into Scarab Sex Chromosomes

Male (top) and female (bottom) individuals of the humpbacked dung beetle, Onthophagus binodis. Sex-specific chromosome-level genome assemblies for this species are providing key insights into the evolution of scarab traits.

Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta: rdcu.be/eXX8l
