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...

End of year science thread: a few memorable papers that came out this year. Last year I didn't include any paleontology, but this time I'll start with a paper about early animal evolution that I absolutely adore, although I'm biased as a friend of the authors @egmitchell.bsky.social 🧪 1/7

I guess also worth including that @vargaschavezc.bsky.social @rosafernandez.bsky.social preprint from last year's list came out in full version www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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...
