Our #phylogenomics study on the evolutionary relationships of birds 🦉🦃🦆🦜based on whole genome analysis of 363 species is now available as a preview article in nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

New open access paper out today in Ecology & Evolution. We sequenced the genome of Cetoscarus ocellatus to find out what makes parrotfishes one of the most morphologically and dietarily specialised radiations on coral reefs (1/3)

Final PhD paper is out! Native 🇦🇺 roaches live in permanent burrows underground. This lifestyle has caused their symbiotic bacteria 🦠 to lose core genes, implying 🪳 have found a novel nutrient source underground. Read more #OpenAccess Insect Science ⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

2yr postdoc position available here in beautiful Tāmaki Makaurau- Auckland. Imputation strategies for low coverage sequencing from wild populations. Working with our fab team and Audald LLoret-Villas. Closing date 15-Jan-24. More info here: asanture.wordpress.com

Excited to share the latest from the #eFLOWERproject : a morphospace study of angiosperm flowers led by Andrea López-Martínez and Marion Chartier!

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

Almost 200 in-person attendees! #Biosystematics2023

Australia’s taxonomists are gathered in Canberra with one central concern: their ambitious goal to name all undescribed species in Australia within a generation may remain out of reach without more government & philanthropic support. #taxonomy Read more: science.org.au/news-and-event…

The workshop will feature the concept, operational workflow, and data analysis of PacBio sequencing technique for students and researchers who are interested in genome sequencing & assembly. Free-of-charge. Please register by 5 August 2023.

Over time, the prevailing notion that amino acid sequences are superior to DNA 🧬 in reconstructing #DeepPhylogenies has rendered AA-based phylogenies an unquestionable #phylogenomic practice
