Analysing genomes under typical, simple assumptions, gives answers that are simple but wrong. Protracted rediploidisation following genome duplication uncouples gene and genome duplication dates. Great work by @ak_redmond & @DearbhaileCasey @tcdgenmicro rdcu.be/dcxoR

I'm really excited to share this great paper on the sturgeon-paddlefish whole genome duplications. Kudos to @ak_redmond who did the lion's share of the work, with input from @manukg91 and Daniel J Macqueen. Here follows a 🧵on the main points ... @tcddublin @TCDFacultySTEM

My word, I am so absolutely over the moon about this.

I prefer to think of it as a true crime podcast, but about graphs..

11yo and me are loving Series 2 of Uncharted with @FryRSquared bedtime stories for #STEM people the kid calls it. Favourite episode so far Whispers from the Cosmos about Jocelyn Bell Burnell's discovery of pulsars👇bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

mind when Kris Kristofferson came over, hugged her and told Sinéad O’Connor ‘don’t let the bastards get you down’ when she was being booed on stage, and then wrote this song about her

Delighted to share that the first paper from my lab at @ucddublin @UCDMedicine , where I take special pains to avoid phylogenetic errors in proposing a novel set of relationships for Xenacoelomorpha, is out now: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

My latest collaboration with the one and only Anne-Ruxandra @carvunis is out in @GenomeBiolEvol ! Can we determine if/when a gene was born de novo by reconstructing its evolutionary past? We tried 👇

Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction is a powerful approach for inferring evolutionary trajectories. How powerful is it for young de novo sequences, though? academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…

Nice article in @NewsfromScience today about our preprint on massive genomic rearrangements in clitellates and their potential role in the colonization of land (thanks to @NerdyChristie for the fun chat about our work!) science.org/content/articl…

Only a few days remaining to register.

Registration for our EMBO course in gorgeous Nafplion, Greece is open! With an excellent lineup of speakers and really affordable fees, this is a great deal for PhDs and postdocs. Please help spread the word! #EMBOEvoCompGenomics

Historians will point to these headlines as proof that signs of genocide were available for all to see AS IT HAPPENED, yet most chose to either ignore the slaughter- or even worse, actively support it This differs from the Holocaust, where most evidence emerged AFTER the war...

So my legend of a cousin Lorcan just realised he was kind of important to the creation of @foofighters @FooFightersUK He saw a video by Dave Grohl talking about why he got back to work after a visit to Ireland. Lorcan was out hitchhiking wearing his nirvana top when Dave stopped

Every word of this.

This isnt going where you think it is. 🧵 One of the most annoying things about children is that they want you to stop what you're doing every 0.7 seconds to watch them attempt what I think is supposed to be a cartwheel, or show you how good they are at standing on one leg.
