🚨 New ERGA-BGE study alert! 🚨 @BioGenEurope The reference genome of Erebia palarica, a montane butterfly endemic to North-West Iberia 🦋, is now available. Explore its insights for biodiversity 🌍✨ ➡️ Read the full preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… #genomes for #biodiversity

So excited to be organizing this with @KayLucek! Come to our lovely swiss city and share with all your network, we're gonna have a great time! 🧬🦋🌱🪱

@BioGenEurope @REA_research @EBPgenome @CE3CResearch @cienciasulisboa @polli_net @cobig2 @ISBSIB @OctavioSPaulo @UmeaPlantSci @umeauniversity @nrs298 #ERGABlog | This Monday we head to the Alps 🏔️ and learn more about the @BioGenEurope case study investigating the functional #Genomic diversity of #butterflies in the context of adaptation to environmental change 🦋 Text by @CamilleCornet17 erga-biodiversity.eu/post/genomic-r…







Happy to share our press release (in French) from @UniNeuchatel! We propose a new 3D genomics view to help understand species diversification 🧬🌱🦋 with @crazy_chipkali @scueridae @KayLucek -> The press release: bit.ly/4cHOdzn -> The paper: bit.ly/4cHycd3

Very excited to start a @BioGenEurope case study with @KayLucek on the adaptive potential of alpine butterflies in changing environments! 🦋🏔️We will annotate genomes to showcase the importance of genomics for conservation 🧬 @REA_research, @SBFI_CH, @ISBSIB, @Eugreenresearch



🚨 🧵 We (@CamilleCornet17 , @scueridae , @KayLucek & I) are delighted to share our perspectives on how the 3D genome structure could be both a cause & a consequence of speciation, just out in @TrendsGenetics !!Keeping reading 👇🏾 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 1/4
