One gene, two different destinies 🧬🐸 Our new research on Xenopus frogs uncovers fascinating genetic split. We found that the gene dmrt1 behaves differently depending on sex: journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… @PLOS @PLOSGenetics #evolution #CRISPR #Xenopus

Productive Summer and great experience with National Xenopus Resource @XenopusNXR at Marine Biological Laboratory @MBLScience, Woods Hole, MA, USA. Big thanks to the Whitman Fellowship program 🧬👨‍🔬🧪 #Xenopus #evolution #CRISPR

So many mechanisms that determine whether an embryo develops into a male or female in the frog genus Xenopus. How did these mechanisms evolved? Happy to share our new paper: Rapid Sex Chromosome Turnover in African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus) and the Origins.. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…

I was very happy to attend the 2024 Great Lake Annual Meeting of Evolutionary Genomics (GLAM-Evogen) in Syracuse, NY, USA and represent @McMasterU and @CharlesUniPRG. The conference did not have a single mistake. #evolution #xenopus #opjak #SexChromosomes #GLAMevogen

The 3rd Congress on Evolutionary Biology is over. It was great to meet many and new people, researchers, and evolutionary biologists (such as @DedukhDmitrij) and represent @McMasterU and @CharlesUniPRG. #Evol2024 #evolution #xenopus #opjak #SexChromosomes

In the Bufo toad, we discovered a new candidate gene that controls whether an embryo develops into a male or female. "A candidate sex determination locus in amphibians which evolved by structural variation between X- and Y-chromosomes". nature.com/articles/s4146…

Extremely happy to share our paper published in Nature Communication: A candidate sex determination locus in amphibians which evolved by structural variation between X- and X- and Y-chromosomes disq.us/t/4ozpufr @NatureComms @NaturePortfolio

I am thrilled to share a new paper that describes the evolution of rDNA loci in the plant genus Vigna #Protoplasma @SpringerNature rdcu.be/dBnxZ

Happy to share a paper where we described a new new ploidy level in Hymenochirus frog discovered in wild Africa. It resulted from fusion (20->18chr) followed by polyploidization (18->36chr). A new species? Diversity within a species? Here we uncover new questions in taxonomy.

Great scientific visit in Marko Horb lab @MBLScience @XenopusNXR in Woods Hole, MA, USA. It is a pleasure to collaborate with Horb lab (@sburton013 etc) on the genome editing part of the multidisciplinary OP JAK @msmtcr project. #xenopus #CRISPR

Lucky to have been involved in many projects during my PhD with Ben Evans ⁦⁦@McMasterU⁩ .Happy to see this one published. Functional dissection and assembly of a small, newly evolved, W chromosome-specific genomic region of the African clawed frog journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…
