Happy Slim-ulating in Italy!!

Our preprint exploring the role of Ne and gene expression on purifying selection in penguins has been recommended by @PCIEvolBiol! Approaches can be extended to many non-model organisms, including using expression bins as a proxy for selection coefficients evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?i…

Gene expression is the main driver of purifying selection in large penguin populations. bioRxiv, ver. 2 peer-reviewed and recommended by PCI Evolutionary Biology. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… recommended by Bruce Rannala for @PCIEvolBiol… 🔽

...and we got recommended in PCI Evol Biol! evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?a…. Check out our revised version with great add-ons by @Phylogenetrips. Main THM: purifying selection is effective even at rather small pop size on ca. half of the genes due to high gene exp = high sel coef

We have a new preprint quantifying the anti-correlation between selection and gene expression in King and Emperor penguins 🐧 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have two postdoc positions (two years) available here in Italy at Marche Polytechnic University and the University of Ferrara on the genomics of the Apennine yellow-bellied toad 🐸💛🇮🇹 Come join us! It's great here! DM me for more details!

Yeah, our paper about the @evomics Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics is out in BMC Evolution: Education and Outreach: evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… With @jmibarth, Scott Handley, Daniel Kintzl, @guyleonard, @millanek1, @MeyerBritta , @WSalzburger, @jstefka, @emitruc

** Abstract Submissions for #SMBE23 is now open ** Find your favourite symposium at smbe2023.org Travel awards are available Registration will open on 20 Feb See you in Ferrara! Welcome to Italy! @SMBEmeetings

Finally our work on a Sensitive, variant-robust POC device for SARS-CoV-2 detection based on a ACE2 chimera is out on Nano Today! Great work from a multidisciplinary and international team. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @UnivPoliMarche @StefanoMotta9 @pippomancia @emitruc @FCicconardi

New #HeredityPodcast: Life in the cold In this episode, @emitruc and @CelineLeBohec discuss the genetic basis of cold adaptation in the emperor penguin. Listen now: bit.ly/3YApVAO @GenSocUK @CNRS @AWI_Media

Happy to say that this paper is FINALLY out!! It's been a hard process and I am so thankful to all my co-authors and everyone else that stuck with me. @JentoftSissel @kjetillj @Mark_Ravinet @paulrbe @emitruc @PNASNexus doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…

..and structural analyses (by @mollab_univpm) of one of the candidate genes under selection, the noxious cold receptor #TRPM8, suggest tolerance for colder temperature in Emperor penguin! With @evolinus @silviafux @feteceh Pirri Le Bohec Perta Ancona Zane

Mark your calendars! This time next year, SMBE's annual conference will be in person in Ferrara, Italy on July 23-27! We look forward to seeing you and hearing about your science in a beautiful and historic setting! @OfficialSMBE

This Sunday the world celebrated the #InternationalDayforBiodiversity. Listen as some ERGA members share their thoughts on what Biodiversity means to them! bit.ly/3wM7xry @emitruc @ilianaBista @bedhom @RubySeadragon @Naturalis_Sci @UU_University @UZH_en @Le_Museum

Just in time for the @evomics Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics #WPSG2022 we managed to put together a manuscript about it: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Would you fancy an Evolutionary Biology conference in Italy? EVOLUZIONE2022, Ancona, 4-7 September: sibe-iseb.it/ancona-2022 @sibe_iseb @UnivPoliMarche @erga_biodiv

It did not take place in January, but it will happen in 2022! We're excited to announce the summer edition of the @evomics Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics (#wpsg2022). With @disequilibber, @SpeciationLab, Thorfinn Korneliussen, @3rdreviewer, @WSalzburger,... (1/3)
