Extremely happy that our work is now published in @JEvBio (society journal @eseb_org ) 🧬🐒🐀🐋. Detecting diversifying selection for a trait from within and between-species genotypes and phenotypes. academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-ar… See 🧵below:

For nerds :-)

We are delighted that a Special Issue on Micro-Macro is now open for submissions at @JEvBio (edited by @eseb_org). Informal inquiries are welcome (DM/emails/comments/...).

Here comes PhylteR, our new tool for the detection of outliers in phylogenomic datasets PhylteR finds a common signal from multiple distance matrices (gene trees) and iteratively identifies species in gene trees whose removal increases this signal biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/3

Great general article (in fr) in this month's @Epsiloon_mag on GHOST LINEAGES! With quotes from many colleagues on the subject (@AndrewFoote2 , @Gogarten_Lab , @sr_sankararaman , @Jente_O , @theo_treecou , Stéphanie Bedhomme, @MKuhlwilm ) Thanks @Apihen for such a nice work!

Risque de black-out, centrales fermées… Le nucléaire s'impose au cœur des débats sur les enjeux climatiques et énergétiques de demain. A Epsiloon, nous lui consacrons un Dossier Spécial. La rédaction s’est mobilisée, on a un peu bousculé le sommaire. Notre n°18 sort aujourd’hui.

Thanks to l'#Humanité_magazine for this double page (in french) on #ghosts and their impact for the study of gene flow!!! It's really nice to see the PhD work of @theotreecou at @LbbeLyon (with Eric Tannier and myself) being so well covered by mainstream medias!

@Th_Lenormand and I are looking for a Master student to study sex chromosome evolution in a group of Silene species. This internship will consist in bioinformatic and statistical analyses and has the potential to lead to a PhD. Please feel free to contact us for more details.

This morning, @PourlaScience (pourlascience.fr) talks about ghosts!! A short article (in french) on our results on the impact of ghost lineages for the study of gene flow! web: pourlascience.fr/sd/evolution/c… pdf: medias.pourlascience.fr/api/v1/files/6…

Two Master 2 fellowships around here: ➡️ Creation of an #R package for the visualization of Biological data with #Lifemap ➡️ Dev. of supervised learning approaches to explore #ghost diversity (w. @Bastounette and @ljacob) Send me a Direct Message to get the full descriptions

Great day with @LbbeLyon at the 2022 Science Festival! @UnivLyon1 @CNRS_dr07 Presenting games and animations about #Evolution, featuring @lifemap_tol of course!!

#RésultatScientifique 🔎 Cette étude conduit à proposer de nouvelles façons d’étudier les flux de gènes en reconnaissant l'existence d’espèces fantômes (inconnues/éteintes) et leur contribution aux génomes des espèces actuelles ➡️inee.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/le… 📕 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

New pre-print alert 🚨 Genes and sites under adaptation at the phylogenetic scale also exhibit adaptation at the population-genetic scale. See 🧵below: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now published in @MolBioEvol ! Hope this will encourage phylogenetic tree visualization software developers to incorporate this layout in their tools!? #Dendroscope #ggtree #iToL #FigTree #EvolView ... Please RT to colleagues who might be interested! academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

"Ghosts" (extinct & unknown species) are overlooked in evolutionary studies of #GeneFlow. @theo_treecou Eric Tannier @damdevienne show that taking such "#GhostLineages" into account changes the conclusions of several studies on this subject #PLOSBiology plos.io/3qImV5P

Ghost lineages haunt the evolutionary history of species, but are seldom considered when studying gene flow. This can lead to spurious conclusions. As such, we suggest that we should interpret gene flow with the signature of ghost lineages as the foremost hypothesis.

Still hot from the oven, my the second paper as first author with @damdevienne and E. Tannier. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
