Incredible and important piece of work by @jlsteenwyk.bsky.social
NEW pub in @science.org 🥳

Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life?

For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided.

We provide new evidence suggesting that...

Due to the high level of interest in ESEB 2025 (17–22 August, Barcelona, Spain), the Committee has decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to Monday, 5 May 2025 which means you have more time to perfect your abstract for our symposium! @wgdip.bsky.social
Join us at #ESEB2025 in Barcelona for ‘Evolution After Whole Genome Duplication: Transformative Advances and New Directions’ – a symposium organised by WGDip, with talks from project members.
Abstract deadline: April 25th. We look forward to hearing about your WGD discoveries!
