Don’t miss this paper by @jrozasub.bsky.social group, with interesting findings on genome size evolution on a 🕷️’s radiation on oceanic 🏝️
Moreover, they present the complete genome of Dysdera catalonica included in the @catbiogenoma.bsky.social

A third paper comes out. I want to stress that sequencing and annnotating the complete genome of the Balearic shearwater, under the umbrella of the @catbiogenoma.bsky.social, has been key to develope this work. Showing how the efforts of the @ebpgenome.bsky.social will help biodiversity conservation

In five years, SARS-CoV-2 became one of the most closely examined viruses on the planet. A feature in Nature outlines four lessons from the pandemic that some say could empower the global response to future pandemics. 🧪

Viernes 17 de Enero. Último día en el parador de #Mazagon, nos despedimos de este #SGPE2025 hablando de #drosophila #arabidopsis #truchas y mucho más . Un seminario que sin duda deja huella. Un placer para #SEG seguir apoyando estás reuniones de grupos tan necesarias para nuestra sociedad.
