Thanks to all who came to Tübingen to discuss about Biological Noise, where does it come from, how does it evolve, and what role it plays in phenotypic diversity. We had great discussions despite the not so great weather! Special thanks to @official-smbe.bsky.social for funding it! #BioNoise

Thanks to @eseb.bsky.social for funding our proposal for a Special Topic Network on Polygenic Adaptation. Watch out for workshops/seminars and more activities. The STN runs for several years, so we hope this innitiative can sustain the network of oldies and new members of the polygenic community!

Cool paper @fredguillaume.bsky.social!
Can we predict gene expression evolution? In flour beetles, transcriptome-wide selection predicts expression change, with indirect selection acting strongest on pleiotropic, network-central genes—linking co-expression architecture to adaptation.
