Lophophorata is monophyletic!
Super excited to see this work out in Current Biology - we sequenced a phoronid genome and used shared chromosome fusions to confirm the monophyly of Lophophorata.
A big team effort from the Luo Lab @yjluo.bsky.social!

Delighted to see our new paper out, led by PhD student Asia Hoile. We explored new genes that emerged during the early evolution of Lepidoptera 🦋
Many cool insights which we think open up new questions to explore.
Get in touch if you have thoughts/want to discuss more!

Gene novelty and gene family expansion in the early evolution of Lepidoptera - BMC Genomics
Background Almost 10% of all known animal species belong to Lepidoptera: moths and butterflies. To understand how this incredible diversity evolved we assess the role of gene gain in driving early lep...
