Hi y'all. In the midst of [gestures all around], I managed to write a thing.
If you work with mitochondrial DNA sequences in groups such as birds, butterflies, or snakes, you might find it interesting.
Feedback welcome.

The Driving W Hypothesis for Low Within-Population Mitochondrial DNA Diversity and Between-Population Mitochondrial Capture
The fields of evolutionary biology, molecular ecology, genetics, and taxonomy have been profoundly influenced by studies of variation in mitochondrial DNA. Here I propose a hypothesis that will likely...

new work from the lab. Degeneration of Y chromosome does not seem to be one-way street. As a refugium of transposons @Alex Suh @valentinapeona.bsky.social , Y chromosome can recruit some genes by accidental TE burst: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1673852725002243
Gene traffic mediated by transposable elements shaped the dynamic evolution of ancient sex chromosomes of varanid lizard
Lizards usually exhibit frequent turnovers and a much greater diversity of sex determination mechanisms compared to birds and mammals, with the conser…

The difference between doing a project and presenting it. An observation can lead to many avenues of explorations before focus turns to a specific discovery. Presenting it, in a talk / paper, follows inversely, with broad perspectives coming before & after the specific discovery.

There will be a special session during @official-smbe.bsky.social 2025 this year to introduce the Mol Biol Evol studies in China: smbe2025.scimeeting.cn/en/web/index.... My student Huangyi and postdoc Jing Liu will be giving a talk in two other symposiums. See u in Beijing!

Zhu, @zhouqi1982.bsky.social et al. produce a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Amur rat snake (Elaphe schrenckii) using HiFi and Hi-C data (1.69 Gbp; N50 = 215 Mb; 97.4% BUSCO), an important resource for studying snake evolution.
