New preprint out! Squamata exhibit deep mitonuclear discordance, driven by shared selective pressures on nuclear and mitochondrial OXPHOS genes along the branches leading to agamids and snakes. Clear signals of convergent evolution is present in key OXPHOS subunits. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Pleased to share our latest paper led by @tomlewin.bsky.social, now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We present the first chromosome-level genome of a phoronid and show that shared chromosomal fusions unite phoronids and bryozoans as sister groups.
