Pleased to announce that our #preprint on the evolutionary history of gene functions is now online at #bioRxiv! We overlayed functional annotations on the evolutionary history of ~4.5M genes from 508 species across the tree of life and found some very cool stuff!

Good morning people at #ESEB2025

Come check out my poster P03.068 today to know about

- The evolutionary history of genes and gene functions from >500 species across the tree of life 🪾

- How that helps us reveal widespread parallelisms in the move from water to land and multicellularity 🧬

Fantastic day 1 @eseb2025.bsky.social ! Talks showing how incorrect orthology and hidden paralogy could affect phylogenetic tree structures; species tree inference from WGA; and how pre-LUCA protein sequences tell you the order in which amino acids emerged!
Super cool stuff #ESEB2025

Checked in @eseb2025.bsky.social in Barcelona. Come check out my poster on Thursday if you want to know the evolutionary history of any gene or its function! #ESEB2025
