For the water to land nodes, terms inside a GO cluster were
Bone development in tetrapods 🦴
Open tracheal system in arthropods
Seed/Leaf development in plants 🍀
These were all anatomical structures which organisms needed to survive on land.

Again... these were captured from gene annotations!

Eukaryotes = splicing + cell cycle + transcription/translation
Metazoa = differentiation + embryo development + nervous systems
Vertebrates = immune response + digestive systems + circulatory systems

So we are recovering characteristic #traits from gene annotations!

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!

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
